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.

please help me with my urgent blendshape problem
i have a problem here with blendshape and set driven key....
fig1 shows the arm rotated in the Y axis at 90degrees...i added a blendshape/setdriven key combo that will deform the shoulder armpit area when the joint rotate in this manner...
everything is nice and perfect until i rotated the elbow joint(i also have a set driven key there that activates the blendshape when ever it rotated in x90 so the elbow dont look ugly when the joints move)...the morph target of the elbow somewhat affects the morph effect of the shoulders as well(fig2)...i tried removing the vertexes in component editor...but i cant find them is there a way to fix this? in max,u can apply the morph/angle trick locally to a given group of vertexes...is there a way out of my problem? please help me.
:-)

First of all this might be kind of buggy so you might need to delete both of the blend shape nodes, delete history and start over.
Do the blend shape for the shoulder first. When you are creating the second blend shape (for the elbow), click on the "Advanced" tab in the option box and set the deformation order to "Parallel".
By doing that you are telling Maya that the new blend shape mixes together with existing blend shapes instead of overwriting them.
Hope that helped.

What I've usually done is have multiple copies of the arm, torso, whatever for making different blendshapes for the shoulder, elbow, etc... kinda like having multiple head models for facial morph targets.

what im doing now is making sets for the vertexes...it works fine :-) it applies the morph locally :-)
