This class has been extremely helpful for the basics and I can say for myself, I have become very fluid with the basic commands needed to operate Maya. Using Blackout in the class helped visualize basic forms in complex objects to break it down for easier modeling techniques. Using image planes is really helpful for reference and getting the object in the basic form and then using the reference images to create dinner details later after removing images plans. Also, after using the image planes you can take your artist eye in the perspective view and manipulate the object to give it an easier look in the eye. Like our teacher Mr. Tony Bagsby said we are basically vert pushers and using the all the basic modeling tool are really important. We will always use them and once we really become very fluid with our modeling, we will have all the basic training we gathered from the month down and it will be second nature. Edge flow and typology is extremely important for any model to be esthetically pleasing to the eye. Typology is really important for models and if the typology is not correct the character will not move as build as the animator would like.
