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.

July/Aug - Noob - djon

My combination is "Dominant Banking"

The first idea that came to mind is a bankrobber pointing a gun at the lady behind the counter in a bank.. :bandit:

This will be my first challenge. I'm Not sure if I can find the time to finish this in time but I can always try right!?


The trouble with doing something right the first time, is nobody appreciates how difficult it was.

created this quickly with Catia V5 (and PS) to give you an idea of how it will look like

I've already been working on the counter and the thief.
will show the results when I'm back home.

can anyone tell me what lights/textures you can use to show a quick render?

Looking good djon - I just might try to define the sides of the robber's nose a little better - at the moment his nose sort of blends into the rest of his face.

Good luck in the challenge! user added image

then again, if the bank robber's french then you can just leave the sides of the nose alone and give him a beret, a striped shirt, and a cigarette at the end of one of those really long pole thingies... user added image


Accept no substitutions.
