Awesome. Thanks man. I'm glad I can help you out. I try and put up like 2 or 3 videos a day after work so keep an eye out if you're really serious about learning Maya. We'll be going into some advanced topics sooner or later and branching off from this series as well. Thanks again!

Dude thank you, i've been using other rtutorials and i'm not that familar with Maya, in other vids they just jump to different things thinking you know what they're doing, but i don't, you actually teached me alot in 6 mins, i cant imagine how much i'll learn if i follow everything (which i definitely will) thanks alot, i appreciate it. For that, i'll suscribe to you XD

By: RyanTaylor3D. on 06 Oct 08, 02:11:58
Hey, I reconsidered. I mean if I'm not helping people out why even make the tutorials in the first place, right? Your request for extrude tips is rendering out of after effects as we speak. Look for it in a half hour or so. : )

Gotcha' I'll keep ...

Gotcha' I'll keep checking in then.

Totally. It should ...
By: RyanTaylor3D. on 06 Oct 08, 00:22:31
Totally. It should be about 6 or 7 videos until we're at the modeling stage though :/. My intention for the series is to go from very basic beginner to advanced modeling and sculpting. We still have several things until we get there, unfortunately. Hang in there though. I want to be doing those tuts just as bad. I just don't want to leave anyone behind. : ) Thanks for your views and support.

Are you going to be ...
By: TremorFang. on 06 Oct 08, 00:14:38
Are you going to be doing a tutorial on extruding at some point? just asking cuz', that's my current weak point.

Nice one! Full Sail rocks my socks. There are a ton of people that will say otherwise but you'll find out who those people are. Tell all your 3D f-ers(as I liked to call them :P) about my tuts. I can use as much support as possible.

Posted by: RyanTaylor3D

Video duration: 445 seconds

Hi-res: http://www.youtube.c om/watch?v=pfWpe04GR Qo&fmt=18
Intro to this new series about creating clean topology and understanding what things are such as 'edge flow', 'edge looping' and 'topology'.
Also how to optimize your model and get rid of illegal geometry like non-manifold geometry, n-gons, etc., and the difference between modeling for film and games.

By: RyanTaylor3D. on 26 Nov 08, 00:08:09
Appreciate it. :) As for the wireframe what I personally do is save a playblast of the same animation or still with surface shaders on everything that are white. turn on wireframe on shaded and when you do combine those frames with your animation over top in after effects or photoshop with a multiply blend mode the white won't make a difference and the wireframe will be sitting on top of it. I think that's a little confusing so I might just make a video. Thanks for your question. :D

Do you mean inside a program like Maya or Zbrush or when you render out? This is a very general question.

Well the zbrushed versions of these are close to 12 million each. But as far as the bases go, those other numbers apply.

Wow I really ...

Wow I really expected to hear that they were insanely high, but I'm surprised.

For the base meshes ...
By: RyanTaylor3D. on 26 Oct 08, 01:12:56
For the base meshes they are all pretty high because I wanted a good starting point before I Zbrushed them. Eli is 28,000 including clothing, planks, gun etc. The crocodile's base is 8,500 including enviro, lily pads, etc. And Sierra, the little girl's count is 6,500 with tree, ground, swing etc. Having said that, the poly count doesn't mean a model is good. I think we all have seen people crank up a bad character to 6 million and it looks terrible. Also, thanks for the kind words. :D
