Lookit what Gentar made with Maya
« on: May 23, 2007, 01:47:07 am »
This was my first experience with maya and, for the most part, modeling in general. It is a dwarven forge.

Holy crap, dude We need to get you modeling for PS, stat.

How do you like Maya? I hear it's ridiculously simpler to UV map / texture there than in max.

Really nice work! However i think those tables could look a little more worn out. Keep up the good work!

Keep it up though....

Holy crap, dude
Took the words out of my mouth.

Wow. I've been trying to work out Maya for ages now and I've never come even close to anything remotely like that. Using Maya controls, I can't even understand how you managed to do that.

Reminds me  that perhaps I should try some mapping myself again, using another tool that I find easier to use myself(UnrealED), and about it, quite well done for a first try. I don't know why all the 3d modelling software that I tried seem so clumsy to me(or perhaps I am clumsy to use them), I think I can do better even with an old mapping tool for Duke Nukem 3D.  ???

Of course I doubt I would do anything at all without textures ready for use...

Indeed very good, Gentar! I think the sword should have more specular, but it's just a detail, and in the end you're the artist and can make what you want!

As I was reading that I was thinking about hunting you down and unmercifully murdering you.

I don't know about that. Perhaps I just haven't used mayas uv mapping tools enough, but I find them clunkier than max's. The whole cut uv's/unwrap thing is a nice idea, but it just doesn't work as predictably as simple planar mapping. Plus, if you use turbo unwrap for max instead of the stock unwrap uvw it really makes max's tools pretty bearable.

As for the modeling, it looks pretty nice Gentar. Could use some piles of junk and tools on the wall to add some more interest. Maybe try getting some sort of structural stuff in the ceiling too, instead of just flat tiles. Looks good though, I like the forge setup.
