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.

you should reinact a scene from one of the mgs using kirbys!

kirby snake attacking a giant kirby metal gear!

your second snake looks more disgusted than angry
"what the heck is that ugly thing??" :p

ninja kirby has the best non-happy expression

maybe you can give him a smirk




that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"

Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D

looks great man i love the toon shader, i think kirby would look weird with hair, but you should still try it and see the result

This is progressing pretty well user added image
Just a few little critics:
- Anti aliasing could be a bit better...
- The hands colliding with the objects don't look right. Why don't you push the geometry in so it looks like he's holding the object?
- There are some parts where the border edges don't show because of other objects(where his cheeks and legs are. Is that the toon shader? Don't know what you can do about it though...

(The umbrella Kirby could look cool...)

When in doubt, delete history and freeze transformations.

Im well aware of the first two, these are just previews, and they're not rigged properly, so they will be re posed

theres nothing i can do about the edges, its toon outline, if anyone does no a way to sort it id be v grateful (and is there a way to render toon outlines with mental-ray?

i cant find any pictures of umbrella Kirby, whats does he/she look like?

thanks for the crits...
