Maya Modeling :: Possible To Make Star Consisting Of Squares To Model A Bit Easier

Mar 26, 2012

I have got a problem by modeling a roof. The first picture attached shows it right at the moment. I want to keep the star one can see in the center of the picture but the edges look at bit problematic because it consist of 3 former independent cubes. The edges are shown in the second picture.

My question is if it is possible to make the star consist of squares to model it a bit easier. I use maya 2012 education.

Maya Modeling :: How To Model A Cloth

Nov 9, 2011

I need to model a cloth in Maya 2012 as a part of a college assignment. I have attached a jpeg of my pre-production artwork, in it you can see the yellow cloth placed on two wooden planks. At the moment I am modelling the cloth by adjusting the vertices, but find it to be a bit tedious. Is there any other way for me get effective results. Since I am a beginner I would like to know the the different ways a little in detail.

Maya Modeling :: How To Boolean / Engrave Text Onto Model

Jun 12, 2011

Have a model of a camera that was made out of polys, whats the best way to boolean / engrave text onto the model? i tried tons of things, deleting history before boolean diff, combining the objects then extracting. Result is that it either doesnt work or deletes both my text and my object. I always try to boolean things in my model because i lack experience with creating and applying displacement maps.

How to achieve this using boolean diff or can they suggest what to use as reference to learn how to create displacement maps.

Maya Modeling :: How To Model / Create Next Section Of Garment

Feb 25, 2013

I'm modelling a complex curve for a fashion garment. I've always modelled in polygons in the past but have had more success on this project using nurbs, however I've got to a certain position and I'm wondering which way is the best way to model / create the next section of the garment(see image attached). Is it just the case of creating lots of section lines as lofting?

Maya Modeling :: Create Cross Sections Without Cutting Up The Model?

how to create cross sections without cutting up the model similar to applications like Autodesk Inventor? Maybe inserting a poly plane into the object and tell Maya to only render stuff in the normal direction of the plane if that is even possible?

Maya Modeling :: Rigging And Animation - Model Shoes And Socks

Nov 3, 2011

I am almost done with my model. He is in a naked state for the sake of making sure the anatomy is correct. I am preparing to rig, texture, and animate him. I plan on modeling the shirt and pants separate and use Maya's nCloth for those. I have also modeled glasses that are a completely separate mesh that will need to follow every movement of the head of my model.

Here is my issue, I am puzzled on how to model my shoes and socks.

1) Should i model them as part of the legs to eliminate further animation?
2) Should I model thee shoes and socks separate from the legs?

way to form a hierarchy where i can model everything individually and then make the main body rig a parent to everything secondary (shoes, socks, glasses, etc...)?

Maya Modeling :: Can't Make Vertices Go Away

Feb 17, 2012

Maya 12 Hotfix 2, MacOS 10.6.8

When I am selecting objects, even in object mode I am getting this onslaught of bright yellow vertices, as though I had vertices selected in preferences or hotkeys... but I don't. All that stuff is off in my preferences. I can't seem to make it go away. Can't see faces for all the vertices cluttering up the view. Happening in all the panels.

Maya Modeling :: How To Make A Symmetrical Texture Map For Character

May 9, 2012

I am currently trying to make a symmetrical texture map for my character.

For example, I want the arms of a character to share the same texture pattern.

But I can't place the UV shell corresponding to one arm on top of the piece corresponding to the other arm because it doesn't match without flip.

If I'm trying to flip this shell it becomes shaded with a semi-transparent red color. But all UV shells must be shaded with blue and have a clockwise winding order. Am I right ?

Is there a way to reverse the winding order so the UVs match the original half's without physically flipping the UV shell on the U or V.

Maya Modeling :: How To Make Geometry Like A Fever Chart

Apr 18, 2012

I'm working on a project that needs to make a renderable shape off a curve, the curve points are based on a random set of data - so basically I'm making a fever chart. I need the curve to go exactly along with the points, so I used bezier curve. The curve looks like pic-01

Since curve doesn't show up in render, so i'm trying to make a tube shape.
1) a polygon plane, then go edit mesh - extrude. like pic-02. The extrude division is the same amount of points
2) a nurbs circle, then go surface - extrude. like pic-03 and pic-04.

As you all can see, none of these two look good. I can understand that this is because the turns are too dramatic, but I wonder if there is a way to get around the limit and generate a graph like pic-05 in 3d.

Maya Modeling :: Can Make Scale Reflect The Actual Object Size

Jul 12, 2011

I have imported a model from C4D using the FBX importer, and everything was fine, except that it was way to big. I scaled it down to a more "manageable" size. So the scale reads 0.01 (All axis).

My question is, is there any way I can make Scale reflect the actual object size? Maya know these numbers, because they are present when using the universal manipulator tool. I would like it if the scene scale could reflect the real size of the object. So if i create a new object, the size relates to the size of the existing objects in the scene?

Can i put the real scale on the object, and then just "downscale the scene", so that the objects don`t appear giant? Like scene scale or something?

Maya Modeling :: How To Edit Symmetric Model With Non-symmetric UVs

Apr 17, 2012

I've created a model of a monkey in Maya. The model is symmetric along the X axis - however, the UVs are not.

I've just gotten to the stage where I'm rigging my model and discovered that I'm missing polygons for a finger joint on both hands. I'd like to insert some edge loops for this extra joint. I could do this by just adding the loops by hand, but if I do that, they'll be a little bit off and my model will no longer be symmetric. Alternately, I could delete the right half of my model, add the loops on the left half, and then mirror and merge my geometry. This would preserve the symmetry, but completely destroy the UV info on the right half of my model.

This seems like it would be a common modeling problem. Does Maya have a way I can add the extra cuts to my model, preserve symmetry and not force me to redo the UVs and texture map for my entire model?
