Haunted House TUT
 

Just downloaded the Haunted house tut, but I dont see the little sample image in any of the zips. Maybe I missed it but I dont think so. Any help would be cool. ;)

I'll get this of kurt first thing! Sorry about that

Dave

Thx :attn:

Reference images can now be found in part 0 for both the house modeling and texturing

David

seems tutorial files are always missing;) :headbang:

This tutorial is great, learned a lot from it. Thnx Kurt.

Glad to hear you learned a lot from it=)

Im on Part 5 of the haunted house one right now, going great, doing the pyro man tut at work when im not working on real work :attn:

heh i did that at work... and my boss caught me and remotely logged me off :(
Be careful if one is lurking around the corner!

Thx for looking out, but my work is cool with me working on my own projects or samples when we have no work in house ;)

I have had two minor issues with this tutorial so far:

1.) I had been working on the tutorial with Maya 6 PLE and then installed Maya 7 PLE and I noticed something strange with the house reference image. In version 6 it displayed fine but in version 7 it is skewed by 1 pixel to the right on each line of the image so that the whole image slants to the left. Has anyone ever seen this? Should I just try converting the image to another format and try creating a new texture and reapplying?

2.) I noticed that in part 4 a new image is used for a house reference but it's not included in any of the zip files. Can you point me to where the image is hiding or could you send me a copy of it? I suppose it's not absolutely necessary since I can just use the tutorial video as my reference but I do kind of like to have the reference image in the scene.

Thanks,
Scott.

I have Scott. Somebody else had the same problem, including myself. I've put a post Here . Its helped me to straighten my planes out. If anyone else finds another method then I'd be glad to hear it!

Bingo! Thanks Keith - that did it. Problem 1 solved.

Does anyone else have any ideas about the missing image?

Thanks a bunch,

Scott.

A Great tut!

Software: Maya 7.0

1:I the end of Part 3, you setup all the light... But when i choose a light on only get one Point i can move around... So i can Choose where the light should be and what direction the light are going to head....

Haunted House
 

Sorry to make this a negative post, but I bought the DVD version of this tut and after waiting for what seemed like an eternity it finally showed up (despite the representation that there is a US distrubtion point for US customers everything seems to come from the UK and it takes forever to get here...at least to the remote corner of the globe known as California). In any event, my DVD has a damaged part #4 (no sound). A run through DIV Doctor confirmed that the file is damaged. So, at the minor expense of 2 points I downloaded Part 4 from the site expecting to find the second reference image (which is missing from the DVD) in addition to a file that played correctly. File plays fine, but no reference image. An earlier reply to a post here said the file could be found in Part 0...really? I only get the first reference image. Am I missing something?
