In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

In ICT there are two kinds of people : Technically challenged artists, and artistically challenged technicians.
I am, without a doubt, the latter.

Are you going to model the entire body?
Also, this looks like a dragon.... my first model I did without a tutorial was a dragon.

"Your weapons are no match for ours! People of Mars, surrender!"
"Um, this isn't Mars. This is Earth."
"Earth? Earth-with-nuclear-weapons Earth?"
"Yes."
[long pause] "Friend!!"

With regards to polycount you can always create a normal map at its high res lower it down a few devisions and then just apply the normal map onto it in maya. However depending on the purpose of your model then poly count might not be an issue then just do a straight export and dont worry about it.
