Learning to use Maya. (Patreon)

I have really been wanting to use the Arnold render to get some cinema level fur for my characters. there is a plugin being worked on for blender but Its not certain when its coming out! 4 or so days ago I started using Maya and right now I am reworking Helga in Maya with a whole new fur system. if the quality of this project is better than what I already have than I will consider switching to Maya as my main software.

because I am having to learn this new program this month is going to have less projects. I aim to at least finish 2 projects In Maya. I want to take my stuff to the next level and while blender is a great program and even better in some ways than Maya, Maya's hair system and Arnold render seems to me, to be unmatched. So I hope you all will all support me as I take some time to try something new!

Here is an example of what I hope to achieve.

I do not aim for this sort of quality anytime soon but it is a goal I am working towards with my characters.
