This course will look at the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. We'll look at what makes a good model in Maya and why objects are modeled in the way they are.

Re: first ant model
Hehehe, I´m sure you´ll get it babyduck, Nurbs are difficult to work with ... however nice entry! looking forward on seeing more.Originally posted by babyduck
ok i moved the ant over to maya. and i had some real fun with nurb spheresso basically i give up for today. the stitching did not work, it messed all up, so instead i lofted the cutted open poles of the spheres together - that seams to work without destroying the shape. but all the legs is missing. i think i will go to poly and subd soon. nurbs is not fun to work with, but cool shapes for head and body
and i thought a maya ocean is nice to have instead of black as background.
comments welcome

wow, only took you an hour, and i needed so long to put the spheres together. i think i will steal your idea, when happy with shape i will make it look more mechanicalOriginally posted by Kurt
Just started on the model about an hour and a half ago, so far im just getting the shape. Once im happy with the shape ill start teching it up and making look metal.
Comments, ideas welcome.
Kurt
cannot wait to see your model finished ...

Remember guys, keep on commenting here as you´ve always done with the competitions, I´ll keep on updating the Showcase, that way, you won´t get lost with the images.
By the way: Just in case, the "comment here" link you can find in all the entries post just links to this page, so it´ll add another post here so remember to say to who it is intended to. For example, If you saw the image of undseth at the showcase, and you want to comment it, remember to say "undseth".

If it isn´t in the competition then perhaps it´s a WIP or a Finished Work forum material.
Hope this helps Cyrius.
Looking forward on your SpiderMech entry.

If you´re making something for the competition like the Spidermech, then post here the mech´s screenshots. Everyone will comment them here also.
If it isn´t for the competition then I believe i´t goes somewhere else right?
Did you understand?
Looking forward on your entry.
