I am having some trouble with a modeling project in Maya. I am trying to model a Jaguar (animal). I plan on using the model in an animated sequence I want to put together in CryEngine. I collected my reference images which included pictures that depict the cats anatomy (muscle structure) and lots of real life references…
Generally nowadays you would do an organic model in zbrush without making a base in maya first, unless there is some certain call for it, a jaguar in almost every case wouldn't need a base to start of with.
