Hi Jeff, sorry to disappoint, but you were not the audience for this video. I adjunct at Drexel University, and I made this for video for the introductory Maya class, which is for people who have likely never used Maya before. This video is something I occasionally use in just the second lesson, a point when when many first timers, don't even know making a pipe is an option, and they still struggle with the UI and navigating the attribute editor efficiently. This is meant to be more of an introduction to snapping, and practicing combining multiple objects. I move so slowly so they can hopefully follow along without constantly pausing, despite both of these hinges being able to be modeled in probably less than 3 minutes. This isn't meant to be a hinges deep dive, as the video description would imply, making hinges at all is more of an afterthought. Maybe if I teach animation II at some point, which centers around modeling and animating a robot, I'll do a hinges deep dive. I hope you may have found something helpful on my channel, but the videos are more for my students than anything, I just make them public because I figured others may find them useful. And the more people I help the better.

No problem, Happy to help!

It's an aiStandardSurface shader. To make a quick workable shader I just replaced all of the values with the skin preset in the shader presets, then I gave it a transmission weight of 0.172, and tweaked the subsurface scatter color and radius to be more in line with that of a lampshade.

I just grabbed some wood textures from textures.com then put them next to each other in photoshop to make a test texture. www.textures.com/category/wood/427

Hi Rony. I might one day. But when it comes to roto match move animation there isn't really that much to go over. Once you set up your image plane in Maya it's just about placing your rigged character in front of it and tracing the animation best you can. You can see some examples of it in my student reel from years ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5ymgmWaiZqoeq8 And if you need help with camera matching I do already have a tutorial for that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpOwdYiaad2Yqrs I know that's not exactly what your looking for but it's a start for building the skillset.

@@matthewrotella8886 Thanks sir also if you can sir please also on these two topics as your next tutorials and that's is 1. Maya camera rig export as alembic cache file .abc to nuke 2. Road fracture fx to maya

hi there Rony, these tutorials are very helpful

Sorry it took me so long to get around to it, but I did finally make that skydome light tutorial if you are still interested: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYWzaHquaLV2pKM

Thank you. I am a freelancer, and I occasionally adjunct at Drexel University teaching the introductory 3D modeling class. I'm happy I was able to help. I suppose I could try and set up a Nuke comp of what you are asking for with the building. But I make no promises since I don't know if I'll have the time. But as some general tips for making any comp believable, just remember that having at least 3 layers to your comp will help set it in the space. Try not to make it too pristine. Perfectly clean looking assets is an easy way to tell something is computer generated. Dust, dirt, and grit are your friends. And lastly try and have your effect appear as though it reacts with something that is in your live-action background plate. That interaction between layers will always help make it look believable.
