Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

do you think the ears should be more 'droopy'? because dogs ears are only that stiff when there alert.
is that photo a shibi inu?

I'm glad the picture helped, not sure what kind of dog it is, I just googled "dog ears" and picked a picture that best suited what I was trying to explain.

I'm not too sure what it is about the bottom of his mouth, the only thing I can think may be making it look wrong is that if you were to close his mouth, his whole jaw would be too small to match up with his snout, leaving a large gap around it.
Maybe scaling the bottom half of his jaw out a bit, and very slightly squaring it off (not so it's square, just so it's not a curve, a bit like what you did with the inner ear)

Hope that help in some way and you work it out!

Ive been working mostly on the foot, still need to do the upper toe, i think now looking at it the leg is far too thick (been looking at shaven dogs and its suprosing how much fur there is on there legs...)

can't suggest anything about the paws but his eyes are very... forward placed?

trying to say that the eye sockets should be placed more of an angle on its head rather than making it look like it's got a flat face




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
