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.

user added image you can call me a lazy mofo, but I find it so commodious that when someone asks you something your explanations are very detailed and peppered with screenshots, hehe!

keep up the good work, and explanations of course mate!



EDIT: in my opinion the former version fits better. you don´t like to model the ears right?


everything starts and ends in the right place at the right time.

Falott,

The reason I explain things in detail regarding maya, is because i've been there ( how dio I do that?) and i've done a shit load of research in books, websites, and help files (F1). So I know how frustrating it can be learning maya.

P.S. i'm still learning touser added image

don´t give up on the ear! it isn´t such hard thing. this was my first ear. well geometry is crappy but the result was fine for me. I used the createPolygonTool to paint the outer lines - defined the mayor lines then and finally pulled them out. modeling an ear is not as hard as everybody says.
