Hey Gamestarf - why not rent the dvd and then you can pause the film and take photos? Just a thought...

Should be an interesting model - good luck!

hey man this is something different.
you just gonna work on the model or are you gonna add fur.

Im gonna make the model.
And the hair on his head and on the legs gonna model that to.
Great idea about pausing the film.
THNX

Lol very slow progress :P
I only have the movie on tape so i cant pause it and make a screen :P
Its really hard to find some nice ref pics form side, front and back.
Please help.

i would just rent the dvd and play it on pc and do screen shot with your dvd program to capture shots you need .

what shots you looking for ..i have the movie and sometime this weekend get some shots for you if you want

Great idea :attn:
I will rent it tomorrow and then take the screens. :beer:
Stupid that i didnt think of that :headbang:

powerdvd 5 or six is the best program to get the screen shots, in my opinion ..good luck ..if need help just post cause i do own the movie
;)

ty

iam quite anticipated to see ur model.

Maybe i can make timon and pumba to when i finish simba...
Maybe i was thinking about the opening scene of the movie.
But thats gonna take a lot of time.
if i have time i will try to do these extras.
But currently im only working on simba first.

Update:
I can take screens cause teh dvd is protected...
And my camera is broken :headbang:

Hi all,
I foudn some nice ref pics.
I started to model.
But i have a question, how can a copy a leg and then mirror it?:confused:

Just group the leg to itself so that the pivot point sits at the origin point on the grid. Then go to edit>duplicate>options. Reset the settings and then change the x scale setting (the first box) to a minus 1 and hit apply.

If your model is set up with the front of your model facing front, it should work.:)

ty it worked :attn:
Think i gonna post a screenie today or tomorrow :beer:
PS: i need a pic of the head (side and front) help please :bow:

cool! Looking forward to seeing your work.:beer:

Lol the other leg wont mirror :P

Update: never mind i already got it :p

Lol i found myself a front side head :P

Sorry for teh tripple posting

Yeah that's a really cool looking simba with so little geometry. :)

Is there a set solid button in maya?
Set solid = unsmooth
Please help.
If i know this than i can give you a screen of the body tomorrow (i mean it this time :P)
The head will take some time, cause im a noob and have lot of work and school.
But im really gonna finish this one.
This is gonna be my first finished project.

I found the reduce polygon button but it reduces everything in triangles, and i dont like that.
So i could reduce it.
But here are finally my first screenies:
PS: it doesnt show the images so just click on the links.

Here's the wire that i ****ed up cause i smoothed already.
I circled the spot that went wrong, in the other screenies you can see a bump there.
Luckely the neck and head comes there.

Hope you like the screenies,
And you may give comment :D

I'm not really sure what you meant by a solid button, but I'm guessing you mean how to make the object appear square and blocky.

You do that by going to

Edit Polygon-
Normals-
Soften/harden- Then just click on all harden.

That should make your model blocky.

Doesnt work.

Is this what you're tyring to do?

Ah wait nevermind, you want to unsmoothe. There's no option that I know of for that except reduce and it sucks.

if you have smothed your object the only way of going back is to go to the history, select the polysmooth tab and lower the amount of smooth levels. If you've deleted the history then you're screwed.

Lol im screwed.
A well im satified with the body, accept the bump.
So im gonna do the head now.
Wish me luck :attn:

This is what i want.
I tried to reduce, but that sucks it makes it also in triangles.
Then when i quadrangulate my wire even gets more ****ed up.
So im just going on too the head now.

Finished :attn:
