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.

Hello!

I am at work right now, so i can´t continue my Monitor ... therefore now modelling a plant, that´s in my room.

@nurbs: i like just there roundness ... but sub-Ds are great as well! and polygons are superb anyway, but i allways got problems with polys to make nice round things ...

the plant now i make as an mixture of Nurbs and SubDs ...

Doing lightning right now ...

Great work. Like the plant. Not sure how you mean by "only cast shadows not light the scene". Like making the intensity negative should create a "cone of darkness" user added image

. Otherwise, look at light linking.

oh yeah, got an idea how to make it .. the problem is, the lightning in my scene is ok right now, but got no shadows yet and no dominating light... so i thought about creating the shadows seperatly where i want them ... but i don´t know, i guess i will just do the lightning again, with one major-shadow light ...

but otherwise, negative light with shape ... could just create a shadow ... thanks!

i like your work too user added image

no i hope my opponent will not post something great last minute user added image

i think if you turn off emit specular and emit diffuse then that will make the light only cast shadows.... I'll have to check that cause I need to do it too.

Edit: hmmmm cant get it to seem to work. Although I think that the idea is sound..... i think

Where is Cb8rwh!?!?! Did he forget!? Oh well, i think you're scene looks great! Very stylin. Some production AntiAliasing might really make that image look alot better.
