Human Modeling in Maya now-a-days??

[jamihn]

Polys are fun to start with. I find them easier to work with than nurbs (mostly because nurbs hate me). I've seen a lot of characters done in polys and then coverted to subDs. I think a lot of folks are using the Poly to SubD work flow these days. But it just depends on what you're comfy with.

I still struggling to find a method that works for me. I would love to hear everyones super secret methods that they've created out of thier blood and sweat. :beer:

Thanks,

will do, thanks. i'm still struggling right now to get back into the swing of things.... Max has been mean to me and I started to toy around in MPLE again. the last character I made was in the way they did the little girl in the bingo video....so I'll try my hand at the Poly method you all have suggested.

thanks again!
