I find it hard to believe that this took 4 hours. I also don't see the thing you were supposed to be modelling, a pond, where is it?
Pretty sure it's the green hole in the ground.
4 hours? seriously? what the fuck. Isnt it just a bunch of primitive objects?
I gotta be honest, doesnt look like a pond at all, do you have any pictures of the real life counterpart?
Yeah, I looked at it, I didn't really know what was the pond. I don't get it.
I feel cheated...i expected a nice green rock-bordered backyard dealie and all i got were a bunch of primitives and NO WIREFRAME OR TRI COUNT WHICH IS AGAINST THE FORUM RULES.
i gotta start enforcing this a bit better. It WAS a suggestion, but nobody's doing it.
Unlock the topic when you can provide those things.
Right well the pond is the dark green thing which is a raised pond. it is 6ft deep. the 2 things either side are filters, the 1 at the very back (red dot) is the 1st filter it runs through, it is called a settlement chamber it then goes into the second part (yellow) which has japanese matting in (light blue), then it goes back into the pond the brown dotted area is called a sump or something like that. the green is the pond. the pink part is the window which will have a steel frame and the glass is literally an inch thick.
I was requested for a wireframe and poly count, but i thought id give you a brief explanation and the poly count is at the bottom

The Story.
right so this is exactly to scale of my dads pond. The pond itself isnt built yet its in the process of being dug put. my dad asked me to do a basic design but exact to scale, and thats why it took so long. The pond is going to be 7000-10000 gallons i cant remember to be honest.
Yeah, what I didnt understand before was this actually a sort of concept for the pond, I thought it was already built :)
Ill get you some pics of the Work In Progress of the pond being built. The other day we were digging and we actually come across the foundations for a air raid shelter it was quite cool actually, and i fount a WW1 padlock.

And this is the latest 1 which is from this weekend
Maya not for these kind of things. AutoCAD/SolidWorks.
They are your best bet. You could design anything in that and print out blueprints with mesurments on.
Google.com = SolidWorks
Look into it :)
Because you will never get it 100% accurate in maya.
