making model in maya

After the steep learning curve of learning the basics of modelling on maya this was a lot easier/quicker the second time round. I decided to model a plush toy of an adventure time character BMO. Overall I enjoyed the task much more than I thought I would, I found making the truck very frustrating but once I had a better grip on using the basics of maya this task was a lot more enjoyable. I felt it was my choice of object was a good one but I probably could have picked something more challenging, I think trying to model something more difficult over summer would be a good way to try and build my skills.

This was the progress half way through the model. One problem I had was trying to get shapes with bends in them which were the limbs and mouth. I tried to do it myself with online tutorials but it did not quite work but after some help I was able to add them in. Below is the finished piece I decided to add some grass texture for fun.
