This week we are going to begin our exploration of the art of modeling using polygons. Below you will find some videos that describe what polygons are, some of the common tools we have for working with polygons as well as a practical modeling example to show how you can use those tools to create models.
The videos will be covering more than just step-by-step processes for creating our alien character and his flying saucer. Within these videos I will be covering theory, practice and explanation. This rich information and example will show you how to operate the maya interface while modeling and take advantage of the various tools you have available to you.
