Introduction

In this lesson you alter an existing polygonal head model into a goblin by sculpting the mesh with the transformation tools.

In this lesson you’ll be introduced to some of the polygon modeling options Maya provides by learning how to:

• Use reflection to perform symmetrical transformations to your model
• Use Soft Select to transform components with falloff
• Modify the falloff area and shape
• Create a custom falloff shape
• Select components using Marquee select and Drag select
• Use Camera based selection to limit the components you select
• Use the Split Edge Tool to separate edge rings
