Introduction to Maya - Modeling Fundamentals Vol 1
This course will look at the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. We'll look at what makes a good model in Maya and why objects are modeled in the way they are.

Thanks man, yeah I agree actually, it looks weird today, fresh eyes always make a difference. I'll dial the bump back up a bit.

It will be getting a slight Z pass too just between the breast area, I'm just goung to at tight creasing there...

Update later.

Cheers
Jay

Update the texture, thanks to Legend Of Zombie for his eagle eyes, and point out a damn seam!!

anyways opted out of Z brush for a quick artisan across the chest, its good enough for now moving on...

looking good J.

theres this fear of Zbrushing once you do have the software, i know i had it.
i dont know why, but its almost an overwhelming feeling, but once you start you wont stop mate, i guarantee it
it feels so natural... like triple a D silicon boob job! :p

Hey Vlad

Thank you, How are you?

Yeah I did consider Z for that single crease across the chest but decided it wasnt worth going in there for the one thing. Artisan did the job this time around, and most likely the last.

Yeah been tinkering away in Z without a doubt, got a base head from Maya and am in the process of sculpting a new character which I'll unleash as soon as this baby is done.

Have you seen the new Z features, if not not gimme a shout I'll throw the link in. The new extract mesh is just amazing as is texturing in 3d now without the use of UVS...


Cheers
Jay

okay Update,

just a first pass to check the pattern in the fabric is doing its job...
Will add some fading and a little dirt on the thigh and knees, but not too much as yet

Cheers

I did think about it but decided against (for now, we'll see)

It crossed my mind what fashion models do and what Carrie Fisher did for her role as Princess Leia, neither wear bras but are taped down...ouch!!

LOL

Hey Jay, looking great mate!

The view port is managing to displaying the texture rather well, but all finalized and rendered she's really going to look the business in those!
