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.

It's looking really cool, will have to get sculpting again as maya has taken over for the past few months, and save a lot of money up...lol!

How longs a peice of string???

Depends if you get up and running with the interface or end up trying to fight it. If you have a tablet its a lot easier and if you build your meshes in maya then import you can use it pretty quickly though learning all its in's and outs will take time.

Yeah, but quite a few bits will be included in 3.5 thankfully, Zspheres 2, GoZ, other bits, and some other key feature that is yet to be announced!

Is going to be SO GOOD!

Really can't wait, hope it's soon, there's only so many times a day I can keep checking to see if it's been released yet....lol!
