2d images

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.

i have a question, is it possible to make a 2d image in maya, and then rig it and texture it so it appears 2d but its animated with maya? i think it is possible but im just checking.

Do what you like, like what you do.

Suppose you could use the vectore render, if your going for a cartoon 2d look?

Its 100% possible in Maya, Futurama and other 2D cartoons ahve used 3D software within the cartoons, to give the 3D effect to the 2D environment, the opposite is possible but it would need to be, as gster said, done in Vector render.

Look at this link on DT for uses of the toon shader...
