Working on low poly model

I've started work on a low poly character model which I plan to bring into ZBrush, sculpt, and output the normal maps back into Maya for render.  This will encompass a lot of stages including UV layouts, texturing, character setup (for posing) and possibly some animation.

I've stumbled across a method for modeling hands that is a huge time saver and greatly reduces overall poly count!

Just getting started

This will basically serve as a development log, as well as a place to find some 3D tutorials in the future.  I'll also be posting some of my previous work and works in progress (wip's).  More to come!
