Introduction to Poly Modeling in Maya - 3D Tutorial 

I know the feeling

What you mean still. Isn't that a standard ?

I appreciate that!

Happy to help :)

We'll just wait for the machines, they'll get there

Thanks! :D

Ahh good old nurbs........

@@FlippedNormals I still use Nurbs in Rhino to make hard surfaces, then import them to Max or Blender ( now that I'm moving towards Blender )

lmao

That's...not that far back haha.

@@IGarrettI i guess not, but im also young so 11 years is for me haha.

@@monkeyboy140 fair point !

It really is!

Yep just broken my cherry this week and it's so cool

You're welcome

for production, you need specific and precise topology. if the topology is bad in certain spots, when the face has been rigged/animated, the topology won't deform properly and the model will look really bad. ZRemesher doesn't give you a lot of control when retopologizing, whereas a program like Blender or Maya allows you to directly place polys and customize the topology to make it perfect for animation and the rest of the character pipeline.

@@likely2explode thanks a lot. 👍

Only with a mouse. You would have to be insane to try to poly model with a tablet.

@@neilmarshall5087 andrew hodgson do, to avoid erist pain.

Its mainly for screenshots but you can also use it to write on another program

Blender user?? Students are their primary customer. Professional don't need flip normal tutorials.

@@nikolatesla5308 Wtf are you talking about?

@@kruz3d573 in simple words, I mean majority of their customers are students and giving free tutorial to students is stupid idea. Professional or high skill artist will simply Google things he needed. He will not buy tutorials just to get some answers but if you are professional modeller and you are Interested in texturing only then you will buy tutorials. My main point is majority of flip normal customer are students.

This comment thread is so funny lmao

@@nikolatesla5308 Do you realize that there are literally a 15-10 minutes part of one those paid courses which has an information that you will probably will never be able to find in google or online? There are certain, very specific and speedy workflows which those professionals/teachers who've worked in the industry with experience share and use. 1 or 2 tips from those paid courses could determine your chances of getting hired. Of course you can google basic/obvious sh*t. But what I mean is, the real learning experience comes when you actually start working in a successful studio. And they all have specific and efficient workflow that meets their deadline. These paid courses are valuable information for everyone including experienced/advanced CG Artists and Students! CGMA (CG Master Academy) have insanely expensive courses that costs $999 and has weekly term. And they pretty much teach the full industry's pipeline workflow. So yeah, paid courses including FlippedNormals are still valuable.

polymodeling organic models It's just a useless outdated time consuming approach. Sculpting is much faster and gives you better results. Plus, if you work in the industry you will always start from a basemesh. But also for personal projects is better to start from a basemesh

@@xM4NU97 I was about to edit my comment and say the same points you mention. But polymodeling is good for cartoon character creation like buzz from toy story, because you Don't need details.

@@nikolatesla5308 maybe, I don't make stylized characters but if I had to I think I would start in zbrush anyway and then just retopo. If you start with polymodeling I'm sure you will need later to adjust the proportions and the general look of the character anyway, because it needs to look right from all the angles, which is much easier and faster to do by sculpting

@@xM4NU97 yup, it totally depends on how good you are with sculpting.

@@nikolatesla5308 right, in the end everyone chooses the method that works best for them

@Zed i just asked why .like does it has some quality of life features built in? why they used it for this video .like advanced loop tools?

Maya is still the tool that is use in production on actual work, there are decades of custom tools and pipelines build around it. If the idea is to be useful to the most amount of ppl you go to the most used tool in production environments; You must go Maya/Max. Either way, poly modelling is a generic technique, it translates to any tool.

@@ReneAlex love max ,but that i cannot buy it is crazy

@@thrassthrak9091 You can use it for 30 days for free, after that you can pay the $280 a year for the indie. If you can afford netflix and an ISP you can get Max, or maybe not, I'm here to judge, millions use it without paying either way. $280 a year, it's quite a low bar for a +25 years old software that almost everybody in the industry knows or use. Even if you are not a full time 3dsmax user, having the skill is a big plus in the industry. In the other hand, Blender is free, but it's not yet a standard in the pipelines of many studios. The good thing is that there are options.

@@ReneAlex thx for thr info 🙂

It's less about the result, more about the workflow and techniques.
