Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Gallery submission: Rotten... (gore warning)

Hey, I am testing a lot of stuff with rendering (Software and MR), other tools like Zbrush and all sorts..

So here is a new image that I will call completed for now, has taken like 14 days in the evenings to make.. on and off..

Software used :

Silo, Maya, Zbrush, Software rendering, MentalRay, Shave and a haircut, Photoshop. So basicly its a test of making all those apps work together..

The objects has been in and out of Silo, Maya and Zbrush like 20 times user added image

and it all ended in the wonderful (theres no end of possibilities) Photoshop.

Here we go :>

Thanks for the feedback..

You would definately be better off with a wacom, but you can do it without.. From Maya create a lowrez object, export as OBJ, import in Zbrush.. From there, read the Zbrush manuals about Displacement mapping..

Awesome work man, is it hard to get all those pieces of software workning in "unison" so to speak? I'd be scared that i'd mess up an import/export somewhere!!

I've only played woth maya and photoshop, and after effects, and have trouble with them!!

Need more practice creating textures etc. Do you have any suggestions to start with?

nice. very interesting.

user added image

but for someone who doesn't know any software other than maya, its hard to visualize what you did where.
can you maybe show your model in different stages, or maybe there would be some way to show the role of different softwares in getting it to look like that..
