3DMotive - New Workflow Series: The Treasure Chest

Jeff Parrott

Hey everyone here is vol 1 of a video series I did with 3dMotive.com.

It covers block out mesh creation in Maya and prepping for ZBrush sculpting. There's a bunch more to this video series. Hopefully people have as much fun watching it as I had working on it with them.

I just wanna say.... thank you so much for finally giving Maya some love over at 3DMotive! This looks awesome, and I have so many unfinished projects that will really benefit from a solid wood sculpting workflow.

I've never touched Maya (Max user) - if I watch this series, would that be an issue?

Jeff Parrott

Thanks Justin! The guys over at 3dmotive.com do a really good job of coming up with some videos and topics that aren't really out there that much (hand painted weapons, foliage in UDK, sculpting props, etc). I'm excited to see what they end up doing next.

If you have any questions about the wood workflow just ask. Just keep it simple would be my advice.

Jimmy most of the Maya stuff is pretty transferrable to Max/Soft/whatever. That's only 1/3 of the video really. Most of it is in ZBrush and Photoshop. Again if you have any specific Max/Maya questions just ask.

The highpoly looks incredible, really nice material definition! Congratulations on a job well done

I have some usefull knowledge of 3ds max, but I need to learn how to get around with maya since that's the tool I'll probably need to use for atleast the next 2 years.

Do you think this would help me in getting comfortable with it?

Jeff Parrott

@HP Thanks! You're the man. I have a hard time believing anything I've done can be of use to you. But appreciate the kind words either way.

@KarlWrang Thanks! I tried to keep the texturing straight forward. I wanted to get more in depth but I was already running really long.

@Seirei I do talk about the basic hotkeys for Maya. But it's not 3 hours of that. It's very fast paced through the basics. But they are covered. If you've used Max there should be enough to transition over.

Looks great! I might start a subscription now that there is a good amount of high quality content.
