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.

Exactly that! Send us a render once you have fixed these issues. Right now, you have my vote for the best model!

Cant wait to see M. Mino with arms and armor!

I think the dark-to-light texture on the horns looks much better. Very good. I can't wait to see more of the armor, too..

For the plate armor, my suggestion is to go with just a breastplate on the front with straps attached to it that goes down in the back in a X patern. But if you do this, you would have to forget the shoulder plates, but I think it would worth it.

The thing I like the most about this model is the texture of the skin so the more you show it (with the tatooes) the better it is IMHO. Still, the poor mino need some armor to protect himself againts the evil adventurers...

edit: Btw, do you ever sleep?

cheers chicken - I need to dirty up the leather a bit but it's abase

dragon - yeah I unwrap the whole body included - export to photoshop - create the colour and bump using gradients and a couple of filters (noise and texturizer:canvas) then create the shading network see below

Look very cool, but it would be even cooler if u put blood marks on the armour and the nail things on the wrist band.

ok, i like pretty much everything...except the wrist band, the spikes could be done a lot better. I know you have the modeling skill to make it happen too. it just seems like it could have a cooler design..
