Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Use Zbrush for details,your modelling is great.
Zbrush is very powerful for detailing modeles.Maya for some reason,hates displacement,so down your image.

I again had fun with the engine of render Maxwell. And I made another render to see the defects and there much has. I would try to make the hands today. As regards the details of the body, it is on Zbrush which I will try to do that even if I ever used this software.

Turn Around

Thank you very much for all your comments ^^
I learn with some tutorials how to use Zbrush and it's an amazing software but i have a big problem today... I have Zbrush which however doesn't stop to crash I made so that my model is only made with quads however I have impression that all this crashes come from it.

I, on the other hand, have a good news. I have just placed the order for a graphics tablet Wacom Intuos 3 A4. I hope to receive it rather quickly. :attn:

Besides that, if ever the rules of the contest were to change to make only models in low poly or so quite simply I would have time then I would like to make the "famous" character from the game Rick Dangerous 2 which was for me one of my favorite game with the 1.

Very nice modeling, cant wait to see the finished version. Are you going to include an small enviorment for it, even though the rules don't specify?

I finally had a little bit of time to work on my model. I thus began the hand which at the base was of human form and I started to format it a little in the shape of beast. In progress ...

THX1138 : Indeed I will incorporate it in a small environment but I am currently always in the search of a good ideauser added image
