Introduction to Maya - Modeling Fundamentals Vol 1
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.

If you have Maya 2015, you could use Bifrost.

Regarding the shader, it looks way too translucent to me.


Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Really like this. I've been following from the start and wasnt sure how it would turn out but I think you've done a great job.

Thanks,
I was wondering how to get air bubbles in the liquid like the example below - the only thought was to model them to the zbrush splash and then paint a transparency map for the Maya shader. Any suggestions?

Might try a similar version with other fruit also.

Have a good weekend

you could do that.. as its an illustration, those bubbles just look like holes so you could just do a zb boolean/cutout and ya good to go but dupe the bubbles and leave them in the holes to get some spec hilite...
