I Need Modeling Advice

[mrZack]

read the book, and search online for tutorials.

cuz if youre teacher sucks, your basically on your own, unless you have patient talented school mates.

:p

I am basicly the best one on maya and i am better than my teacher so he can't really help and i know how to model already so the book doesn't really do anything for me
:lightbulb I am only in high school

Uh, I'm not sure what a Zoid is. If you mean those post-spocalyptic cyber animal toys, here's my advice:

Stick with polygons in this case. You can make angles shapes rather easily, and if you need smooth, more organic shapes, just model a low poly version and goto Polygon->Smooth. All the tools you'll need are Extrude, Smooth, and Split-Polygon.

And out yeah, just start out with a poly cube.

If you're going to animate it, I suggest group geometry and then putting it into hierarchies. If you're going to use bones, then do a rigid bind.

Good Luck
:thumbsup:

I will try doing that and i will let you know if it works out but i haven't done rigid bind animation so i will have to learn that because i was planning on making it fight with another one and they kind of need to be animated
P.S. the descripion of what you think a zoid is is just about right okay :p
