DT - Female Andriod: Alexia

Mirek03 got me thinking about subd modeling in Maya again.

I had worked on this model some time ago but never finsihed it. I was new to Maya and subd tools in Maya kinda suck. I dusted off the cd's last night, ordered out for pizza and went on an orgy of modeling!

Here are some renders of the bits I completed. I will start on the head soon.

assembled and adjusted body parts

I assembled and scaled the body parts. I adjusted the following:

- thinned and lengthened upper arm
- thinned upper thigh
- thinned abdommen in xz
- scaled hips xyz

Overall the proportions seem correct to me now. Please let me know if anything jumps out at you.

Alexia: Model B

I was not pleased with the hipjoint. A simple nurbs cyclinder seemed to simple and would present problems for rigging, so I improved the design to a ball joint while maintaining the inorganic feel.

It also looks more femanin the the bulky tube stuffed in a hole.

What do you think?

UPDATE: 5/1/07

HAHA I just noticed her feet are reversed in this shot....
