My First Maya Project
1 Attachment(s)
It was a struggle I must say, but by the end I learnt quite a bit. It's going for a Disney-ish look and I know it could have been much better, I've seen Maya landscapes that are stunning. But this is as far as I could take it. So any comments welcome.:D
Cheers Terry |
That is actually quite pretty :). The grass is missing shadows though I don't think it breaks the image given the bright, saturated cartoony feel.

I concur Gen.....it is actually a nice crack at it mate! well done

Thanks Bullet. I gave it my best shot, still tons to learn though. Cheers Terry |
Either you have a classical art background or you are lying about this being your first project, it has good compostion, atmospheric dissipation( where it usually get's a blueish haze the farther you look from the camera-you picked green ;) ) , soft shadows ( trees), variation in textures/color which gives it a more natural feel.
Looks great |

Just to add to the above comment before this starts another flamewar :).
If it is his/her very first project ever to have made in 3d then it looks surprisingly well and it is a compliment,if it isn't the first project they usually get upset and I get a lot of pissed of privatemessages saying my work sucks and incidentally throw some jargon at me which only a somewhat experienced 3d artist would know, all together a win-win situation hahaha ;). But in all honesty don't read more in it than there is |

Now I'm back to tutorials and STILL trying to get a good gold material in Maya, I'm obviously doing something wrong, the freebies are not working. The good thing about Cheetah is gold is just a drag and drop, it comes with the program. Cheers Terry |
The look of a material greatly depends on lighting and rendersettings as well as the diverse settings of the material themselves, so even a downloaded shader doesn't necesarilly look good in your scene and I figured as much ( that you had some experience), but it doesn't matter, the endresult is the only thing that counts and it looks pretty good.
And there is always something that could be better or improved no matter at what level you are, just close this project off and go to the next one and look at it again in a year or two ;) |

Yes still have problems with some materials, but I did the first time I used 3D. the good thing about Maya is there are plenty on tutorials online, so each day I learn a little something new. :) |
Looks really nice, I like the mood. Would be happy to move into the little cottage right now.
Have a look at this site if you're struggling with gold or materials in general, it explains it really well. Use a blinn or better a mia_material_x to create your metals in maya instead, then just adjust to color for the metal you want. http://www.neilblevins.com/cg_education/gold/gold.htm |
