[7xXAfflictionXx7]

I wana drive that ant mech :o

[ihopeutubedies]

U can't take criticism?

[TpAcTuKa]

Shouldn't the Spider have 8 feet?

[andoi9292]

Reminds me of a baby Pyro from TF2~!

[enjoiskate11]

oh wow you must use these for a game! it looks great

[omenofwonders]

jack bauer FTW!

[GearsOfWar2Elite]

niceeeee dude

[friskification]

nice work!

[MarchandVenter]

sweet man can i ask u plzz how u captured it so smoothly

[tomcokis]

Was your 'employer' working for a childrens tv show?

[demaoA]

beautiful model ;)

[alex51508]

very nice work.... im taking my first 3D modeling class using maya 2009 and just getting into NURBS please tell me you used polygons for the majority or geometry because NURBS arnt sticking with me at this point

[MRT408]

nurbs are only good with curves... polygons are better if you want to manipulate you shapes.

[runedawn]

nurbs are good to make organic kind of models. Like a bottle or a vaze for instance. Its near impossible to do anything else with it :/ I dont recommend it, even i moddel all my stuff with polygons.

[mandeepbr]

Nice works...

[TremorFang]

pretty impressive. I hope to get this good while I am here at college...

[pandoratommorow]

nice video man...

i use Maya 6......its an obsolete version..

.

.

I should have bought Maya 9 last december.. for my own christmas gift ^_^.. but I was tempted on buying "Softimage XSI 7"

I compared both of the Softwares... *maya* *XSI*

both of this softwares are fine with different optional platform creation... it just depends on how you use it ^_^...

I always wanted the Face robot... but my money can't afford it @_@... oh well.... i just need to earn more money ^_^!...

[xmrwaffles2]

ya face robot is 19 000 dollars good luck and its not worth it really it isnt.

[Jackpotur]

19 000!!!????? what the?!!! pirate bay winz

[sharpyne5]

Uhh one thing... i'm starting to use Blender, is it similar to Maya or they have some significant differences? Thanks...

[Icarcus]

like comparing an old rusty car to a luxury hybrid.

autodesk is high end!!!!

i have 3ds max 9 and maya, maya has some pre made things in it but the interface is horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[p44v9n]

lucky you have both :)

maya has an ugly UI yeah, but if you open the plugins thing there is loads of stuff,

you can sculpt, and do matchmove traacking, and stuff.

[thing is i'd use Zbrush and Boujou for those, but whatever]

[HuntersX2NCreations]

Your work resembles my cousings, thats freakin back ass.

[lllPliskin250lll]

That's really impressive! ^^

Be kool to see more from you.

[petertalis]

Go to myspace(.)com/uptowntat2 to see what I did in both fields...

[alecchalmers]

lol

[petertalis]

yeeehaaaa!

[petertalis]

Okay. One more time because some smart asses wont get it.

this is my personal showreel I did for fun. Its by no means intended to be a reel one would use to get a job. And if it were one, I would for sure not host it on youtube, but burn it on a DVD and send it to some of those fucked up anim studios. I spent almost 20 years in that industry and I'm so very much over it you wouldn't believe. There is nothing out there I treat with more disrespect than this very industry and its ass-lickers FTW

[petertalis]

Why do I hate this industry so much?

Mainly because it exploits the artist to the max... and because of all the annoying geeks, standing next to you and giving smart comments, as well as the horrible competitive behavior everybody seems to have in this business. It has so nothing to do with what people think of it. To me, working in this industry was a nightmare and I'm glad I can do my own art, In my own shop as an tattoo artist now. Its far more rewarding than working on a 3D feature. Peace!

[nameno1elsehas]

@petertalis well this is a really late response to ur comment, but I find that competition always causes people to do the best they can. The sense of competition is what fuels people's motivation. However, competition can bring out the worst in some people. If you think the 3D industry is not right for you, well then there's nothing anyone can really do about that. You only got 1 chance to life your life (well unless ur a Hindu), so do what you really want with no regrets :)

[fataxel]

@petertalis well,as for 20 years of work in the field,your work looks unimpressive...even mediocre. It's not people's fault that you are emotional and can't handle the pressure of being a 3d/2d artist. As for the tatoos,some of them are impressive,but many show a huge lack of drawing skill..it' like they were 2 persons doing them

[kade12321]

@petertalis despite the fact that u wrote the comment two years ago i just have to say ur shitty with the animation industry because u cant get a break uve spent 20 years in the industry and have nothing to show 4 it did u ever stop to think maybe its because u create crappy models like these 2?

[Spawn584]

@kade12321 You are all haters lets see you do better butt fucks

[Verbal696969]

Ok, well your modeling is decent. As I'm sure you've heard, you need to show wireframes. Also some textures would be nice, and I can't see a rim light. Use standard 3 point lighting (1 directional, 1 rim and 1 fill light. Get rid of the ground plain for the gas mask character, and use a decent BG for all models.

Keep on working, its looking good.

-Robert

[petertalis]

Dude thanx. But I dont think I "need" to do fuck all. I'm not a 3D professional and I dont want to be one. I used to work as a conceptual designer until jan 08. Creating concepts which 3D people modeled and textured. I just do that stuff when I'm bored. So... I for sure dont have to do anything else but posting my stuff the way I want to.

Thankls anyways for your smart ass comments ;)

[smegheeed87]

nicely put mate, the artist has a right to do what ever their inspiration tells them! keep up the good work!!!

[alecchalmers]

You're an idiot, I'm sure you'd take back your comments if you found out that guy was head of the modelling department at bungie.

He clearly knows what he's talking about and don't pretend this is just some muck about video, you called it a showreel, people don't make showreels of stuff they're just playing around with.

[petertalis]

alecchalmers...

I got some news for you. this is a free world and I can name my video whatever I want, even it might upset a few dickheads like you and might trigger some great heads of modeling department pricks to feel like, they must tell me how to do better. Oi,. I dont fucking care about my modeling, nor do I give a damn about the name of my SHOWREEL, SHOWREEL, SHOWREEL. Back off mate!!!

[InaudibleThud]

Hey friend. It sounds like you need to invest in some hemorrhoid cream. Just chill out ok?

[petertalis]

how the the heck did you figure out that I've got piles pal??? you a medium or something? can you please recommend something out of your own experience?

dude, I did this bloody SHOWREEL fur fun only. I'm sooo sorry for calling it SHOWREEL. Please forgive a stupid fucking idiot who cant even see, that its not alright to post a video named SHOWREEL on youtube... WITHOUT WIREFRAMES!!! oh my loord. buhuuu, how bad am I! I'm sorry head-of-modeling-department-gu­ru-god-like-pal!

[InaudibleThud]

Congrats. You just flamed someone for giving you quality feedback.

If I was to say your showreel wasn't worthy of anywhere near 80,000 hits, that would be a smart arse comment. Valid nonetheless.

[petertalis]

ROFLMFAO!!!!

Are you guys gay or simply retarded??? Who gives a fuck what anybody says on YOUTUBE!!!! Its not a platform for smart asses to tell people what to post and how to post it! I dont care if he's peter jackson or god himself who gives me a "quality" (laugh) feedback on my shit. so do me a favor and keep your verbal diarrhea to yourselves.

And btw, I'm a pro conceptual artist for x-box 360 games myself and I worked with people you dicks wont even talk to in your entire lives! LMFAO!!!!

[Gothxha]

Okay, im about to take up Maya just one question - Painting. What program is good to use to paint your 3d models. Can you do it in Maya?

[Alacoque3030]

how do i render all frames at once? I can only render them one at a time manually

[DerKleineMaximilian]

you need to batch render them

[Alacoque3030]

i do that but it doesn't do anything. do I just need to wait a while?

[petertalis]

do you output the files as single frames (psd files), or as avi movie? you should batch render your frames as single photoshop files. the avi export didnt work for me either. use a programm such as premiere to import the frames and then make a movie out of it.

[lunarshift]

superb

[a55a55inx]

woah...that ant is loaded...haha

[IPlay4Real]

That's f-ant-astic! 5+ :-)

[trini19140]

Hey I just got this program and I know nothing about it....anybody have any recommended beginner tutorial sitez? Thankx

[supertaylrock1]

if you can...find an "internal drive's tech camp class near you"

i just did and its pretty good....

right now is the second week and im usin the ut3 editor w00tz

[SacredDNA]

Go to Google and just Type Video Tutorials for maya. Is the fastest way you can learn watching others newbs going trhough the basics lol

[debiancoder]

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Aglisons]

That is amazing, I recomend you try zbrush, I think you would b amazing at it

[nolanb0y]

is maya a good model engine?

[awdrgy123]

maya is Crazy good, but hard to master, the guy in the vid has it down

[SlowAndSteady2]

Go with Maya.

Stay with Maya.

[tapan541]

@SlowAndSteady2 Fuck with maya

[acoolnorwegian]

amazing models^^, i saw your comment and agree. classes destroy creativity :S you gotta find your own way^^

[snatchviper]

really clean models, love the gassmask dude, awsome

[scottvincent123]

Hi great video can you tell me what GPU I should go with I was thinking of Firegl 5600 but before I make this purchase, I was wondering if a ati 3870X2 would be just as good for Maya. I am going to be taking classes to learn MAYA and have to build a workstation and I dont know what card to buy. My motherboard is asus Z7S and it is crossfire ready. Thanks for any help you can give me.

[Sebsnowman]

You don't have to take any class to learn maya.

Taking class ruins all of the originality and

and fun of making that kind of stuff.

Btw, i just made a new 3d model but my

computer froze when i was about to save it.

Pisses me off. Anyways, nice model. :)

[hatemmonem]

nice drawing modeling and nice music :)

im graphic designer :)

[tici456]

seriusly im planning on being that when i grow up can you tell me what it takes to become one =D

[petertalis]

I think the soundtrack is from Morcheba bro

[boxtroll]

It's Kruder Dorfmeister

[Jackmyster99]

next time it comes on tv i will look out for things like that :).

[Jackmyster99]

really!!! sweet lol i love it

[petertalis]

I did layouts for "staines down drain". which includes a lot of traditional drawing.

[Jackmyster99]

lol 1:08 is a cartoon character on saturday dysney. i forget the name of it tho

[petertalis]

yeah man! I was working on that show :)

[pikachuiluvyou]

gasmask guy would make a great vinyl toy.

[tjmixmasta]

Excellent!

Your models have such character and finish to them. :)

Any tips for an aspiring conceptual artist?

[SeriousIlya]

wow nice work!

i always enjoy drawing these little cool creatures... better start modeling :)

also the music was awesome!

and therewas hell of a lot of detail in the caracters!

nice demo r whatever you wan to call it, just one trhing that bigs me. Everyone seems to post nice looking models, ut because most of them such as this one lack of textures, it looks worse than it would with some photoshop efford in it ;)

but keep on goin!

[nivadalinux]

wetwew what a great work for that dude? how long have you been working on that? i like your imagination............. keep it up bro...

[mrkrazie89]

Love the mech-ant ... i too will love to see it with material and motion

[anirazor]

i like the gas mask guy

[johnaast]

This is really impressive, as you are a conceptal artist, i have a great respect for your imagination! Its conceptual drawings that you make that give most 3d modellers inspiration! I really like your mech ant! I think its really cool, an would love to see if with materials applied.

[PiXaLDeSiGn]

woow man great job

[staghound]

May I ask what xbox 360 developer do you work for? And how did you get into doing concept art because that's really what I want to do as well. Thanks for any tips!

[Gqgangsterz10]

You have alot of talent bro I have the most trouble with my sketchs which is so important lol.

[monkwhy]

nice work man.. im looking for work in the same field..

- MonkWhY -

[ChewySatisfaction]

The uncensored version of this move..... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA dont you just love bots.

[harki72]

hai its so nice the 2 charecter is so relastic.

[grim36]

dude bad ass job on this

[rapture55122]

are you kidding me?! you use maya for hobby? I know graphic design professors who say maya goes over their head! talent, congrats.

[Garfler]

They are just too old I guess. Check out my vid, I'm gonna use it for a hobby(if it becomes a hobby which I doubt) if I just could afford it... anyways I'm only 13, but I'm not as good as that guy he's really good.

[dannymonday]

Awsome!!! keep up the good work!

[praheal]

cool! man maya is hard lol

how long you used it?

[Alec013]

That's crazy work! what did you use? Z Brush?

I have ZBrush 3, but im still learning.

post some tutorials for the software you're using! :D

would help everyone.

[saqibtoofat]

i wish i could do that aweson stuff

[msndokaralho]

Great models

[GUNOT301]

hell yea man i wish i could do that shit looks awsome

[stevenaball333]

Im desperate to get into 3D design but dont know what to spend my money on, a P.C or Mac? 3DS Max or Maya? Please someone give me some idea where to start, my forte is character design.

[viceoffire]

well, i wouldnt really know, but maya is used more for movies than 3ds max i hear, and 3ds max more for games. dont take my word for it though. but definitely get a pc, just for the reason than theyre more easily upgraded and parts are cheaper. cheers

[jerobi5000]

how long have you been using maya? looks pretty damn good if you just started. I hate to see what you can do with zbrush, silo or mudbox.

[petertalis]

Cheers folks for all the friendly feedback :) You're an awesome bunch.

One thing tho, cause some peeps where asking for textures. My vid is supposed to be a modelling reel since I'm a modeller and designer, rather than a texture artist. Sorry for the missing kick tho.

I hope some people can still enjoy it a little.

Awesome!

Cheers heaps and talk to you soon.

Peter

[solo884]

Hey Man you're good!!! I took Maya for two quartes and all i can do are symple animation

[mailrobert]

god work but where are textures????

[DDRpwnerer]

My Maya broke'd... I can't use any of the manipulation tools (Rotate, stretch, or move) so yeah. I don't wanna' punch numbers all day. :/

[nokow]

very nice the gas mask man!!!

i would like to see that works with textures.. :P

maya & cinema4d rulez !!

[crumby99]

I really liked the last two models! Very niiiice.

[bioter]

nice first model

[roninsmine]

I am a 3ds max 9 user but I have maya 8 and never have time to touch it, is the shader effect on the ant model just the default effect after modelling or did you use a shader, I've been modelling for years but have only begun to texture let alone come up with my own shaders.

[d3mon3y3s]

really tnx man your an insparation.. because im also a self-study graphic artist in photos.. but i want to study MAYA also.. tnx for the tip!!

kip it up bro!

-fr philippines

[d3mon3y3s]

nice i wish could study maya.. =(

help!!

[petertalis]

I didn't study it bro :) start with something easier. like cinema 4D. same concepts. once familiar, turn to maya. easy :)

[fransodendaal]

great modeling,w0w-would be fucking amazing if there was some texturing!! nice man keep it going

[petertalis]

cheers for da feedback dude. was planning to texture it, but I'm too busy with my "real" job right now.

[Numbah51]

Some Amazing Work Here.  Very Nice

[petertalis]

Thanx bro :)
