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.

Lol, sure looks evil user added image

....... ........ .......

Anyways, i love the model so far, it really looks nice user added image

. Just he does remind me of some kinda powerranger with horns. I would like to see what you end up doing to this man user added image

, so far the model is great, just doesnt have that "evil" look to him... thats not the real challenge though, so this would definately be in the "hell" category, just not in the "evil hell" category user added image

. Keep it up.

Looking good! One question, when you attached his body together did you keep him as nurbs or did you convert to polys? Thanks. Looking forward to more pics.

cheers guys,

vectorman - I def need more detail but that is where I get stuck - adding detail to the body - I find it really hard to progress past this point user added image

contrast - the main chest/abdomen area was nurbs - arm was nurbs - think leg was polys - head was polys - converted thorax and arm to polys and then combined and merged verts. Took a bit of tweaking after that to smooth it out.

el_newty, kev, witchy - cheers. before you say anything - no I haven't got a faecal fetish

cheers
