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.

Hey, about opening in bryce.. im pretty sure there is a program that can do it, you save it as a certain format which can be read by lots of different 3d programs. If anyone knows the name of this, or where to get it user added image

. If it comes back to mind i will let you know. As for your jack in the box, good start! If the head wasnt there i would be wondering why you posted it, but you have a lot of expression in that face you made! Great job.

formatwonder3d works with bryce 4 only. i have bryce 5 and quite experienced with it.

What have you made in bryce? may i see some? and what bryce do you have? maybe we could exchange tips. Its rare to find an experienced bryce user.
