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.

Got my new copy of MB 09 thorugh with maya 09, not installed it as yet as it might conflict with the mocap suit that we've got, what with the plug in's etc as there were some issues with extention 2 of motionbuilder 7.5 and it.
I'll install it and and have a look probably the start of next week.

Just added a head/torso and started to position it about to get a feel, looking forward to the sculpting part.

Base mesh look nice and clean... Should be a blast to sculpt!
Have fun!

Looking forward to it myself! Just preping a few more parts in maya. Just so I can get a basic overview of the character and see how its all fitting then I'll start the sculpt. Though the temptations there now to just dive in with the o'l tablet!
Trying to monitor myself on this as I dont really have much time on my hands to do it, so I dont want to go over work again.
Cheers
Steve

The hands look a tad small, probably will beef them up a bit when it comes to the sculpt

Really looking forward to seeing how this turns out, surprisingly there's not that much of this type of work out there.

Yeah just working on the head/neck mainly at the moment, I'll switch to the body soon though to get overall proportions.
Yeah when I started to gather reference I was surprised myself that there wasn't more.
