Hey guys, I am no longer actively developing this, but as there's a lot of interest in it I decided to release the source files for the last version I worked on some months ago. Feel free to pick it up and continue dev and add features. The script has 2 functions, the workplaneon and workplane off commands. Basically…

Since my last post I have been extremely busy researching how to create a rig (as this is actually the first rig that I have created in Maya), actually making the rig and creating the textures for the model. I started by reading Animation Methods: Rigging Made Easy by David Rodriguez and Rig It Right! by Tina OHailey,…
I don't know why there is so much hate for Maya, the only thing that i don't like is the rental plan because a perpetual is always better if priced fairly and if you are doing freelance works every month but Maya LT is not expensive at all. It is priced at 311 € for 1 year that means 26 € per month or 36 € for one month if…
I have tried a number of different methods when it comes to character creation and asset building. My general work flow now is a low to high process which goes as follows. 1. Model Character/Asset in Maya. 2. Take asset into 3D Coat and unwrap 3. Use zBrush to apply Diffuse and normal maps. 4. Edit new textures in…
I'm a 3dsMax user but my company is using Maya for the project~ I'm not much familiar with Maya due to this sudden but I try to research as much as I can~ After discuss with my friend (Maya user), here's the different between both software~ Please inform me if something was wrong or had a better solution, thank you~ ^^…
For modeling it's a matter of preference nowadays. The real difference comes when you must do more technical work such as uv mapping, retopo and similar. In that case there are softwares that are more advanced and fast than others. Blender was my first software, then i switched to Maya and used it for 5 years, in the…
Poly count does matter, if you're going into a realtime game and even if you're rendering, you want to make sure your models have just enough polys to hold the detail but not an excessive amount that they cause other systems (rendering nodes and player machines) to chug. There are other external factors at play most of the…
Wow where to begin... there is so much to cover its hard getting a post started. There is a lot to learn and quite a few areas to focus on. You listed off a barrage of things that each take years to master so you need to narrow your scope a bit. I think its best if beginners sample a little bit of everything and see what…
Oh if i had placed specific examples it would be much longer post. Observe and feel free to split the conversation to some other thread because I think we highjacked this nice thread here but i think that everyone will learn something out of it :) at least some 3dsmax\maya tips for those who are unaware of their existence.…
