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.

Heh, ok i get the picture user added image My aim was to create a hand-held like shot. I guess with an impulse like in my shot the camera operator would have hit his head on the ceiling and dropped the camera on the floor though user added image

Anyway, there will be another shot from inside the ship which has better cam movement. I may even drop this current shot from the final version...

I loved perfect storm and when I found out that they used Maya I when I was first started I was amazed. And now 1 Man, YOU is making this..you make me jealous and inspired. One day (soon) ill be able to make a simple row bot rowing gently down the stream =) Then ill be happy.

This one looks real good. Nice texture.

I'm having troubles when watching the movie clips, some of them work, others go totally black while playing.

Is it a codec I'm missing?

Thanks for the comments. You might have an older version of divx. The last few clips are encoded with divx 5.1.

Yes, I took a bunch of photos of stormy clouds and combined them to a big horizontally tileable image. Not entirely pleased how it turned out but it'll do (the photos are much more nicer).
