Introduction to Maya - Modeling Fundamentals Vol 1
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.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
*runs down the street naked shouting "EURIKA!"*

*cough* ahem... perhaps a bit too dramatic...

i get it now, i thought there was a gap between the two glass panes for some reason and so the dooors swung out!




that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"

Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D

er... sorry, but where do the glass doors slide to?

also, showers are not usually level with the floor - they normally have a step or an area you step into.

i don't think a critique should be just about modeling or lighting - it also has to be about whether the picture makes sense.

True, true. I believe Technical knowledge, aesthetics, and believability are all important indeed.user added image

yes .. i tried it and i tried also the fryrender engine they are all perfect for rendering archeticture frames and you can also get the advantage of the physicaly based engine of them BUT they are really expensive in render time to obtain a good quality frame with zero grains you would w8 a 12 hours or more.

That was an extremely nice render. Your lighting is very life-like and your models are really well done. The only thing that is a bit eye catching to me that while this is a bathroom, its almost as if its not a bathroom. It seems naked without towels and such to make up its extras that makes a bathroom a bathroom.

I hope that makes sense....user added image
