Model A Low Polygon Character In Autodesk Maya 2017

Creating a character using 2k poly or less
What you'll learn
Set up a character schematic in the modeling workspace.
Model characters using simple cylinders and extrusions
Model hands using cubes and cylinders
Explore how this low poly modeling technique works with UV mapping
Map individual groups of polygons with different aiStandardSurface shaders
Make shaders that have different subsurface scattering effects
Use Skydome and studio lighting techniques to enhance surfacing effects
Requirements
You should have a basic familiarity with Maya's modeling interface.
This is a beginning to intermediate level course.
Ideally students should complete the Create and Render a Wooden Toy Car in Autodesk Maya 2018 if you are new to Maya or 3D in general.
Description
In this course, we are going to explore low polygon modeling techniques as they apply to a "simple" (and I use that term in quotes) character. Working in low polygon's means we get to pare down the generally complex character modeling process into a sub-2000 polygon character. Many of these techniques can be "scaled up" to use on characters with higher polygon budgets, but in this era of smartphone games, having the ability to model in lower polygon counts is very relevant and useful.
