Hi Guys,

I thought I would share some of the work my 6 year old son has done over the course of 2005 till now. He started using Maya when he was 5 and he is 6 now.

Cheers
Paul

Hi guys,

I just showed him your posts and he loved it. His reply was "I'm not a master, I only know how to use polygons and I don't even know how to texture".

Cheers
Paul

Thanks for the feedback guys, he is loving it.

What's interesting is how kids will give anything a go. I can't believe he can use the 3 button mouse and alt key at the same time, Shift and Ctrl select face and vertices etc

Cheers
Paul

Its pretty cool. My wife limits his time on it because at first it was almost impossible to get him off Maya. Now he is allow a couple of hours per week and he seems to have accepted that.

I've told him for his next project I will let him start a WIP thread on this board under my User Name user added image

He wants to make a Messerschmitt . . don't expect it to be scale :p

Cheers
