Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

.....Got to the projection master stage where you start adding fine surface details and zbrush crashed and corrupted the only save file I made :headbang:

Well at least I get to start things all over again and fix things I wasn't happy with like where the horns meet to head

Small update really, but having done the whole zbrush part again from the exported file from maya it seems much different.

I changed the way the horns enter the head and I think that really helps the image a lot, also I have started detailing around the mouth now and I am getting ready to add some teeth there.
