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.
what i dont understand though, why are that less polys enough for the character. and how do you know it looks good in smooth? you smooth it every 10 seconds and put back to unsmooth??? i always manage to get a real dense wireframe when i only add some little detail
and for the shirt, a ugly flower shirt with bright yellow and orange paintfx flowers might be worth testing - so it really looks like 70's.
yeah, I smooth it to see what it looks like, then go back and change if I need to. Eventually, with practice, you anticipate how the smooth works so you don't have to test it so often.
That's an intersting idea. lol I'm not really going for a 70s look, though... seeing as the character is based on me. And I wasn't alive in the 70s.
oh i see. i guess i should try staying in polys til the end. but i am too new to maya (and 3d altogether) that i might try poly only when i can get something useful with subds. but i seen today what you mean - the legs on my ant in mini challenge turned out way better than i thought after turning to subds. maya is amazing
Yeah, SubDs are cool, but they're a little too much for my computer. At least, to edit anyway. I can convert to them fine, but if I try to mess with them, my comp goes sllloooooooowwww.
Actually from a designer´s point of view, tangerine is one of the best color combinations you can get with a blue jean.
-just another pointless post- :p
Here's newest update... started on shoes. I'm thinking I'm just going to keep these for now, and go ahead to work on rigging and such. Then environment.
Thanks, Kurt. I'm thinking of making the shoes just all black... orange on feet seems to be a tad distracting.
anyone agree?
For those keeping up with the cgtalk.com challenge (that this is my entry for), the scenario is to have a toon version of the artist (that's me ) performing a non-computer related hobby. I was thinking of having 'me' be in the middle of cleaning... like vaccuming, washing dishes, scrubbing floors... all at the same time! lol Not that cleaning is a hobby, but it seems like I'm doing it ALLL the time. lol
