This course will look in the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. It's aimed at people that have some modeling experience in Maya but are having trouble with complex objects.

nope user added image I thought it better to totally immerse myself in max for the year of the course as unfortunately they dont use maya.
At the end of the year I might dust off maya and get back into it as the interface is nicer than max - although max's modelling tools are rather nice to use.

The challenge forum looks good however and if there's time I'll be in the simplymax forum competing against you maya guys user added image

hey it was looking great, really!!!!

and, honestly, I dont think it's right to banish you to the Max forum... it's dead. I post all my work (no matter what software) here. Oh well, sorry about the situation. Max is alright I guess, well I like it more than Maya anyway, good luck with the course!!

t1ck135, don't give into Max, that leads to the dark side...and alone over there will you be. If you leave now, help yourself it could, but you would have destroyed all for which you have fought and suffered.

LOL, here will you post all of your work. :nod:

yeah, definately keep posting here mate and get yourself in on the challenge - seeing as the winner gets his entry made into a statue it would be really cool to do your next roman head as your entry, unless you have some other ideas of course.

with the other simply sites being so quiet, I half wonder if it would not be better to just merge everything into one site - we could always keep specific threads for each application, but it would be cool and beneficial to see how people use other programs, as long as we could keep the maya vs max threads down to a minimum!

Anyway, sorry to stray off topic. Lets see a max update! user added image

It would awsome to see your Roman head as a statue. You should really consider entering the challenge while it still early.
