Maya: Character Modeling

Save For Later

Modeling tasks are often separated into character-based objects and environment-based objects. In this learning path, you will learn to use Maya to create 3D character models from cartoony to more realistic styles. You’ll also learn about building characters ready for rigging and animation and about creating optimized topology.
