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.

Very interesting project Kurt, and it's great to see you're still part of the SimplyMaya community user added image. Your sculpting skills are impressive as ever. I bet it's really cool to see your art go from computer to real life. Look forward to seeing more


Don't be satisfied with what you can do but rather strive to do the things you can't do!

Ya its pretty cool to hold things i design on screen in my hand.

This is my first print on my own Form2 printer, just letting it sit for a bit before the clean up starts. So stoked about being able to work on her. I'll prime her up soon and all the detail will pop. She will be 8 inches tall once put together.

Great work kurt! It's surreal to actually see a physical model from the cg work. This makes me want to get back into maya. I haven't touched it in several years. I have some old models that would be cool to see printed. I remember an old member here years ago won a SM challenge, aaron I believe it was, had his model 3D printed.

I don't touch Maya much anymore mostly for posing with a quick skeleton rig.

Illustration for the 3d print almost done.

Hello, Kurt

Nice to see you again! Awesome work as always! What is your 3D printer?
I have a Makerbot mini, i would love if you share your models in the thingiverse so i can print them out and paint them!

Good job!

Hi Coldwave,

The printer I have is a FormLabs form2 printer.

I might put some small things up on thingyverse in the future but most of my time is getting all the prototypes done to open my shops.
