5th time lucky

I really lack confidence when it comes to 3D modelling. I am therefore very lucky my fellow students are good at it, and share some great tips with me, or features I was unaware of in Maya that can speed up work progress.

Of course, practice comes in a lot too, and I've been paying close attention to Digital Tutorials videos and friends when they show me how to do something (I then delete what they've shown me or screen cap it as reference and attempt my own version. I find this an easier way to learn!)

My 5th attempt at the baggy trousers of Neku, this will be the one I will continue to work on. Happy with the current shape/silhouette. Reasons for reattempts are: Not true to the 2D shape, shape did not look correct for animation, too many/too few polygons/a mess, and not having the right edge loops.




Also with the help of Mike N. and Digital Tutors, I conquered hands!



I understand my progress is slow, and needs much improvement, but with every iteration I feel more confident in myself in maybe producing better models. :)
