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.

so glad to be back modeling:)

Hey guys I miss you all!..I just finished my last semester and hopefully I am graduating .
now at least I dont need to deal anymore with history math etcc...all the things i dont care about.
I already feel rusty with maya , but i decided am going to dedicate my next few weeks and patch model a head of brando.
I checked some of your work and I must say you all got so much better!! ......hope to hear from you
kisses
Anita

Hey Anita
I'm not one for patch modelling but this is looking promising. Dont forget to keep those spans low as possible. Look forward to the rest

as usual the image references are screwy ..uhh sorry i felt something was wrong with the head.I had already brought the eyes closer since u notice that the only profile i have of him is far from perfect.so i am using deformers now to bring the ear closer as weel instead of redoing the curves..

I have not complicated myself with a lot of curves at the begining just the basics...I tried using the birail to get surfaces but it droves me nuts coz i think the curves have to be touching instead i used boundary ..much better

the neck was also tilted forward which made him look more like creature..any coments from u guys would be great later on.

One good thing that happened today ..I almost thought it was my graphics sard that went bad
coz everytime i rendered with maya i had some kind of like a rainbow effect on my surface ..well if any of u ever had or have this problemm...i found the solution! its a stupid thing ..for some reason my pc image resolution went down from 32 bit to 16..so that was it i put it back to 32! ..duuhhhh
