Some Basic Projects
I should probably mention that I'm familiar with the basic modeling tool sets (not quite into texturing yet), so I don't need to do the extremely basic tutorials. What I'm looking for here is the type of projects one might find in the beginning of a 3D Modeling course.

Just one question- should I take photos for reference images or just model it from life?

There are loads of good tutorials online, the book "The game artists guide to maya" is good too as it covers modeling (with images), uv'ing (with supplied textures) and animating, using the trax editor and even some particles.
cheers,

Uv's you say? May the various gods of the cosmos be praised! I've tried to understand these things, but they seem forever beyond my grasp... -.-Originally posted by gubar
Go with photos to be as accurate as possible when you model.
