Introduction to Maya - Modeling Fundamentals Vol 1
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.

Just Cool

Hey Guys
Saw this link elsewhere and thought everyone should take a look, its not Maya but the 3d itself is simple but outstanding in everyway. It has a full behind the scenes section on the site. Shows what can be achieved when you really want to do something

Really cool. Just by looking at the behind the scenes pictures, looks like it too along time to make. Any ideas on what software they used to make it?

Poser and Daz Studio (free download too) would you believe. Shows what can be done outside the main software packages

reminds me a little of a site myself and a few people did nearly 5 years ago. It's all 2D (flash 4) and is surprisingly still up and running user added image

Ahh Man those kids were awsome. Excellent facial animation. The attention to detail in the nuances was just spot on.

Thanks for the link

Jay
