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.

HAHAHA cheers bullet.

Makes life a lot easier when you get paid to do this stuff and are then able to put in a lot of hours. Hope to the exterior finished later today and can then move onto creating the interior.

Thanks again matey, really appreciate the kind words.

What settings do you adjust when you set up physical sun/sky Leon? Really like the renders.

Hi Ben,

These are straight off the bat but the settings to change are in the hypershade under utilities

Mia exposure and the gamma value is a crucial one

There should be a load of documentation on this in the maya help files if you are really stuck.

Done some more work on the exterior and started on the interior. Just a few small details still to add to the exterior.
Hell of a lot of work to do on the interior, is going to require a lot of extra modeling. Think it will look a lot better once there are people and clutter such as bags, ropes and what not on the chairs and walls.

I have uv'd the outer shell and have created a diffuse and specular map although I need to get a decent hdr in order to get the specular working.

All the rivets are created with zbrush and are a normal map.

Hey guys,

I have laid out the uv's for most of the interior now and will post a render of it once I finish texturing the floor and metalic parts.

I wonder if any of you can offer any advice with regards to setting up the shaders for these though. In the image below I textured the engine and tried setting up a shader for it but it sucks. I really need to get a brushed metal look and the texture needs to be plugged into a shader that will allow me to achieve this. If anyone can offer any advice with regards to creating metal shaders it would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Leon

Hi Dave it is the engine that lies below the rear rotor. Really not sure how to go about setting up a shader for this. I have created a texture map but need a shader to help give a brushed metalic look. If you can give any advice it would be greatly appreciated.

Is there not a 'brushed copper' material of Davids in the downloads section on here? Perhaps that could give you some ideas?

Done some more work on the interior with the back, hope to get a load more of this textured today though. I tried out davids brushed copper and think the problem is with maya physical sun so am going to move away from it while I set up the textures. The final animated renders will be done using vue with mental ray though.

Just a render with it in a scene of sorts, I will set up a afternoon render once I get some more textured.
