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.

Refined clay. Pretty much time to start splitting panels off!

the models realy looking good MrR

I like the unusual shape of it, have you made the headlights so they can rotate up or are they going to stay shut?

keep posting the updates.

As I don't do this for a real job and I'm away on business at the moment, there'll be a bit of a delay to the next update.

Headlights will stay where they are for now. Once I get the thing looking semi finished, I'll start adding details like rotating headlights etc. It'll depend on how quickly I get bored with the model. Will try to stick with it!

I hope you don't get bored... I'm really liking the way it's going. It's strange how I've never really been interested in cars, till I started learning Maya. I really like 3D modelled cars, they look really smart. Hope to get to work on one myself pretty soon.

Keep up the good work.

good work Mr R. user added image

looking forward to seeing some more progress on this. It would be cool if you could model some of those cool interior details as well.
