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.

Char's Zaku

I started modeling this a while ago. I started on the forearms. I'll add a few details later.

Blocked out the foot. And, yes it's supposed to be that small. Zakus are really cheap, so not much thought goes into manufacturing them.

hmmm...

I think the height of the foot needs to be longer and the width of the connector where the foot attaches to the shin needs to be wider.

I have a tip for you:

If an object consists of several parts in real life - model these parts separately also in 3D

Thanx for the crits.
@DJBlazer- The parts I'm modeling are on seperate layers so they don't get cludered everywhere.


This is what I'm going for except with way more details of course. Don't know who the guy on the picture is though.
