Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Also, I'll try to start soon, probably Friday though...

i was gonna have a wasteland type area where a forest has been destroyed (either by people or by fire... although forest fire is probably usually caused by some noob)
and in that wasteland a wolf (ok it looks more like a bandicoot or something that ISNT a wolf...) see's this little flower sprouting
concept sketch was for a night scene and for the word hope...
but i think i'm gonna use a different picture alltogether
...it's kinda annoying that lots of ideas flood in and i can only do one of them....
its tough choosing...
anyway, my actual scene will probably involve a human... either it will represent solitude, determination, or sorrow...
no idea where i'm going yet...

Anyway, thats not so crap, i can tell what it is!
Anyway, good luck with modeling and texturing that guy in a week, lol,.
I'm not gonna have a human in mine, because of the time limit.

well... it might be easier than the wolf...
the scene with the human probably wont have much other than him (hence solitude or sorrow)

I was thinking of tackling fear or Sorrow.
I was thinking of maybe having and old woman Holding a framed picture, of a man (presumable her recently deceased husband). The shot would be taken from her perspective.... That way I would only have to model her hand
There would be a tear running down the front of the picture.But I figured that idea was too simple. And probably wouldn't be fair... I'm modeling a picture, and you guy's are modeling entire burning landscapes, and not to mention multiple characters.
So another idea I had... A little girl sat in the middle of an old, dark and empty room. Clutching her doll and a tear running down her face. The light in the room would be coming from the doorway (which would be sat behind the camera.) In the light cast into the room would be a shadow, a silhouette of a man.
anyway, I'll get some sketching done tomorrow, and see what other ideas I can come up with.

i'm trying to paint the weights and my laptop can't do it... it lags too far behind the clicks and adding to the weights don't even appear to do anything...

Whats the specs of your Laptop?
128 dedicated (i'm pretty sure its dedicated since the RAM is not less 128) nVidia umm.... i dont remember the model... i'm not currently around my laptop so i can't say)
1.5GB RAM (i dont know how i survived with just 1GB....)
yeah, i'm pretty sure i deleted the history before doing everything...Originally posted by gster123
Have you deleted the history on the model?
although i might have forgot.. not sure... all the brushes (weights and the geo-sculpt) have slowed down since i duplicated and merged verticies
maybe i'll go to an older save and try again
yup, its currently in sub-d, which is where i've binded the skeletonOriginally posted by Joopson
did you convert to polygons yet?
no matter.... it doesn't matter if the model gets deformed for this shot, cuz he wears a lot of clothes that cover him (this was actually part of his original design which i should probably post?), so i'll just put him into position and block some polygon clothes...
