and when you think something is good enough to post, a big mistake jumps into the eye user added image

the tendom on the biceps was a bit off. so here is a close up with the fixed tendom.

thanks for the nice feedback. update. started to construct the hand. it is right now 2 nurbs planes (top and down of palm). but i had a little problem between the fingers - they are right now duplicated isoparms, that got lofted, and then out of the loft i duplicated isoparms, chaped them. and than i birailed them. and the history of maya is the next best thing to sliced bread :banana: - as it leaves the birails in place as long as i change the other patches user added image

suggestions, comments are greatly appreciated user added image

I wish my bicep looked like that. I could go without the horns though! LOL

My best ideas come to me while in bed!

nurbs is tedious. i think i go back to poly. started with a face today. in polys. it is seamless, and there is only 2 exceptions to quad and 4 edged verts. and in picture you see both low poly and smooth. the red and blue is original low poly version.

wow that red and blue man - its really psychadelic...cant look at it for too long user added image

Those horns look spot on. But Im like you - find nurbs monotonous...Do you create ur poly models from a primitive shape or do u use a poly mesh? Anyway from what I see its looking good so far. Nice work mate

I know its not for the final object mate - i was kidding user added image

Ahh planes...of course - i was wondering how u kept it so clean. I tend to use poly mesh alot myself - obviously with the extrude and split polygon tools and merge vertices tools, but it can be a struggle to keep a clean wireframe.

Thanks Babyduck

yucc, polys dont want to work - redid the head today in nurbs. that is much more natural to organic modeling. and i think instead of making the area around eyes within the head surface, i will just trim out the eye lines - and fillet blend the eyesockets into the face the same way the horns will be connected (not yet as i will trim only when everything else is working ...

thanks
