Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

You can build up quite complex shading networks with the layered shader. The eye I made utilises 4 ramps that make use of the blending modes, one ramp controls the viens, one for the overall eye colour, one for lines in the iris and one for an extra underlying noise within the irsis. I used the blending modes to dictate how they show through one another. I just experimented till I got I good understanding of how the structure works.
I should really go into more detail but I am excedingly tired, and it's my birthday, yey.
I may try and do a quick walkthrough of making one for my website when I get the time.

Back to business, just started painting my bump map for the head. Due to poor modeling practice I ended up almost completly re modeling it. Ah well, it uv maps ok now, phew!!
Very basic start, but I'm looking forward to painting for a little while now.

This will be my first attempt at a multi layered skin texture so feedback will be much appreciated.
Thanks for all the help so far guys!

Working up the layers as I go now.
Still loads to do on the bump map, also has a basic colour and difuse map, no specular yet.

Do we lose points if what we model does not precisely resemble the films? A general questiuon as I hardly expect to gain any anyway

Pony,
you're right about the colour, it's just a base at the moment. I know what you mean about the film though, there is no where near as much colour in him there, as there is in the pre production shots.
Witchy,
I know what you mean about resembling the character. Mine is way off from gollum, I've just got the book that Ice Queen recomended today and it has great references. So I'm now toying with the idea of remodelling him again. Mmmmm got to think about this
Thanks again.
Chris

I was just asking for clarification as people keep mentioning the movies but I didn't see anything that said we had to make the movie characters, not for a moment suggesting you should start again - as I said, I think your Gollum is Golluming along nicely.
