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.

May/June - Norm - CKYUK

For this i think i'm going to model a Colo Claw fish. It's the one in starwars episode one that has the luminescent skin. It's a bit late for me to start tonight so i'll get some screenshots up in the morning.

Good luck to everyone who's entering and i'm hoping to see some realy good entries. user added image

I'm not too happy with the way the head is shaping up as it looks like he's got a smile on his face. But atleast he's starting to take shape.

welded the verts down the centre, modelled the spikes into his back and done a fair bit of reshaping to the body and head.

I'd like to see the squid. The other is nice modelt but its a weird model, but that's probably because I haven't seen that starwarsmovie.

This morning i really have started modelling it and i think i might go with a cartoon style. Although knowing me i'll probably revert back to the realistic one.

And the award for most indecisive person ever goes to...

Hehe, make them all user added image

Great to see you've got loads of ideas, personally I think the seahorse would be the best model. Quite funny seeing what else you're coming up with though user added image
