Introduction to Maya - Rendering in Arnold
This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then reassemble it i

You've made a great start on the model too, my only comment is that the proportions on the face arent like they seem on the sketch. Is that intentional? For example in the sketch the nose is much closer to the eyebrows.
Good start.

The one area that stands out to me most is the squareness of the neck and shoulder join atthe front. You could do with a poly split here and then move the faces back a bit to give a more rounded result.
Oh oh and make his forehead a little bit bigger (as in the drawing it's bigger and more pronounced) It reminds me of the brain from pinky and the brain!! (Which is a very good thing!)
Great work though I'm really enjoying it!

Ps. Do ya think 624 faces is too many for such a model - or did I misunderstood ya ;-)
Thanks for the good comments anyway.

it looks very cool...
cps is a nice tool just started to use it... but unfortunately I can't get it to work on one half only as it seems you are doing...
how do you do that?

tusind tak...
you just saved my day... I use a different version of CPS thou, but somehow I figured it out with your help... it was a bit tough thou since it had become quite some model, and not only an cube... but I have learned a great deal by your video tutorial... so now I can work on one half instead of 2...
thank you very much... next time I start working on a model with CPS I will start it, as you showed in the video... much easier to work with...
regards

I'm glad you took the time to make it...
I use version 3.5 of CPS... the last free one I could find... -->
https://www.lightstorm3d.com/tools/fr...PolyShape.html
the interface look a bit different than the one you used in the video... that's why I think I'm using a different version of CPS... I don't know if it is newer or older than the version you use...
