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.

Ah Monkey Island. The Legend. And Full Throttle. Did you see Lucas Arts showing the sequels to Sam and Max and Full Throttle off at E3? Nostalgia trippin!

Looking good!

The games are still selling as far as I know- there are patches to make them run on modern systems. There certainly is for Grim Fandango. A google search turns up information on most of them.

Anyway, on the nostalgia trip I chose Sam and Max (making Sam have no time to try both)- originally from Sam and Max Hit the Road. Self styled Private Detectives, Sam (as in Sam Spade) is a dog and Max is an insane rabbit who likes to jump up and down on suspectsa dn throw heavy things from windows at passing elderly ladies. In between causing general havoc and mayhem they attempt to solve some very odd crimes. This is what is known to nostalgia fans as a 'point and click adventure' and yes it came out a long time after Pong .user added image

Couple of progress shots; the first shows Sam and Max from the original game art in the background and Sam's head WIP in foreground.

Lastly this is what it looked like on screen. The humour in these games is pretty off the wall . There is a new game, Sam and Max, Freelance Police coming shortly, in 3D but from what I have seen of it it keeps the weirdness and classiness of the original which is great.

Wow- that head is dead on!

Maybe this will inspire someone to develop a 3d x-box incarnation of the game.... in which case I think you are intitled to some major royalties my friend! user added image

Thanks, but Sam and Max are already on their way to 3D as I mentioned above user added image Not sure if it will be multi platform though and it's released later this year or early 2004 IIRC.

Heh...you just reminded me. There's an easter egg in Lucasarts Jedi Knight game where you wait for this woman to open a door and inside the room is none other than Max the Psycho Bunny. If you prod Max outside for a bit (if yer lucky), he'll blast away some bad guys if he gets shot at. It's pretty funny (not so funny if you accidentally shoot max though....user added image

That looks great! Love the face and the overall shape is just 'right'.

Happy anniversary though (if my wife is anything to go by I am surprised you still have hands to type LOL).
