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.

"THE ARMY" Brian Ellebracht

Can we start this Months Comp??? Well, here is my idea, please let me know if it is ok. There is alot of talk these days about UAV's in the News. Here is a web site, that gave me the idea to make a UAV helicopter. Is that ok?? DOn't have much for references, So I thought that I could make my own, based on The image on this site, and a few other references. Please let me know. I Can't wait to get started thanks,
Brian Ellebracht

P.s. here is an image of my idea. THanks,
Brian

Here is the back so far, it will be mechanically the same as the one on the link, but cosmetically if you don' t mind, I would like to spruce it up a bit. THansk,

I wonder; what does "UAV helicopter" mean?

Looking really nice. Did you find some more detailed blueprints on this or are you just using your imagination?
