Completely new things I learned how to do in Maya: NURBS modeling, deformers. Difficulties existed in learning how to modify NURBS. The curve of the retractor part (not the handle) was most difficult to get right.

Beginning Official Maya Modeling Course!
I've always considered myself a stronger "sculptor" than "modeler" so it was nice to have formal instruction on modeling in Maya. Since I am familiar with the interface, commands, and modeling, I focussed on learning how to model efficiently with clean, simple, and minimal meshes. I also focussed on accuracy to the original object (comparing relative dimensions between different parts of the object). Here is a surgical retractor I modeled with the mesh highlighted to show my progress in making efficient meshes.
