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.

nice photoshopped version user added image
theres maybe too much fur around the eye area is its looking a bit obscured. Maybe also a cleaner transition of the fur on the cheek but those are only failrly minor things.
I'd be tempted to do the same on mine with photoshop but will probably just touch up the fur I already have.

Good progress, keep coming along. I do think you need to change your trashy icon of the girl. Not everyone wants to look at it.

Thanks!

Good luck with the gorilla

I have no problem with the trashy girl avatar. I wish it was bigger.user added image

Anyway, great job on the modeling! I would reccomend following your refferences a bit closer on future projects, but thats just my own opinion. I really dig the over all detail you put into it, and the render is very good. I believe you should enter the next challenge as a Normal.

Best of luck!user added image
