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.

Its worthy what comes in the CD? i was looking at it yesterday (last number, reserved for another guy) and only saw a photo and a tiny "we used fluid effects" paragraph... not much written explanation on the tut...
(i can have another in two days, but the lack of written tutorial and it costing 13€... before i must know if its worthy...)

Yes I think it is worthy on the cd this month is 3 fluid effects vids
+ 2 others I havent looked at yet. You also get some royalty free textures and models alot. Last month there were about 50 textures. And sometimes you get free programs.

Like truespace 3.
Poser 3
worldbuilder.

ley may be older but worth playing with.

Another mag that is ok is Digit.
last month it came with particalillusion2.

Why would you need it to be written as well if it's all in video?


Yeah, but no but yeah but no....

It's a rather good video actually. I am planning to have a go at it as it seemed easy to follow. The probably don't write much about it in the magazine as they want the space for things not on the cds. It has some interesting articles and things most months, I have been buying it for a few issues now. I find the textures they often give away very useful too.
