This course will look in the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. It's aimed at people that have some modeling experience in Maya but are having trouble with complex objects.

Mar/Apr - Noob - Guitar Player

This is the first time I ever visited this forum, and it has captured my interest. I will participate in this contest under the Mods' approval user added image


So ok, Im thinking about a Guitar-Playing Robot design.

Sort of a really bulky looking guitar holder which also has arms that extend to wrap around the instrument and play it. A third arm with only 2 fingers (the other two are hand-like) will be used to tune the guitar dynamically.

The plans are to animate and have sound and all to this model.

I am doing this project in free time in school, so progress may be uneven.

Question; do we submit the model or a set of graphics to this contest?


Woo!

Heres the concept sketch:

I labeled it "Erotic Guitar" because of the way the hands look while theyre playing the guitar:o

Oh well, schools over for the weekend, I'll do more work over the weekend in concepts... *sigh... user added image I wish I owned more than just the PLE of Maya 6.
