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.

Ive had it 3 months i think but not spent too much time on it like i said that was my 4th image... Im currently working on a full dragon. Ive done the basic shape of the body legs and head just wings left shouldn't take me too long but ive done no texturing yet so thats my next thing to work on.

Well, thats pretty good work for only 3 Months of on and off practice.

It would be nice to see that Dragon your working on. My second model in Maya was a Dragon (built in PLE) and my first was a train. (also built in PLE.)

My first was kind of a motorbike make using a mixture of nurbs and polygons... looks alrite but a bit bubbly lol. 2nd was a very rubbish attempt at making an electric guitar, i teach guitar atm as well so thought it would b fun to make one of my designs that didn't go very well. 3rd was another bike this time completely poly and i didnt have enough room for the handles (whoops!!) so i scrapped it. Then the Orc head, now my dragon and just started on my go kart for the winter comp.

you should take that character you made and drop it into Zbrush and add some cool texture stuff, that would be cool ! user added image
