How did you make the grass with the paint effects tool? I tried also to use it but didnĀ“t mangage to cover the whole part of an area but just isolated blades of grass.

Would be nice if you could tell me, cause I was despairing because of it.

Thanks

Looks pretty cool for 4Hours of work!

I like to have random sessions with Maya! I like to just open it up, with no prior planing, or commitment to a project, and just simply see what i come up with. One time i built 2 Cars user added image

Nice work!

Hehe, looking pretty cool, though it doesn't look like a real chainsaw, but what the hell user added image

Did you manually place all of those chain links around the chain saw mount/thingy?
