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.

July Contest - Blinn - Normal

Alright guys, I'm gonna finish this one! I've no excuse not to this time around.

Anyway, I intend to model a gecko type creature, with a rambo type attitude. I can't post the concept yet, because my scanner is on the fritz, but I'll try to get it working. I'm using SubD's, and it is my first time doing so, so wish me luck.

He'll be controlled with a big chain straped to his back.

Heres what I have so far.

Thanks for the replies guys!

I was doing some research, trying to find some references on the internet, and I found this purely evil looking gecko, thought I'd share.

Yeah for sure
I think a fractal map and a ramp for the pupil should take care of it.
