This course will look in the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. It's aimed at people that have some modeling experience in Maya but are having trouble with
complex objects.
yeah - good to see you still working on this joopson.
Like the others, I definitely agree that a more dramatic camera angle will really help. I also think that a few more objects will help break up the scene and give it more interest - maybe a table behind the ninja with a vase, or a chest of a drawers... just an idea.
definitely 1 - it already looks a lot better - though I might rotate the character a bit just so you can see his pose. I might also move the tv in the bedroom forward a touch just so you can see it.
thanks, i added a table behind him, with a vase, but i think it looks like crap. its a thin hallway, and i personally leave my hallways empty, but oh well, what do you think???
I think the superbright light you have in the hallway is what the real problem is. I don't think has anything to do with the camera angle or the modeling. All that stuff looks fantastic. Loose the big bright light, and add some small lights on the walls ( to the front and back) and see what happens.
as far as the angle I agree with gster, I think it would look best inbetween the two angles. Maybe with a bit of a bias towards the second one. The pose is really nice and you lose a lot of its dynamism in the first one because its too hidden and because the pose was created with a frontal view in mind and in the second one because it loses the viewer's involvement. (He could also be scooted a little closer to the door, I think.)
Another thing that I think could be improved is THX's suggestion. I would use much dimmer light. This is probably at night and the lighting is too distracting. I think you should have a dim light at the left, the dimmer light coming from the tv, and add some rimlight if you need to.
I don't think you need the table behind him - especially with so much showing. Remember, the audience is pretty smart, if we see the end of a table there we'll know it's a table. I think it's just a bit distracting atm.
I think it should be a bit darker in the parent‘s room, and it would be nice if you could add some DoF, mostly on the broom (since it’s so close to the camera).
I agree, I think it could be a bit darker and don't be afraid to mess with it a little in photoshop. I think you could see just a little bit more of his face and I think he could be closer to the door with the door closed a little bit more. It's kinda weird that he's putting his hand to his ear awkwardly far from an open door. Oh also, I think the TV should be more of a blue color. If you have the time it would be nice to tweak the pose, it's not as awesome from this angle because you were planning on a different view when you made it.
Anyway, this looks a ton better than it did before.
Great job, man
