This time I wanted to improve my 3D modeling skills (I will need them for my next project).
.
So I took the excellent "Mastering 3D Modeling in Maya" course available on Yiihuu.com and I was not disappointed at all (note: the course is also available on the instructor Mario Brajdich's website Elementza.com, the advantage being that the course contains an additional part on the Zbrush/Maya retopology process which is unfortunately not available on Yiihuu at the moment).
.
Mario Brajdich is an excellent tutor and I enjoyed the course immensely (before taking it, I had almost no experience in 3D modeling).
