Tutorial Overview

Learn to create a cartoon character using NURBS in Maya. This is a good beginner project as the geometry is relatively simple. After blocking out the main shapes in NURBS we convert to polygons before adding facial features. You'll learn how to create hair, beard and boots, in addition to the main body and head. We also look at UV layout and painting the textures for our Santa. At the end of this project you'll have the skills to make your own simple cartoon characters in Maya.
