This course will look at the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. We'll look at what makes a good model in Maya and why objects are modeled in the way they are.

Hello!

While I wait for a tutorial to download, I will try my best to give some advice to you regarding your project. Since I do not have all the details on your level of ability I hope I don't offend.

It is my personal opinion that it will be very hard to find people to help you in your mission. While it doesn't hurt to ask, I do it all the time, it is unlikely you will find any help. Why? People have devoted large parts of their lives to become good at modeling/animating/whatever and would like to get paid. This goes for making iphone/android games, software development, graphic design, and just about any other small business.

Do you have samples of your animation work that could inspire a capable modeler to help you in your quest?

There are a few places that sell models (like AXYZ and other places..., I have looked...,everywhere!) but if you are looking specifically for Beatles-like characters you are most likely going to have to pay for the models- BUT you could luck out and someone here has already made those models and wants to make a deal/give them away- who knows!!!

I too am looking for a way to get models for my own projects and IMHO if you can't do the modeling work yourself you are going to have to either buy them or learn how to do it yourself.

Aoother Idea: There are lots of people who create animation teams but these teams are usually formed in school. I see by your profile info you are at the age to decide if a career in 3D is for you so you may be able to form a team soon enough.

Yet Another idea: It may be easier to go to a university/college/technical school and find a department head/teacher that could get a student to make the models for you. I have done a similar thing with a program I wanted coded, and it was done for a faction of the cost. Sometimes the teacher can suggest one of their best students who have just graduated and need more stuff for their show reel....,

I hope that helps.

Namaste.
