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.

thanx a bunch traveler, i'd appreciate more critisim like comments, but cheering me on is always nice to hear. I've been working on a big tent pictured near the bottom of the concept, but decided to wait to show yall till i've painted the texture.
