Nice choice Matt. The fur will be challenging. Should be a fun model. user added image

Aight, so I chose NURBS over polys. But, hey, I have 2 months, so if I dont like how my NURBS model is going, I'll just redo it in Polys.

Of course, I will multi patch model it, its the only way to do this.

Here is the basic spline layout

good luck.

Aight, so I started, a very basic start of my dog. So far the modeling is done in subdivisions in 3ds Max, but very soon I will bring it into Maya.

I just did this because I hate Maya's subdivision UI. I much prefer max's
