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.

Since the admins only allow about 640X480, Its also useful for posting extra big pics. Pretty useful user added image
for UV mapping see Maya help (I'm not a big expert myself)
Keep it up!

looks pretty good, man - but it's very hard to tell on a black background. Go to your current camera and change the environment color to a greyish color or something and that will help out I think.

nice turnaround user added image

Going well

One thing i noticed is that the fingernail on thumb is pointing forwards. It's supposed to point about 45 degrees upwards...
Also, have you used smooth for the high poly version?

Yeah I used smooth, as well as insert edge ring, the sculpt polygon tools, merge vertices, collapse edge, the whole gambit. it's poly count is just under 3910.

Really 45 degrees upward? My thumb points either forward or maybe 20-30 degrees downward when I'm at rest. Could you post a picture of what you mean?

The lighting in these samples is pretty wierd, this is what it actually looks like.

And here is how it initially fits into the armor. It is a heavily gloved hand, and I havent plated it with armor yet, so that's why It looks bare right now.

I kno the arms aren't in proportion, I was going to fix that by scaling up everything else.

Yeah, I know what you mean, but I got bored with just mechanical motion though. I had done that in strata for a month and got really sick of it. The armor has had about an hours work on it thus far, and it needs some more. The hand is good though, so, all in all, things could be worse.
