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.

alright jali. Nice work man. But not as solid as your hard surface models yet, I dont think. Are you going to colour him?

cool. im interested to see how he comes along, both in colour and sculpting, how u go between maya and z, and how that hair turns out. i never added hair to the couple of characters i made. if it looks good, i might have to ask you for pointers! have u built the base human from scratch?

yup, base mesh was created from scratch, doing it in maya means i wont have to waste time adjusting things in zbrush, i can just import it and sculpt away,

wi'll post more updates later today,

another thing which strikes me about this jali, is that you havnt given him many accessories. the first kind of game character i made was quite sparse and i found it left a hell of alot of ground to be covered with folds and creases. for the second character i made sure to add more in maya before going to z. but i wasnt really working with any poly limit in mind. have you set yourself a limit?

As a war veteran I think the hand need some more work...it looks too skinny for a person, who has been through war....
