Hey everyone, this is my first post. After reading the practical guide and everything else I could find, I have created my first model. Took me about an hour or two to build, then another 8 to render in Maxwell =)
Let me know what you think.
NICE START FOR YOUR FIRST PIECE, BUT I ADVISE LOOKING INTO TEXTURING THE SURFACE FOR DETAILS. ALSO I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU HAVE RENDERED IT IN MAXWELL, A LOT OF UNECESSARY TIME WAITING FOR THE RENDER.
So that’s what the little guy on my left shoulder looks like. :lol:
Looking good. 
I rendered in Maxwell because no other renderer out there can even compare to it’s ease of use and amazing results as far as I am concerned… which are definately worth waiting for… ZBrush’s renderer is nice but it can’t compare… just my personal preference…
I should also note that this is a WIP, so textureing will come… I am much more worried about good modeling before I worry about it… it doesn’t matter how well you texture a crappy model, it’s still crap… 
Haha, beautiful! Nice style. 
I must apologize. I am just excited about Maxwell, that’s all. Anyone who’s used it knows that despite it’s mind-numbingly long render times, it is a great renderer, but to say that nothing else compares was extremely ignorant on my part, so I am sorry.
I did quite a bit of work on him last night and opted for Mental Ray through Max8. I think he turned out pretty good. I am also considering this to be finished; more of a practice round. Critiques always welcome.
Hahaha! A very cool, cute and clean model, very good primitive 
Keep on learning and posting of course
