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.

Seems like a lot of work for 2 weeks. I've only done two characters, the basic human form tutorial by Kurt and then one on my own and I will say that modeling a character can be real time consuming unless you're already experienced at it. The other issue will be that to animate him, you will have to rig him. That means alot of weight painting to get him to animate without a bunch of deformity. I'm not saying it can't be done in two weeks, but unless you've got a little experience, I think two weeks might be pushing it a little.
With that said, I'd recommend doing your project initially without the character then if time permits, work on adding the character in. This way, you're more guaranteed to have a finished product at the end of two weeks whether or not you finish the character.
Don't be satisfied with what you can do but rather strive to do the things you can't do!

That is a TON of work for two weeks. I had five months to learn how, build skin and rig a human face. Hope all goes well.Originally posted by Perfecto

2 Weeks is doable for a studio, but not for a single person. Sorry to say there is no way you will get anything completed in 2 weeks.
I agree with the comment stating, work on the environment, get the effects set up and timed and then worry about the character. The character animation alone would take over 2 weeks to get right...
Renogatiate your time scales!!!

Maybe you could do it in 2 weeks, though without sleep and food
just kidding, yeah i agree with chris it sounds kind of impossible unless you really work really really, really hard at it.I suggest you create the environment and move on from them... that way you have something to atleast work from.
goodluck,
marlon
