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.

Pony, that is some pretty sweet modelling. Those creatures had REALLY weird anatomy: six limbs. I can't even begin to imagine what it would mean for biology if one was ever found.


My best ideas come to me while in bed!

My softness comes from skin detail and I also use GI_Joe mel script. its a Global illumination fake in maya rendering..
but it dose take mine 2 minets with GI-Joe running.. only 13 seconds with out..

Does GI_Joe work with the PLE?? I guess if it is just a mel script (not a plug-in) it should.

I usually have a tendancy to go into the competition threads...
it kinda rises my Maya inspiration... or something.....
and + you learn a LOT from it.... (you know, how you start your models and stuff...) (apologize if I went off topic.. user added image )

anyway, in this case I got in this forum myself, but I should say that people's signatures work pretty good spreading "propaganda" lol... user added image

thanx a lot pony, I should try that mel script... user added image is that built in in Maya?.. or there is a place I can find it?...
thanx user added image
