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.

Some Guy- March/April

I have been thinking about ideas and i'm gonna do a charachter (Possible in a vehicle if time allows). He'll be a miner/digger sort of theme and he'll be either holding a massive flame thrower or a big drill. Here is my first quick concept.

Hey
I did it really quickly and i am crap with proportions. This is just to get a feel for what it'll look like. I want it to be short. I'm taking a bit of inspiration from the Warhammer miniatures and, as bad as it makes me feel, from the disney (Shudders) film Atlantis.

Hi all,
I am keeping this model low poly like mike suggested. I am starting by making a basic concept 3d model just to get a feel for what the final will be like. Ive made the head in a bout an hour.
