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.

The Warthog Texas marquee

My studio is based in an old renovated theatre, and to make things cooler, we still have the old timey marquee! So, every couple months, we try to put something funny or clever up there.

I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area, and you multiply, and multiply, until every natural resource is consumed. The only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet, you are a plague, and we are the cure.

The boss doesn't want to advertise up there. user added image He doesn't even want to put "Warthog Texas" on there, so I don't think he'd go for more personal ad space. user added image

I'm not sure he'll go for such 3D-oriented tags... more of a "general public" humor. user added image But we'll see for next time. user added image

Haha, I also just watched the Animatic for Conquest. Haha, The sound is classic. That must have been fun to do. Having someone do the beep is funy as hell.

Heh, yeah, it's pretty funny. Afraid I wasn't working here at that time, unfortunately.
