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.

I noticed the floating lamps last night too. I forgot to move them back into position after the adjustments I made. I'll double check the closet later today to make sure it's positioned/scaled correctly.

I did have to adjust the closet. I also re-positioned the end units/lamps back where they're supposed to be. Here's an updated screenshot.

A render from another angle shows that unless I make the closet more narrow, the doors are still too wide to clear the end unit. It's just starting to look too narrow to me, even though the ref pic points toward needing to make it more narrow. Please adivse.

It's most likely that the pillows are too large...I was thinking of having those two large ones stand on-end against the headboard, and have two smaller ones...but I think that would just kill the cloth sim all the more, so I probably better leave it at two pillows, and make them a bit smaller.

After looking at the reference, I don't think there's too much you can do.

It is indeed very awkward that someone would put a dresser in a place where the doors would not have enough room to swing out...but I don't think you should make it any more narrow. Perhaps it is best to leave it where it is for now. If we care to break away from the reference later, the furniture can easily be re-arranged.

That's my two cents...

did you set up the maya rendercam to have the same settings as the camera that took the shot? Just that it looks loke youve got some perspective distortion from the reference image to the model. But if your not using it to texture or to camera map then it shouldent be a problem.

Hey Pfto, I appreciate your concern.

Sever, definitely makes sense.

thx gster....... next time, we should actually try using the maya cam in conjunction with a realword cam.

gster: I havn't done anything with rendercam settings (don't really know how yet). I right clicked on the photo that njon posted and then copied it to my computer, then created an image plane and tried scaling height and width of plane so that the image looked right. I'm trying to model everything so it looks half way decent in the Camera1 perspective view.
