Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

Before, I said to focus on exterior, and if you had time, go on to interior.
Now, if you'd like, you can focus on exterior OR interior, and if you have time, do the other one.
Remember, for the interior, you'd be exptected to complete at least 2 or 3 rooms, with at least 2 corridor pieces that would link them. Be creative!

The idea being not only for you to pass through it, but also your enemies.

This competition looks good.
If i' m going to model the character (barbarian), is it necessary for the model to look similar to the barbarian or can i go for someone else with guns and stuff like that.
The barbarian's clothings take up lots of polys ... so i want to make him semi naked or ...... naked
Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.

Nothing to stop you, but the point of this challenge is to have real-world requirements, so you wouldn't really be using the concept much with that kind of character. For the character, you'd be wanted to make a barbarian guy(s) that would look like could fit within the pictured guy's tribe. Not necessarily matching the picture.Originally posted by mayaguy_dr
Hi,
This competition looks good.
If i' m going to model the character (barbarian), is it necessary for the model to look similar to the barbarian or can i go for someone else with guns and stuff like that.
But that would mean no guns and other modern/high-tech weaponry.
Remember to read the little blurbs under each concept! Those are the general guidelines for each concept.

Normally in a game, when a polygon is rendered it is only visible from the side with the normal facing the camera, of course you can apply a two sided texture assuming your game engine supprts that, or you duplicate the face and reverse the normal.
So whats the rules on two sided polygons?

Also, I was thinking about the file textures and realized that for some objects I could just apply a file teexture to a lambert, then go into the 2d placement tab and tell it to repeat the UV a few times. This would prevent me from having to create extra faces in order to aquire more UV's with which I would overlap on the file texture. Can I do this? or do I have to create more faces?
One more thing. I know we can only have so many file textures, but can we stick the same one on several materials in order to achieve different effects then apply it to several objects?

For glass, in a real game, you would probably have some sort of specular ability built into the game code. For this challenge, feel free to use a blinn, but it'd be good if you could give it a cool texture, with an alpha transparancy. By a texture I mean to have grime along the edges, perhaps some cracks here and there, stuff like that.
You can have textures tile. I tile them all the time. The thing to remember though, is to try to make the texture so it doesn't overly LOOK like it's tiling if you get my meaning.
You can reuse textures as much as you want. I do.
Let me know if I misunderstood.
