Introduction to Maya - Modeling Fundamentals Vol 1
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.

Glass Shapes

I'm gonna model some glass shapes since I could use the practice anyway. I started with this cube-looking shape. The vertexes were tricky because I forgot to merge them a lot.
Can't think of any other weird shapes to do, so I'll take requests.

That's exacly those kind of shapes that can be modeled mathematically... there are several programs for that.. and I'm sure there are a lot of scripts/plugins for Maya aswell.

@DJBlazer- Yeah, unfortunately I didn't notice until I manually modeled the shapes haha.
Here's a long overdue update.
