Week 6: Midterm Critique
Using the feedback given in the week 5 critique we will finish up our Head/Env project, submitting 2-3 renders, the final maya file, as well as all relevant textures. Your reference materials should also be submitted, either in image form, or in that of a spec sheet (see below). For next week, you will need to gather reference materials or make sketches to begin our creature project.
