Maya Modeling Tutorial: Ninja Star pt. 4

In this modeling series we model a ninja throwing star. In part 1 the top image plane is created based on a reference image which can then be imported into Maya. Some NURBS and Polygon tools are used to model the object, and some materials are applied in the end to wrap up the series. Software used: Maya 2009 and Photoshop CS4.

[da1bu89]

Used to use Blender for doing some modeling but not very proficient in it now - could model in Maya and import an .obj into Blender though. What type of project are you doing - game, animation, still renders etc?

I used to use 3DS Max 2010, But Now Since I've tried Maya today I think I will change, It seems more user friendly once you get used to the different User Input controls.
