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.

good idea. try not to make the doc oc arms and claws like they are in the movie. try and make them different.

I'm not a geek. I'm a nerd.

an anime mech, in my opinion, is a robotron, humanoid mech. This should be fine.

maybe u can make the feet a bit more rugged. It's like it walks on knobbed shoes like a footbal player. user added image

Maybe you can get some inspiration from Star Wars its ATPT walker (follow this link).
The walker's legs and feet are well designed for this kinda model.
