Need advice to model this

[Felipe.VallejoMorales155610]

Hi there,

I am quite new in  Maya and I have been working in project for a course, everything was ok until I got to this asset which I've spent hours trying to figure out how to do it. Any advice will be very helpful.

Thanks

I attached a video of how I would approach it.

Hi tdHendrix,

First of all, thank you so much for taking the time to do that video I very much appreciate.

Oh man your method would have saved me hours of work, thanks a lot. it will be very much of use for the other assets I have to model. I spent all the night digging and playing with it and finally I managed to do it creating the main shape from a sequence of circles in a loft, some soft selection and poly modelling.

Attached an image of what I did, any feedback will be great.

Again thank you very much for your help.

Looks good to me. It has nice edge flow. The NURBS approach worked out well! For these weird shapes it can sometimes be tedious to get the result you want.
