Shedding some light, making some reflections!

Slicing and dicing. Polygroups. That stuff.

Knight armor work in progress

Using Nickz human sculpt from Zbrush in Maya to start placing plate armor.

Final Caveman turntable

The caveman is complete! I had a lot of fun with this guy. He looks angry, but he's probably just hungry.

Retopologizing Craveman!

Using NexTools to retop the caveman. Retopologizing allows high poly meshes to be baked at a lower poly mesh for use in game engines and other programs that have tri limitations.

Also, quads are easier to use in animation and proper geometry is crucial. Triangles are just not gonna cut it!

Polygroups.

Masking and grouping poly groups helps to edit and sculpt certain areas without messing up previously worked on areas. Adding edge loops helps separate them as well and makes them easier to make hard edges for armor and other hard stuff.
