Tutorial Overview

Learn how to make large quadrupeds in Maya with this project. Here we look at modeling a hippo using a NURBS and polygons workflow. To add the finer details we convert to subdivisions. We end with a fully quaded model that can be rigged and animated. The tutorial continues with UV layout and texture painting. We paint color, bump and spec maps in Photoshop. By the end of this project you'll have the skills to build similar size quadrupeds in Maya.
