This is the first model I have done in Maya after completing the cartoon dog tutorial on this site. Its going to end up being a mexican duck, so still got sombrero, poncho etc to do, but the duck is pretty complete.

Modelled firstly using nurbs, then onto polys, and finally subd's to tweak.

Comments and crits welcome!

But no wings? Will be very easy to animate too.

Glad ya like it!! I dont know where the idea came from, just thought to model a mexican duck one day. My aim is to end up animating him in a wild western type scene.

On with modelling the guns, holsters, poncho, and sombrero now user added image

i'm getting the dog tutorial right now as we speak... hopefully i'll have the same outcome as yours... i tried to make a duck one time and couldnt get his beak down.. but it looks to me like you got it quite nicely

Yeah I totally agree, the beak was the worst part to model, it took a fair bit of tweaking until I was finally happy with it.

I hope you find the dog tutorial as useful as I did! I found the instructions extremely clear from start to finish and could always follow what they were doing.
