I've been working on this feet and I need some critique. Right now to me it looks "ok", but I'm sure I'm not seeing something like a lot of you guys can see that are wrong or missing. So Please critique.
Introduction to Maya - Modeling Fundamentals Vol 2
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.

). looking at toe lengths they seem accurate, and looking at the wireframe i don't see any problems with topology. why don't you smooth it out just for us and make us feel privy?

Feet vary alot, believe me, as I've had some strange responses to my models of feet but the one thing that needs doing right now is as NeoStrider said curl the toes inwards. Doing this will also reduce the space between each toe, which Redmer has pointed out too
Again, the amount of curling will depend on the references you have, I used my wifes as reference, she has pretty straight toes compared to alot of others Ive seen, but the little toe is the one that curls mostly.
Cheers

I wasnt going to add anything other than what already was said.
So better to remain silent on a topic and be thought of as a fool than open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Anyhow, I widened the toes, curled the small ones, curled the small one a lot, added toe nails. I'll take a shot of the low poly too, it looks really wierd. I'm not sure how to make it look nice w/out all the extra loops. And aside from the toes, anything I can do with the feet itself and the ankle upwards?

I'm not really working on it right now until I'm satisfied with the feet, but I wouldn't mind critiques on it also for future references.
I'lll be working on the hands next. After I attach them, I'll put some work into the arms and legs etc. I'm still trying to learn the anatomies soooo critiques are really appreciated.
