This course will look at the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. We'll look at what makes a good model in Maya and why objects are modeled in the way they are.

I know what your saying...user added image I gonna try and find out the true meaning of that scene cos i would like to know. They either slapped it in there to get the extra publicity [not that they need it] or there's some underlying meaning.


Yeah, but no but yeah but no....

Why not say they were going off to do so but then tell us more story and let our imaginations fill in that part! We know they love eachother, it saved Neo and now saved Trinity too! But there could have been ten minutes of story told to us during the orgy/sex scene or just cut the movie ten minutes shorter. But hey like I said loved the movie saw it twice so far I just feel if I was the editor I would have done somemore work and taken out some un-necesary parts! user added image Oh well though! user added image
L8 mates!

i totally agree with wicket. i hate to compare but in StarWars Ep2, they also showed the love that was growing between Amidala and Anakin but they didn't show any sex scenes there. you see, there are a lot of things you can do even without showing those sexual stuff. :o

Besides not to bash on them nor anything, but to be truthfull I´d say Amidala´s love for Anakin is comparable to HowardPorter´s Zombie fish. That was a soap-opera on heavy VFX steroids. :p

me and my co-workers were all talking about what's cg and what's not in the movie. but when you talk to a simple person, he wouldn't know the difference. about the 100 smiths, i think the only cg in them would be their faces. if you would look clearly, their faces are just composited on them. though when it came to the part where neo bashed some of the smiths, they turn to 3d.

They did something like use a mix of cg and stunt doubles that looked nothing like the actors to film the fight scene and then they simply filmed Neo and Smith's heads at different angles and different facial expressions. Then they just put the filmed heads onto the already filmed fight scene.

if it is true what i read a bit ago, then you both hit the truth partially. what i read is this in an article where someone interviewed joel silver (the producer):

first he talks about bullet time (with 120 photo-cams put around the set that make a picture at the same time) so the photos can be used to freeze the scene and then move around freely when time stopped. but that was not even close enough for the burly brawl. they had 100 smith stunt doubles (real and good kung fu fighters) in black "smith clothes" fighting with neo. that was filmed from different angles. that went into the computer, got vectorized and then completely digitalized. the faces got changed with a digital model (created out of high quality film shots of the real face from smith). having the complete scene in fully 3d with realistic fighting (it was real to begin with - at least most of it) had the advantage to use every and any desired camera position and playback speed.

in the end silver mentiones proud that in the first part the matrix was just a vision. and now in the second part they actually created that matrix as a side product.

also it is said later in the article that the 2nd part ends in the middle of the action, because reloaded and revolutions is planned as only one really long movie and not 2 seperate episodes. that is the reason that revolutions comes in november already - not to let ppl wait too long.

oh forgot to mention. i was surprised as well when i read the article. even neos clothes are supposed to be rendered in the burly brawl - wow.

and whenever you think that they switched form real film to cg in that scene, they actually "only" switched from cg that is possible to do with regular film to cg that is virtually impossible to do w/o computer to cg that is better not even tried to shoot in regular film.

very awesome user added image

I read somthing about that. Silver said that he would feel sorry for the fans if they had to wait a year for the next one. user added image
