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.

Medival Ages - chan_345

This will be my first comp, and since this is medival stuff, i decided to model some weapons from that era. the first is gonna be a sword.

If it can't be fixed with duct tape and a hammer, it isn't worth being fixed... Unless it's my computer.

here is a pic of the guard, it's simple for now but i plan on adding a lot of detail to it later after i finish the basic model of the whole sword.

Here's a pic of the finished model. If your wondering about the times in between posts, they're so short because i went on a modeling frenzy and forgot to take pics of the progress. user added image

good work chan and nice drawing descriptions to give us more to look forward to. Are you going to include a character?
