a question asked.

it was asked how I did the ribs. well if your not intrested don't read farther. It's not like I'm a expert.

basiclly it was just like what I'm doing with the back. I select the faces ware its supost sink in, and extrude. I just scale them down in size insted of up.. when smothed this makes a indention like in pic 1. but not happy with that I need to make the edges harder. so I extrude agin like pic 2. shrenking it just a little more. thin I increase the size verticaly to tuck the edges of that face up onder the other some. like in pic 3. this gives the result when smothed like in pic 4.

Thanks vectorman about thumbs up on the first one.. still would like to finish it.

about the 2000$ well I got it used from a nother guy in Kentucky that desided it was to much for what he wanted. so I got it cheeper.

and.. I got maya becouse its the best, in my opinion. I wanted to really inprove my sence of space in my art and 3d is the way to do it I figered. I take my art a little more seriousy than my spelling !!
