My helmets and my own picture

This is my altered helmet.

This is my tutorial heart.

I couldn't upload my finished helmet but I will try to upload it later

Maya Tutorials

The problems I ran into were that I couldn't figure out how to make the back of the heart the same shape of the front side. I had to fix the vertices from the front and back. What I learned from this tutorial was that I can use other parts of the heart such as faces or vertices. I remembered that when you have to move something and you want to use more than one part of the vertices you can just draw a box around it.

Maya Tutorial List

1. When the tutorial tells me how to SubD (press alt+~)

2. Also when they tell me to go to the side view and tweak the cvs

3. To make a triangulate

4. Creating a spotlight

5. Turning on the depth map shadows and set resolution

Maya Tutorial

I'm going to be creating a heart on maya. Im going to do it by creating a cube and start to shape the cube into a heart by moving the vertices down that way the shape becomes a heart. I picked this shape because the tutorial was easy to understand and I know how to use each of the tools to make the heart.

Why do you change the settings on maya?

When we change the settings so that the shape that we make is set to the other shapes you already have. I think the multiple edge loops will give you more than two loops on your helmet. The number of edge loops will give a number of four loops on the helmet. The auto complete will not stop the looping from stopping immediately.
