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.

Yeah, know what you mean. Would take decades for me too.

Cheers for the comments people!

I will be having a go at texturing all this once the modelling is done, and I have had the same thoughts on the UV mapping, so am trying not thinking about it too much at the moment.....lol

and Chirone, yep, it is a Seagate one, in black, not the silver.

Had a break from it over the weekend, have got another project piece I want to do some work on tomorrow, but will probably get some more done to this too hopefully.

I used to work like that but then every time I got to it I lost interest and want to model something else. What I do now is model and UV then carry on and then paint the textures, just to keep the interest up.

Failing that having a second project on the go also really helps.

Yeah, you make a good point Tweety! I would do that usually I think, I have done it that way with the last couple of projects I've done. Just decided to try leaving it this time, hopefully I won't regret it! lol

Luckily I have several projects on the go at once at the moment, so shouldn't get bored, or have time to really!

Unfortunately I'm going to have to put this project on hold, typical of me I decided in the middle of modelling my room, to move rooms to another! lol!

So I will have to remodel the room part of it once I've got myself settled. More measuring to be done....yay......lol
