This course will look in the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. It's aimed at people that have some modeling experience in Maya but are having trouble with
complex objects.
Really nice. Nice anim vid too. I had a quick Google to see the "9 color christen eagle pattern"... I couldn't see any decals you could trace, but the pattern, while really nice, isn't too complex. You shouldn't have too much of a problem replicating it.

"Yes."

The bottom edge of the fuselage of Christen Eagle II is very tight. My model was not and as much as I kept telling myself it looked better more rounded it was just not an accurate representation of the actual airplane so I tightened the edge.
Although this caused me to have to adjust a lot of other components I will sleep better knowing the model is a more faithful representation of the real plane.

The pinstriping and lighting makes a much better impact ctbram!!! That is one good looking model!! Are you going to tutorial it?? I want the first DVD or download!!!

I think the latest renders are looking pretty good. I would turn on shadows but I can't seem to get soft edges with mental ray so I just kept ray traced shadows off.
I would like to add a panel line layer. I would also like to add some kind of displacement to simulate the fabric sag between the wing ribs.
I am in the process of drawing up the actual 9-color christen eagle II paint scheme on my plane. So I will have some more renders with a different paint scheme soon.
