Organic Modeling - Surfing with the Alien

Learn character modeling from Jason Edwards, Senior Modeler at Framestore. In these 16 chapters you'll see how to create humanoid characters in Maya. We start from a simple sketch and block out our character, adding more geometry as we go. By the end of this tutorial you'll have the skills to build your own biped characters in Maya.
