I Know It Was Just Playing Around With Fur Options haha

Well I Tried Using The Last Tut. But It Failed Somehow So I'm Modeling The Eye Lid And Gonna Model The Ears Later On And Test Again

Kay So I'm Almost Finished With The Eye Lid Using This Tut. (http://en.9jcg.com/comm_pages/blog_content-art-177.htm)

And Now I Have A Tiny Problem .. I Made An Edge Loop Following The Tut. And Now It's Making A Wierdo Line Split In The PolyGon ..

Any Way To Smooth It Out? (Check Out Maya 2011 Looks Epic)

Probably a smoothing group problem, Looks like they have diferent smoothing groups but you need it all in the same to make it blend (Well, You don't but it will work for this)

Goodmorning everybody

I had Elves for breakfast !!




I didn't know how to stick the first ear to the model so i made this one starting from a small triangle at the sides luckily that triangle covered the exact place from where the ear comes out ...

anyways the flow sucks since it's a deformed shape and i added some edge loops & smoothed 2 times

soo how is it?

Your better using a symmetry modifier instead of mirroring half the mesh. Itll auto weld the seam making it easier and much more /ergonimic? (cant think of the word) But it looks pretty good so far, keep it up. Oh and stop turbo smoothing/subdiv. its gives that plastic look and removes any definition.

Yeah, neo' gave him permission a while back to use it for photoshopping.
At a guess Overlay, filter wind, pencil, maybe blur. Flatten, burn for highlights. Hes also got a Extrude/emboss going there too. Sorry its a force of habit to break stuff down lol.

Though its quite misleading since well neo did all the work

As for the hair, well i cant help you there mate, i normally use planes with alpha since i have more control and theres no poly wastage, that an its a royal pain in the ass to animate fluidly. 2-3 seg planes are plently to make bounce effects with wind flow ect

Just keep it up anyway, you'll get better as you progress.

Why would you need to smooth a sword? And trust me, I have seen/done worse UV maps. My biggest prob with your map is that there is way to much wasted space. Try making the long parts diagonal on the plane or enlarge some other aspects, right now, there is to much white space.

What do you mean by smooth? Mesh smooth, or are you talking about smoothing groups? I personally do the smoothing groups before I unwrap the UV map. The UVW map looks pretty good, but as said before, you should compact all the pieces together to get rid of as much empty space as possible. Also, the pieces in the bottom right... I would keep the piece on the right since it is straighter and easier to manage, and delete the piece on the left. I'm not sure if that part is the blade or what, but you can mirror the piece on the right, and overlap them on the UV map. If you don't want to overlap, after you mirror the object, flip the uvs for it horizontally so that they are evenly proportioned to the object on the right.

I attached a pic of a bit more efficient way to do the map. It is a 512x1024 map. I find that for maps with long pieces, a 1:2 ratio in size works well.

Looks cool, hombre. It looks like the golden area has some overlapping on the UV, but since it is more or less a solid color, it doesn't matter much.

I'm not sure about the error. I watched the youtube video, and it looks like some zdepth problems occurring. Don't know how to fix it, though. :/

Also,

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Maybe too late since you already have the texture done, though.

Good job. The sword is really coming along!

If maya supports baking, not sure, then it should be very possible, i just add materials with different colours to each major section, on 100% self-illumination and bake a diffuse map.

Kay I'm Working On A Usb Cable And it's Pissing me Off ..

http://cg.tutsplus.com/tutorials/autodesk-maya/model-and-texture-a-photorealistic-usb-cable-with-maya-and-mental-ray-day-2/

I Finished All The Steps Till Day 2 Step 41

After That I'm Totally Confused And Dunno How To Follow The Tut..

The Guy Is Saying Create The Layer And Copy The Objets ... By That Does He mean Copy verything Including The Camera , The Light , And The Plane poly?
Or Only The Usb Cable??

I tried The Depth Thingy Several Times But It Always Turns Out All black Or All White .... any help?

I'm not super sure, but I would assume that he means just the objects.
"add all the objects in the scene to it."

I wouldn't consider the lights and camera as objects if I am to take what it says literally. I would only copy the cable, the surface it's on, the backdrop and such.

As far as the depth of field rendering, I'm not sure. I always use 3dsMax and Vray for rendering scenes like that.

I Just Want It A Simple Mouth For A Talking Animation or So .. Also Should I Seperate The Inner Mouth From The Model .. For Uv Mapping ?

Awesome work! I haven't done any facial rigging so i'm not 100% but I think that it doesn't matter. I'm guessing the rig around the mouth would be the same weather the inside's attached or not

alright so the lips them selves need a little work for one you forgot the dimple at the center of the top lip(or it looks like you did) and then the lips are rounded not flat and need to be that way because well round is just more pleasant to look at. a curve has substance while a flat plane is just boring.

I've acctually been looking into your thread for a while but didn't have much to say until now. its good that you've modelled the eyelids completely, if you're intending to use this for sculpting or, well anything other than an in game character i'd strongly recommend having the interior of the eyelids modelled so that it wraps around the back of the eye, you don't have to do that you could even have a set of shear faces. the mouth looks a lot better and the work around the nose is great; and Quik do you mean on the eyes themselves? because during the modelling process its good to have a solid representation or the orientation of the pupil or iris, that'll be why he's extruded inwards, that effect will later be recreated through textures im guessing but do remember to later account for the bulge on the eye, looking good.
