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.

Rusty...
I haven't touched maya in over a year and i wasn't the best in the first place but since i've been back i've been getting this urge to start something again. So last night i drew a very simple creature that shouldn't be too hard to model but still look good when its done. The sketch of this guy is attatched below. He won't have a mouth so that weird check in the front view by where his mouth could possibly be, won't be there... as of now :p

not much yet, just the general shape, now i have to think of how i want this to all merge together
.. should it have lips, or just kinda have parts stitch into the bean body.. hmm. haha, this is such a stupid model
.By the way, the head is to the right of that image... so that little dot is its eye (apparently my brother didn't see that at all)

. Im slowly working on it, seeing im at school all day and then I usually have heaps of homework after that, then sports. haha, this could be some kinda little guy off of mario hey? Anyways, hopefully i can make this thing work. If you want simple models, just start out with simple shapes (like beans.. like i chose..lol) and work on that.. it gives you a simple model. Gotta go Matt

Wow talk about minimum updates hey? I've been swamped with physics and calculus homework primarily.. and rugby
. So not a ton of time to be working on this model. Anyways today I had a bit of time to play around.. its getting late here though so im about to head off to bed, get some sleep . I know its just a screenshot, i'll have a render soon 
. Still needs lots of tweaking and textures.Once again, what a stupid model.. hahaha

Okay i had some more time tonight as of midnight on to work on this model
. As much as it doesn't look all that much better, probably worse than the previous image... its now officially all one piece, lower polys and its got a total UV map with this horrible texture (for now ). One thing (which is a big thing) that i forgot to do, is put the checkerboard grid on and make sure all of my points aren't too stretched out. This guy isn't that detailed though, so hopefully i can get away with a few stretches here and there if i texture it properly in photoshop . C&C welcome!
