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.

I shall be using the 'Monster in the kitchen' sound clip.
It sounds simple but funny.

Thanks people, I hope to get this one finished this month.

Mike did mention that he might extend the deadline to two months because the WAV file was in the wrong format.

Anyway, here is the monsters head. I'm trying not to get too detailed with the models as that isn't what this challenge is about.

Looks cool.

Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Yeah, doesn't seem like it would be able to use enough animation though as the monster appears to be "stuck" in the room and the woman's facial animation would be hard to see!

I just saw Shrek 2. Wow! I'm very impressed.

Anyway, here is my monsters body. It is very rough and not rigged yet. Next I need to model the woman.

Setting the scene

I have created a very simple kitchen with a door, window, fridge and a work surface. The kitchen sink may follow if the monster doesn't get in the way too much.

The womans face is good enough for simple lipsyncing and the body will stay as it is unless I find more time.
