This course contains a little bit of everything with modeling, UVing, texturing and dynamics in Maya, as well as compositing multilayered EXR's in Photoshop.

October / November- Noob - Omy

Will be fun, see if i can get somethin done over the weekand and post it, for a start.

Ok, just thought of this, think its ganna be really great to do, im ganna make a house of mirrors, have a guy lookin in a mirror with no reflection and have Death bhind him with a reflection(i know he isnt supposed to have one but the guy needs to see him so cut me some slack)

Me personally, this would scare me to death*hehe*, ill see if i can model deaths blade today and the house for a start.

if i knew what BHP was, i may be worried, but for a scene its fine.

And im thinkin of just have a room(bed lamp and some misc. stuff) then a mirror with them their, would be easier on me, just seein what u guys think.

Also what does IMO mean, never heard of it b4

Yet another also, any1 can learn to use Maya, but if u dont have an imagination, u wont get far.

:ermm: Old brain cells here - BHP = brake horse power (processing power)? I do not understand the explanation. Please expand.

brake horse power is a term derived from "horse power" (the pulling power of a horse)

When a car has 220 horse power it is deemed to have the power of 220 horses.

so i used this ref. instead of CPU power, (I likened the analagy of a fast car to a fast computer) , hence

I hope you have a lot of BHP (brake horse power) under the hood of your computer...

well i think Omy's a bit of a shark, i like his concept, it's what i would have done, so it's left me a bit stumped...


(my only other idea was Stephen King's "IT" Clown with a Chainsaw but it's a bit over rated...) plus i'm bogged down with my first project!!

But i am really keen to see yours evolve Omy! i'll be rootin' for ya.

lol, eep, so many questions and answers, maybe i shouldnt have asked them, ah well

I've changed it a little bit for the sake of my computer, ive lost a computer for pushin it to far, and right now i have no money to buy another one, so im changing it from mirrors to an old guy in a room, heres 2 things i dont know to do:

1: Have the old man look at death in the face
2: Have his back turned and death kinda in the shadows or bhind him.

Btw, i did his scyth blade, i did a few sketches, i made about 3 different versions and finally just went with the classic ( sad aint it) and im modelin the old guys face right now, also any1 no what happened to correct-proportion, when it will be back up if it goes back up?
