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.

Papalati - March/April

Alright I'll give the challenge system another chance. Only because Mike's the man. :bow:


Alright, this is just part A of my concept, part B is coming and should be up tomorrow.

This is still going to go through some changes. I just havent decided what limb to lop off. user added image

Alright I think young train engineer look maybe mid 1860's alright.

Like I said before the fantastical/scifi is really coming in part B.

Stay Tuned!

Okay here is my "Steam" concept Part B....

Its a steam-based mech. Made of pure Iron Ore.

So there will be rust of some kind, I think....

Alright.... Time to take a break.... I hate concepting.

Hi nice concepts, WELCOME TO THE CHALLENGE!

you do realise that there is no UV mapping , texturing of any kind allowed in this first part of the challenge ?

cool robot! I'd recommend working on the robot first, and then if you have time, the guy.

looking cool papa - especially like the eyes and the green things on his back - are you going to keep it fairly low poly?

Cool robot! For low poly, looks pretty darn good.
Don't be satisfied with what you can do but rather strive to do the things you can't do!
Exceed Expectations!
