Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping

In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

I like it but the yellow striped shirt kinda annoys/hurts my eyes.

I guess it would really depend on what kind of style you're going for, but I think some wrinkle details on the clothes would be cool. I also think some indication of laces or something on the shoes would help.

Here's some links to a toon guy I've done. Maybe they can give you some ideas.

Again, it's a matter of style, but his head, seems a bit "ape" like. It's wide around the eyes, but tapers at the chin and the top of the head.

His hands seem a bit thin. I think a little definition in the arms, like at the elbow, with maybe some wrinkles might help.

Once again, take this with a grain of salt. When it comes to cartoon characters, pretty much anything goes.

Looking forward to your progress. user added image
