How to SMOOTH Geometry in Maya | Maya 2020 Tutorial for Beginners

[@Claragonza3]

Now i even get ahead of myself when i watch these and I'm even changing stuff to fit the style i prefeer. I feel I've learnt a lot, thank you

[@Claragonza3]

One thing tho. even though i've parented the liquid and bottle and they all move when i move one, everything moves at a different pace but i solved it grouping everything even though it's parented, hope it's okay!

[@sauravnath7542]

Very very helpful. Thanks a lot man

[@Kopite369]

Thanks for sharing Shane, I usually just grouped things together but "parenting" seems to be a better option. Cool bananas!

[@GameDevAcademy]

You're right, this was cool bananas. As for grouping and parenting, they work very similarly when moving, scaling etc. Where parenting really gets awesome is in animation.

Thanks a lot for tutorials! You're amazing teacher :) Unfortunately I stucked and I've got a problem with filling a hole (8:07). My hole is curved (round shaped) instead flat like yours. I tried to find a solution how to fix it, but I couldn't :( Could you help me please?

[@GameDevAcademy]

You might need to use append to polygon or bridge

[@xyuukachii]

Hello! I have a question. What exactly is the difference between parenting and grouping? When do I know which one to use??

[@darkestnutoftheabyss3641]

Thank you for the tutorials kind sir!!? I just have a small problem. When inserting edge loops with the multicut tool, after i"ve placed the edge loop and try to select the entire loop by double clicking (02:00), it only selects a section of the entire loop. Do you maybe know what the problem is and if there is a way to fix it? Once again, thank you so much for the tutorials. You've resparked my hope for 3D!!

[@ziadtheegy6271]

[@ziadtheegy6271]

[@carltongitimu6826]

[@ambreensaleem9499]

Sir i have problem...Some models do not change to smooth shape that turn into lines ...How do i fix it?

[@eevee727]

Hi. Loving this tutorial! But just wondering if I can buy your texture pack using a debit card or PayPal instead of a credit card? Thanks!

[@GameDevAcademy]

I know that you can definitely use debit card. Not sure about PayPal.

Hello again! My Maya crashed when I was in the middle of this video and I was not worried at first because I turned on incremental auto-save every 10 minutes at the very beginning like you showed - but then it turned out that after I manually saved my project in the afternoon by Ctrl + S - autosave stopped working for some reason and haven't saved anything from that time so I lost everything that I have done since then. So naturally I have a question now - what might be the case for the incremental autosave not working? I can tell right away that I have more than enough space on my harddrive where I store this project. Thank you in advance!

[@GameDevAcademy]

Look in the auto save folder and in the scenes folder. Sometimes incremental saves are put into folders in the scenes folder.

[@serebranka]

@@GameDevAcademy Thanks for the answer. Sadly relevant saves are still lost so I had to redo this lesson from the beginning - but on the bright side it got me to exercise in Maya a little bit more. Got some strange artifacts in the mesh at the bottom of the flask though - they look like tiny pikes and become visible only if I extrude too much. And it seems that you have a perfectly regular nice mesh. Why do such artifacts appear and could they bring problems in the future? If so - how do I get rid of them? Thank you again

[@gzarari]

will you learn us lightning and texturing?? These are amazing!

[@GameDevAcademy]

Yes. I cover texturing, UV mapping, lighting and rendering. Texturing begins in step 25.

[@GameDevAcademy]

I'm glad you're finding the tutorials amazing :)

[@gzarari]

@@GameDevAcademy thanks for doing the tutorials, i can find other ones but they usually are using maya 2011-2015. And alot have changed :)

[@GameDevAcademy]

That's why I'm doing this. I had one that I made using Maya 2016 but so much has changed that I knew I needed to make a new one.

[@Deadpoolish]

wow that wasn't soo hard to make it but it literally feels like i'm copying everything & mine will absolutely same as your :p but i am thinking i'll change the liquid colour in future although it will not be considered as "different" but still for my satisfaction, I'll try to change colors 😆

[@GameDevAcademy]

Don't worry, the next step is all about giving you a chance to be creative & to make sure that your project doesn't look exactly like mine :)

[@Deadpoolish]

@@GameDevAcademy nice, thats a really good news :D i'll try my best to show my imagination & creativity :p

[@GameDevAcademy]

Looking forward to seeing your work :)

[@brettmartens968]

when i press three on the keyboard it doesnt smooth??

[@GameDevAcademy]

Make sure you have the mesh selected

[@brettmartens968]

@@GameDevAcademy I did have it selected, but when i went to Mesh then smooth it did work

[@GameDevAcademy]

@@brettmartens968 mesh > smooth actually smooths the model. Pressing 3 only previews what will happen when you actually do smooth it.

[@brettmartens968]

@@GameDevAcademy hmmm for some reason it wasnt changing anything pressing 3

[@David-hi9rp]

just wanted to ask .. why are you using a laptop in many of you videos and not a deicated Games machine? have you up graded?

[@GameDevAcademy]

The laptop was all I had access to at the time. I have since upgraded (although only quite recently) and I now have much more powerful desktop.

[@David-hi9rp]

@@GameDevAcademy can I ask what have you got as I've got an 8 core windows running on M.2 drive and still it takes ages to load UE4

[@GameDevAcademy]

@@David-hi9rp the UE4 tutorials were made on my old PC. That wasn't as good :)

Hi , thank you for the tutorials! I have one problem. The glass has become BLACK! I want to know where I got wrong? Can I fix the problem, or create new one? Here is screen pic of the object: ibb.co/TTcYhnj. ( Edited 2 h later) You give me the solution in #27. No need to answer
