Hey Pixelbahn!

I’m a “3d newbie” and I really enjoyed your tutorial, very good!! many many many thanks for that!! :buttrock:
I have two wishes though:

First wish. I didn’t wanna use a bump-map for the text on the rim. So I’ve tried lookin for a tutorial covering how to import illustrator “paths/nodes/vectors” to maya and converting them to polygons which are mergeable with the rest of the polygon objects… It actually looks like you have done just that in the picture? :eek:

Second wish. I really want a tutorial on how to make a realistic looking tire, with ofcourse “polygon logos”…

:bowdown:

Hi,

it’s me again under this thread… I’ve made another in depth videotutorial from start to finish on how to model, texture and render the “Rolex Daytona”. It’s split into 58 videos in HD720… something about 8hours of tutorial.
Modeling is done in Maya, UVlayout in Headus, texturing in Photoshop and Maya and finally rendered with Mental Ray.

just checkout my youtube page:

Anyone know of any good head texturing tutorials, especially ones that deal with UVs and procedural stuff like fractals? It can be text or video based, I just need it from someone who knows the way the game and movie industry textures heads in Maya. I guess it could even be a 3dsMax tutorial.

This is my First Post here…I am thankful to the Maya community for helping and advising…

Im starting a new tutorial series for Maya beginners, the plan is to have 1 or 2 new tutorials every week. The content will be based on the MEIS for Maya.

The first part that Im covering is UI/Scene Management
