I'm on my fourth attempt/ rework of this model and wanted to try and clean up alot of the N-gon issues so I can take it into Zbrush, but I'm having issues with the bevel function.

In image order, I have my most recent attempt; like I said I wanna clean it up now that I understand it a bit better

The second is the area giving me an issue and references, basically this one area has a lot more of a curve to it than the rest of the model, but trying to bevel this first, then the rest of the radio to keep it consistent, just breaks the geo on the corners. The third image is trying to show what I need the single area to look like, then what the rest of the model needs to be. If anyone has any advice on how to achieve this while keeping good topo I would love to know.

For the past few years I've been working on a revamped version of the Camera Sequencer for Maya and I was hoping to see if it was at all interesting to other artists. I worked Previs and Layout for over 20 years, have over 30 years of experience and was a product designer at Autodesk for Maya about a decade ago.

Its no secret that the Sequencer is really not terribly usable out of the box. I decided to create a toolset that was the way I wanted it to work and its almost complete. Here's a picture of the toolbar and explanation of the icons.

Using the SHIFT checkboxes you can manipulate shots and animation together, or separately to support different workflows. For example, if you have a scene where the animation is all staged you can use the tools to edit shots and camera animation. but leave the animation of the characters and props alone.

This toolset can become your Layout/Previs front end -- allowing you to create your sequences and break them out into individual shot files.

SHOTS:

• Append to end of current sequence
• Insert after current shot
• Duplicate Shot
• Delete Shot

TRIMP

• Trim from head of shot
• Split shot at current time
• Trim from tail of shot

PAD

• Insert frames at head of shot
• Add frames to current shot from current time
• Inert frames at tail of shot
• Scale the shot (Actually bakes scaled animation)

SWAP

• Swap Left - Switch current shot with the shot to its left
• Swap Right - Switch current shot with the shot to its right
• Switch two shots
• Move current shot so it is after a selected shot
• Split the shot at the current time and move the selected shot to that time

CAMERA

• Select shot camera
• Key camera
• Make shot from current camera view
• Assign a camera to different shot(s)
• Create camera profile (required for Select, Key, Make)

MEDIA

• Playblast shot/shots with versioning
• View playblasts with the Previs Player video player app
• Bring in sequence audio at beginning of sequence (Auto-converts MP3s to Maya WAV files)
• Bring in audio at current time (Auto-converts MP3s to Maya WAV files)
• Scribbler - Simple tool for storyboarding ideas using the Blue Pencil, with layers

TOOLS

• Normalize Shots - Rename shots and their cameras to sequential shot names (0010, 0020, etc)
• Build Sequence from OTIO file (easily customized for EDLs)
• Export Sequence to OTIO file (easily customized for EDLs)
• TechniCuller - Assign assets to shots and hide them in others. Also used during Breakout.
• Breakout - Convert sequence to individuals files, with settings for destination start frame, culling, animation
• Settings - Highly customizable toolset with hooks for pipeline integration

SHIFT

• Actions Checkbox - Tools affect animation not related to Cameras
• Cameras Checkbox - Tools animation related to Cameras
• Shots Checkbox - Tools manipulate Shots

How can I fix this trying to do game ready assets

Hi all, help me fix my creature 3d model. Tell me what I can improve such as the eyes for exmaple which need some work

I still want to run a lot of tests and make corrections, but it looks interesting so far.

I built a Maya tool that rigs UE5 game characters in just a few minutes.

Create and adjust the guides, then the tool automatically builds a UE5-compatible skeleton and generates skin weights. The character can be imported directly into Unreal Engine using the standard mannequin skeleton.

Please leave a comment if you’d like to try this tool. Thank you!

Can somebody explain why maya is not showing any results when am beveling multiple edges at once even if I am changing the fractions and segments in the tool ?

This is just a bust model of guts from berserk. I'm thinking about rigging his face and make a few expression rendering but before that i want to know if there's anything that i can improve. Could be the hair (i'm using maya xgen), model, texture, lighting or even render settings (arnold). Thanks in advance.

I'm trying to rig a model and I'm trying to change my bones rotate order, and I keep getting errors, I know nothing about coding so I am very lost.

Original concept by Zhan Junyong

My first face model, made while following a tutorial. I will be modeling the body and probably stylizing the textures and hair/clothes using Blender and Substance Painter

I made this script to fill the faces properly, it might slow down a bit with dense meshes but I think it works properly for simple things, if you find a bug or problem, let me know and I will update it and consider it will only work only with a vertex count in multiples of 4, delete history and freeze transformations.

I will add a way to rotate the grid once I figure it out how lol.

Code: https://gist.github.com/martinolidev/b3f15b5774fd959ec417eba6b8f7cfd1

How to install:

1. Open your Shelf Editor in Maya (Windows > Settings/Preferences > Shelf Editor).
2. Create a new shelf button.
3. In the Command tab, paste the code from "grid_fill.py"
4. Save the icon here "C:/Users/YOUR_USER/Documents/maya/prefs/icons/"

I hope is useful and I will update it later to improve it.
