kurt says in a tutorial, that the model is now ready for rendering and adding to our portfolio...so here is my first question...is it allowed to put things, that I made with the SimplyMaya tutorials in my portfolio?...I mean, these aren't my models....it's just that I'm building them step by step with kurts help...

and another question: my friend - who is also a user of SimplyMaya- gave me his frog tutorial, because he has no time at the moment and wanted me to try it our....(I myself am at the assault mech model- which is great by the way....my first non organic modeling experience....)....so is it okay if he just gives me his tutorial as a present or do I have to download it again for myself....?

thanks (-:

For the first question: read this thread: https://forum.simplymaya.com/showthre...nned+tutorials

And for the other: In the beginning of the SM tutorial it cleary states that "Any public display, broadcasting or distribution of this video is prohibited by law". That means that your friend isn't allowed to give the tutes away...

If your friend just lends it to you well technically speaking that is against the rules, but then so is lending someone a book and I've done that a time or to. If your leaning it to 10 friends then that would be different.

If you happen to say be in the room, while your friend is watching his tutorial We're not going to have you shot for it or anything user added image

It's a credit to your moral conscience that you even asked... I think most people would have just done it. Good on ya!

No do not put it in your portfolio. I think its not very professional. If it was me looking at a demoreel to hire someone for the job and I reconized the model used for a tutorial I would throw it away. Unless you created the tutorial its all right. I believe it should be work you created yourself. With no help from tutorials.

I think it depends on who you're showing your portfolio to. If it's for a job then it would be better to have your own work, but if it for an interview to get onto a course then it may look good by showing you have some experience in Maya.

Does this apply to animation reels as well? For example, how about putting, say, the guy from the Organic 1 DVD into a character animation reel (after animating him, of course), for those of us who are not so hot at modelling?
