[PolygonCore]

@legendrynoobhunter Who are you?



[Mini10studios]

@legendrynoobhunter You obviously didn't take classes in proper english either.

[PolygonCore]

@Mini10studios :p.

[NAKNStudios]

What did you do at 2:16

[PolygonCore]

@NAKNStudios I set the pivot point in the corner (insert key)

[PolygonCore]

@ThePantsOfSociety Yeah its expensive, but the games/movie industry offers good money. Plus you can get the student version.

[ThePantsOfSociety]

this program costs $3,495

[EddswitchEngage]

@ThePantsOfSociety But the student edition is free :D

[PolygonCore]

@EddswitchEngage Exactly lol

[Xebrem]

@EddswitchEngage but it only lasts for three years- and you have to be a student. and MAYA is almost impossible to use without being taught. (I should know- I didn't know how to use blender or MAYA until I went to a CGarts course...

[PolygonCore]

@Xebrem 3 years is long enough, plus you don't have to be, maya is not impossible when you haven't been taught. I never got taught Maya at college (Aaron) but I'm ok using it, Fred is much better because hes got 5-6 years under his belt, I've only got 1.

[wutaneownz]

could anyone send me what he did at 4:56 , I don't have photoshop so I can't do this part.

[PolygonCore]

@wutaneownz We was selecting for example the creepers face, opening a new file and saving it as Texture-CreepersFace (example). Then we would go into Maya, select the face on the model and then apply that texture to its face.

[TheAtomicusBomb]

Good thing about minecraft is that its all blocks lol so easy to build in maya, even I might be able to try this :D great vid ^_^

[PolygonCore]

@TheAtomicusBomb Hahaa ;), thanks and thanks for the comment :P.

[ItsTheDominic]

anyone help, when i go create UVs i got some mixing colors... 6:12

[PolygonCore]

@ItsTheDominic In the setting of Planar Mapping make sure you got the Fit projection to Best plane 06:44

[ItsTheDominic]

@PolygonCore thanks but i have another problem, the creeper face is rotated on left...

[3sDRuleZ]

[kickesquid56]

and how do you get the cubes grey mine are just blue boarders

[zhajyandz]

@kickesquid56 over the place where you see what you have made there is a row with symbols click the one thats a transparent cube

[kickesquid56]

@zhajyandz THANX

[zhajyandz]

@kickesquid56 no problem

[kickesquid56]

wheres edit mesh

[NAKNStudios]

How do you insert?

[PolygonCore]

@NAKNStudios Insert edge loop? Edit mesh > Insert edge loop, then select anywhere on your model.

[aysaspades]

it says i need to turn on convert selection and i cant find that it say // Warning: polyProjection works only on polygonal faces; Try turning Polygons->ToolOptions->Convert­Selection On. where is this stuff cant find it

[PolygonCore]

@aysaspades Select Window > Settings/Preferences > Preferences. Then under Settings select Modeling > Polygons and make sure Convert component selection is ON

[marcselo1]

@aysaspades Hey, at 0:37 where you edit the size of the box I haven't got a box at the right side

[aysaspades]

@marcselo1 theres a switch on the right side click it then click the input thing and there it is

[PolygonCore]

@aysaspades Thanks :).

[PolygonCore]

@marcselo1 Display > UI Elements and tick Channel Box / Layer Editor

[marcselo1]

@PolygonCore thanks :)

[AfroNinja720]

when i try to add texture it doesnt work right

[PolygonCore]

@AfroNinja720 why? what's wrong

[AfroNinja720]

@PolygonCore i have no idea how to explain it but i do the real-time render thing that you did to see if it worked and it was still blurry

[PolygonCore]

@AfroNinja720 make sure when you load your file texture, you change the Filter Type to OFF 06:03

[aysaspades]

where do you get the creeper template i dont know how to make them the link that says creeper texture thing dosent work for me

[PolygonCore]

@aysaspades the creeper texture is available on the minecraft folder at 3:05 or on google image. The links in description work for me, I can send you the .rar in pm

[aysaspades]

@PolygonCore could you that would be helpful i want to make a mine craft movie but i need characters could you also show us how to make the other mobs from minecraft

[jordannw2010]

Isnt there a way to make it unwrap to use a normal texture? Im new to maya ( just switched from blender ) and it seems a bit too overcomplicated so far..

[PolygonCore]

@jordannw2010 Can you explain more, I d'ont understand what you mean.

[jordannw2010]

@PolygonCore Like, unwrap the cubes into the nets of the cubes, and then arrange the net so that you can just put in the game's textures so that the texture doesn't need to be modified in order to be used in maya.

[PolygonCore]

@jordannw2010 Yeah you can, but the original texture is 64x32 pixels and in the UV editor in my Maya, the texture was blurry so I wasnt be able to use that way.

[Cod5ProKilller4EvEr]

You Realy Helped Me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Cod5ProKilller4EvEr]

[iSoldierHD]

@iSoldierHD Select first, the "Polygon" menu on the top left side or push F3 on keyboard.

[TheChelck]

Great tutorial! But I was able to use the UV Editor and it worked great!

[PolygonCore]

@TheChelck Thanks man :)

[NewScapePro]

[PolygonCore]

@NewScapePro Glad you liked it!

[Athomield]

i want to play minecraft

i dont know why all pleople like it

link to the website please ?

[PolygonCore]

@Athomield Link here : minecraft. net

[insaneafroguy]

What do you mean "Insert" at around 2:39?



[PolygonCore]

@insaneafroguy Clicking 'insert' on your keyboard will let you change your pivot point. Fred was changing his pivot point at this time so thats why I said click it.

[insaneafroguy]

@PolygonCore Thanks alot!

[F1ashFLUDD]

When I clicked on Viewpoint 2.0 it says "Rendering mode is not supported by graphics card. Switching to default rendering"...is there I way to fix this or do I have to buy a $1000+ laptop?

[PolygonCore]

@F1ashFLUDD Try to update your GC drivers. You can also check on Autodesk Maya Services & Support website if your hardware laptop is certified.

[F1ashFLUDD]

@PolygonCore How would I update my GC drivers?(I honestly don't know what that is...)

[PolygonCore]

@F1ashFLUDD try to find updates about your graphic card on your laptop manufacturer website

[F1ashFLUDD]

@PolygonCore it still doesn't work...looks like I have a bad graphics card. Time for me to start saving up for a $2000 laptop.

[chillowHD]

@PolygonCore yeh i do, thats why i dn't make video's lolz, just be more exited to talk in your video's cousei almost fell asleap

[kukikarlolukaps3]

Have you used basic white Lambert for the background in the final render or what?

[PolygonCore]

@kukikarlolukaps3 No i composed it in Photoshop, but you can use a lambert or change to white the background color in camera environment attribute.

[kukikarlolukaps3]

@PolygonCore oh ok, and how do i set it to be in really high quality?

[kukikarlolukaps3]

i dont keep a track of your subs, bur i think you got a few with this tutorial :D

[kukikarlolukaps3]

where can you find a link for a subscribe page?

[motanium]

how do you do the UV of the creeper? Please try not to skip steps =(

[PolygonCore]

@motanium Hey, we didn't skip a step, the UV was to show that no matter how clean your UV is, the texture would not fit or it would become to blurry. Fred shows you have to do it the correct way selecting a face, create UV's and then planar map.

[motanium]

@PolygonCore oh, okey then. I will try to finish it later. It was just confusing because when I was able to pop up the uv texture editor my shapes where different

[PolygonCore]

@motanium No problem, we was just trying to show that UV mapping the creeper was a bad idea, so Fred showed an alternative, hope it helps.

[TacticalPr0ducti0ns]

God damn it... I un-installed maya yesterday cause I had it for months but never learned how to make anything MC related.... :/

[kukikarlolukaps3]

AWWWWW YEA! :D

[garrettdw2]

I just used Lightwave to make this(: Thanks!! (:

[MuggyZuggy]

haha, looks sick!

[PolygonCore]

@MuggyZuggy thanks mate!
