Beer glass scene creation
This course contains a little bit of everything with modeling, UVing, texturing and dynamics in Maya, as well as compositing multilayered EXR's in Photoshop.

Hey no probs in my eyes.

When you cane up witht idea I thought of that what Vedic Kings did, so it's not like your coping or anything.

Great progress so far! Looking forward to the rest.
No, I'm not really doing something similar, my character is the main focus of the scene, but I am planning to have a scene/animation. Without an environment, I don't think the character really has as much impact or story.
And yeah... hopefully I'll have some progress posted eventually, haha.

Steve:

Cool, might still add some chains, not quite as many as Vedic Kings did, his reminds me of Silent Hill quite a bit.
Though I had been toying with how bad the victim has gotten it. Half body/half head/totally in bits/unharmed but about to get it etc.... Thinking quite gruesome as it's fun to paint blood in PS.

Stwert:

Cheers mate, wasn't sure what exactly you were doing, knew it has some animation in it though, looking forward to that! No rush on the posting, all in your own time mate! user added image

I'm done for the day and am off out for the evening.
I managed to get weapon number two, the chainsaw pretty much finished, just need to add the chain itself, and the trigger on the rear handle and I can then either texture it, or move on and do that at some other point.

Cheers peoples!

Not much of an update, but thought I'd post it as the chainsaw is done (the chain and trigger that is).

Off to bed now but am looking forward to starting another part of the scene tomorrow!

howd you do the chain part?




that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"

Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D

I guess duplicated along a curve. Could be wrong though.

I was going to duplicate it along a curve, but decided not to for some strange reason. I positioned each one of the links on the top half by hand, (it's not really a straight line so each needed to be tweaked very slightly) duplicated that set and flipped them over to the bottom, and then did the ones along the curve by hand.

Well, as long as you don't plan on animating it, you should be fine.

Nah, don't plan on animating it ever, if I wanted one for animation I'd just build another one. Get more practice that way too! lol

Done a bit towards the main character today, not a great deal to show, but here's the start to the Jason hockey mask he'll be wearing.

Just got to work out how to do all the little air holes that it has on it on the front. (Google Jason's mask if you don't know what I mean...)

Have also started on the rest of him but he's not looking post worthy just yet...
