Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

wait... normally what we'd expect from you is something from the 80s like a transformer or heman character...
but now that you said its something we might not expect you're suggesting that we should be it's something else, but then maybe you're saying that so that we think it's something else and then proceed with an old transformer or heman toy...

therefore, i dont know what to expect from you and whatever you do will be a surprise to me




that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"

Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D

I promise no 80`s toys - just in case someone else gets a headache from reading Chirone`s post - but was tempted to something from them toy ranges.

And no I did not have a Rupert the bear - I hated that thing.

Its something really out the (toy)box

Well your all wrong - but apparently so am I - I thought this toy was a 90`s one but it turns out it was 1989 - oh well - what is it .... well its this

Now I know how much I go on about hating Nint(not had a good idea since Pokemon)endo but this little box brought me hours of fun. It was also the last gift I ever got from my Nan and Granddad for Christmas before they past away (both in same year) many years ago.

fI you want to play it you can for free here at this great little website

Again I want to focus on the lighting shading for this challenge so I know the shape is a little basic but do have a backup plan if I get it done too quickly.

Only joking - Created the texture for the lid from a number of different images. Then started on the upper screen casing on the inside - Tricky little bugger.
