So satisfying. Doing things with group instances is my new jam in Maya.
Finished with the modelling.

Sorry about the HDR blow-out. But these hinges look like they have been left out for the texturing! Is it me? or is the metal painted that way? I do not think so, because the handle looks right. The colours look like material map IDs.

This might be a bit of a random burn... but the water in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is worse than Mario Sunshine. It looks like a gigantic puddle. The scale and frequency is so bad.
And while we at it, the way the world has been constructed, it is so unbelievable.

I have finished the sculpting stage of my chest!
Next is preparing a low poly version with some UVs to pass the detail across.
This is a few millions of polis so it is certainly not game ready yet.

I got a hard surface model ready to sculpt some details in Zbrush, Pretty excited! I have prepared this chest for a high poly to low poly excercise to use with Marmoset Toolbag to teach how to bake using bake groups.

I made a new Modeling tip in Maya, how to use the Bridge tool. I am getting closer at using more advanced or mid-range level tips and techniques. However if there is anything you would like to learn, let me know and I'll make a video specially for you! (Maya, Painter, Zbrush)

I have released a new tutorial video.
youtu.be/7trUBFDdxPc?...
This is about the "filling hole" Maya command, but also I cover how to fix the N-Gon after it has been created, and I come with a few techniques on this.
Next I shall release a video about the Bridge command!

I have thankfully just discovered #Indika And it is such a bold, unique and beautiful game. I have only played a few hours and I do not want to spoil too much about it.
That said, you do play as a Nun, that has a voice in her head, and travels in the world. However there is a little bit more.

I wanted to showcase some of the work that my students have been doing in the past few years at AIE. It is so nice to see after a couple of years what these amazing people can achieve. Link below!

I watched yesterday the new animated Lord of the Rings movie: youtu.be/gCUg6Td5fgQ?...
And I had a huge problem with its art direction. Most shots, every character had this intensified thick continuous "rim" lighting (similar to what What If does) and it breaks massively the composition...

I am doing some Pre-production. I was sculpting some rocks to do a rock garden, but then I thought I need something with story to gain better attraction. So I wanted to incorporate Pilgrimage. I did this thumbnail to think about composition and the golden ratio. I need to work a bit more on the tree

Oh, And one last thing! I also been pretty busy releasing some youtube videos about Maya intro techniques, however I will advance at doing more complex workflows in the future. I shall release a new video soon about the fill hole command in Maya. This is my Channel!

Also, just to disclose my plan on what I am doing next with my portfolio. I made a video for my AIE students on how to plan for the future to carve a better portfolio.
These thumbnails are not my work, but an idea of the kind of portfolio id like to work towards my future.

I have joined the vast blue sky! Not sure if joining another social media is a solution. But Let's see how we go here. Hoping there's less toxicity, division and brain washing doom scrolling material.
