PhotoReal Elephants,

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.

Hi Guys,

here are a couple of elephants what I finished a month ago,

what do you think?

everything was made in Maya (modeling, texturing) and the render was MentalRay and the composite is Shake.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.
