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.

Aright PAPA, i'd be happy to help, but you gotta post something, or send me somthing so i can see how to help you. Also heres a few things i'm curious about. Aren't you going to use that explosion i made frame by frame?? Kinda waste if not, the other thing is do you want me to resize all the sprites, now that i see how big they are in game? Also, about the 1 pixel high laser, hehe it needs to be tweaked in a few ways = )

Haven't gotten any inspiration for the style of pickups, maybe i should go play some space shooters....

Do you guys know how to do something like this or is it really hard?
I tried making an explosion in Maya, using a particle emmitter, and, well, it didn't turn out too well... I got close, but no cigar.

I have a tutorial on how to make GREAT explosions in the VIP sectionuser added image

Check out my demo video at the bottom of the download page for ituser added image
