I am currently teaching the modeling 100 and 200 classes at PIXL VISN and I am really proud of what my students achieved after such a short time! After 5 weeks we started on modeling an entire room out of polygons where they had to practice beveling. I gave them one week to create an interior room (without any specific shading). A few weeks later we got deeper into hardsurface modeling and the task was to create a vehicle or robot in two weeks with basic shading and lighting using SiBL in mental ray.
I am really proud of my January 2016 class and their results. You guys should definitely check out their awesome work on the PIXL VISN blog:
