Modelling

Due to illness, my work on maya has been sporadic at best. For the modelling process i looked at all the tutorial videos on moodle. These were very useful. I also hit the library and got 2 books (Mastering Maya, Eric Keller) (The art of Maya, Alias/wavefront) and purchased another (Official learning Autodesk Maya). So between the different sources of information, and doing tens of tutorials, i have managed to model and rig my character. Im not sure of the process really and i have fumbled through trying the best i can with it. Hopefully the character has ended up somewhere there abouts. I have had to do numerous re designs, realizing early on that an ambitious character would have caused more problems than it solved. So the character that i made in Maya has little correlation to the thought processes involved in the planning as i had to just dive straight into maya to realize these pitfalls. But its getting there. I will be re doing my character sheet to fall inline with the character. I have context for it in my head but needs putting down onto paper.
