Unwrapping an Organic T-Rex Model in Maya

Organic T-Rex Modelling in Maya

In this lesson we were tasked with modeling a T-Rex using a sketch provided to us as reference. We had to make sure that all the faces on the model were quads and not triangles. I assume the reason for this is to make sure that when Mudbox or ZBrush subdivides the model, you do not end up with a large number of edges all converging on one vertex.

We had to use the edge loops to create a topology that 'describes' the surface of a T-Rex.

Since we didn't have any reference for the front view of the model, I looked up some extra T-Rex images to use as reference. On the left, you can see my original T-Rex head that I had created without any reference. On the right, I used a still from Jurassic Park as reference for the front view of the T-Rex.

Steampunk Work in Progress

For this assignment, we were tasked with designing a steampunk character or object.

VAA Character Modelling Assignment

For this assignment, we were tasked with modelling a character based on images that were handed to us as reference.

This was my first attempt. However, this model had incorrect topology. The edge loops around the groin would not deform properly if the model was animated. I then started again and tried to create correct topology.
