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.

Hi mates,
Sorry for the delay, but I was not certain on what kind of scene to make...
Now everything is OK, I've got the idea and tomorrow I will post the first screen shot.
The subject I chose is a scene that mixes Mayan & Aztec civilization architecture.
Yeah, of course they are only influences in the scene because the concept is not a real one, you can’t find this place on Earth user added image
Cheers

ok now i get it...but just a thought, if you look on that ref pic from cracker, you could see the door (hallway or whatever) that its much smaller than yours...are you really planning on making it gigantic?

anyway, great work on the first and 2nd building...keep'em coming! user added image

As I said before, I don't intend to make a copy after Mayan temples or something like this.
Read carefully what I wrote above user added image

Actually , I climbed to the top of a pyramid in Chitzanitza, and it was VERY steep, and the steps were about 1.5' high. That looks cool!
