Jr.Who - W.I.P. - Game Character

Hey guys,

This is probably going to be one of my last tuts. I'm gonna be getting really busy soon, so I wanted to just model something low poly, pop it into ZBrush, then back into Maya. I don't know if I'm gonna animate this yet or not.

But, I have a bunch of ideas for future projects, so I wanna get out of the whole tut phase, cause I've learned almost all I can from them.

Haha… I love how SM's forum is so out of date and I can't reupload pics or put more than one up. :/

SM outdated really.....?? i always assumed they did that so that your pics would be better scrutinised.
doing the digital tutors next gen kit i bought their photorealistic car modelling only to find out the way they modell cars is abit off so i tend to shy away from their tuts

looking goos so far
TBH i quite like DT (sorry SM!)
I like how there tutorials are in 10min(ish) parts, it makes more sense to me because i hardly ever manage a whole part of a SM tut in one siting without taking a break (although this depends what it is, some things take longer than others)

GREAT!
following very closely i see
looks quite good, great!

elephantinc: it is nice having short little bursts of video, its like reading short chapters in a book... makes me want to see/read more...great!
although i don't like how the guys in DT have their funny little quirks, like one guy just says 'great' after everything he does and it's really annoying...great

great!
sorry for that little off topic comment Jr. Who...

Idk which I like better. I kinda like DT a bit better, but I despise the codec they use for their videos, cause fast-forwarding on it sucks.

I love the DT guy who did the Jiggle Deformer tutorial.. just because of how he says "Jiggle Deformer"

This looks good so far, though I don't understand why you still watch tutorials like this. You are way beyond the tutorial point

Just got finished with the UV map. I'd have to say this was the quickest UV map I've made, and I think it's my cleanest. So, take that Andy! lol

Anyway, here's a quick pic… I'm really tired right now, so if anyone says something about the UVs, I will verbally rape you.
