How to model a Coke can ( full tutorial ) Maya / Keyshot

[@warriormama13]

I came here for the texturing because others do not cover it in their tutorials. Thank you very much! I subbed!

[@poornasachintha1263]

your maya tutorials helped me a lot.including this one.they are very clear and successful.when i wanted to learn more about this 3d modeling subject not come source to learn it right.so what i've helped a lot of it i start.so thanks a lot..!

[@namelesshumanoidcat3400]

Well!! Thank you very much for this men.... I'm a Univ. Digital Media student, and I am so behind my lesson in 3D design because of sudden internet problems... And we're required to make this one and I don't know how to do it... So Thankss!!!

[@SydnificantMe]

thank you so much. I'm a beginner so it took me way longer, but eventually, it came out great!

[@TheCrazyCenturion]

you can just press control E to extrude mic it will speed up your work flow so much

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Morgan's Mind I will try to incorporate it in my videos, thanks !

[@naifox1]

if you wanna fix the black inside the polygon just go to option light and check the box two sided lighting and it will turn gray on both sides

[@pamelahollosyova9263]

Hi, I am having some problems with insert edge loop tool. I want to loop around all edges but it always connects to one. Its kinda driving me crazy because i can't figure out whats the root of the problem here. In your video (4:00) you don't seem to have the same problem and I am just doing exactly the same thing. I am stuck right now and in desperate need of help.

+Pamela Hollosyova Pamela, are you available for a 2 min facebook chat ?

[@pamelahollosyova9263]

Yeah :) sorry, didn't notice your message.

[@paulMlela]

hi mike i have seen way you used keyshot the model become realistic, even that procedures can be applied in make textures and lighting, uv in human characters into realistic in keyshot?

[@MHTutorials3D]

To a certain degree, yes

[@paulMlela]

yeah because i have been asking my self how can i make animation video look like it is real, example like in CINDERELLA MOVIE...may be help us with that,what should we do!! to improve

[@agvids5355]

Very helpful tutorial; but, pathetic volume.

[@blackstormfire]

Hi Mike, i got a little bit odd request for you, can you model a Mobility Scooter.

[@meghapanchal2933]

I can't open maya model in keyshot ... some error is showing does not contain 3d geometry

[@superalysson]

Mike, is there some way you can teach how modeling the sweat drips of ice on the can? just like the ones in ads? thanks.

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Alysson DeOliveira I would rather be a normal map of drops on the surface instead of actually modeling. ( another option would be to emit particles from the surface of the can )

[@BlazingZakurai]

on 2:38 did you say g-p? That's what I'm hearing but I might be wrong and then you said w to move up?

[@viktoriaprodanova5904]

+Koji Kanda I have the same problem...so my can looks more like a glass xD

[@BlazingZakurai]

+Victoria P. ...what? uh ok....

[@Protoscope]

He's saying hit "G" to REPEAT. Hitting "G" basically repeats the last command used.

[@BlazingZakurai]

Ah thanks I think that's what I'm looking for. :D

[@Micp2912]

Every time I try to add the "normal map" to the Bump in keyshot it crashes Keyshot and says it has to close. How do I fix this? I can add the aluminum texture to the top and bottom but cant go any further. Im using the keyshot trial since im just learning.

[@StalkyWasTaken]

Hi Mike, why do you add edges instead of using the Cease tool, what's the difference between these 2?

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Stalky Adding edges adds actual geometry ( polycount ), Harden edge does not

[@StalkyWasTaken]

Thank you

[@waqasawan5790]

How to drag object up and down when we extra zoom in for tracing?

[@paulMlela]

hi! mike after i have finish creating model in keyshot how can i return it to maya please help me out

[@MHTutorials3D]

You can't, sorry

[@paulMlela]

and hey Brother Mike is it possible to render scene in keyshot by using maya caremas??

[@paulMlela]

i meant cameras

[@MHTutorials3D]

No, sorry

[@JagsP95]

Mike your mic threshold seems to be really low, can you increase it so I can hear your voice louder, my speakers arent as good thats why.

[@MHTutorials3D]

+JaG Sure

[@JagsP95]

Mike Hermes thanks good sir

[@festi90]

@@MHTutorials3D Thank for the tutorial, but I have a problem, my imported FBX file not showing textures in keyshot, can you help me?

[@professionalartist7776]

I hear you just fine. This is a great tutorial.

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Professional Artist Thank you for being such a loyal supporter !

[@mamtagoyal6540]

can us just tell me the softwares which you use for this purpose ( all the ones on your task bar ) it shall help me a lot Thanks in advance

[@MHTutorials3D]

Photoshop, After Effects, 3DCoat, Marmoset Toolbag, Substance painter, Substance Designer, MARI, ZBrush, Filter Forge, Quixel Suite

[@mamtagoyal6540]

any more (i suspect because u didnt include keyshot and some software of adobe on your task bar )

[@megadylando8]

Hey Mike, just subscribed to your Channel you helped me out with my second project haha. I was wondering what you would recommend (specs wise) on a computer to actually run maya without crashing. I currently have a MacBook Pro and I can use maya for modeling but once i get to texturing it kind of slows down a little bit and then when i actually load my animations from class it crashes. Thanks!

[@MHTutorials3D]

+megadylando8 Well in short I would recommend a quad core i5 CPU or better with at least 8GM of RAM and an NVIDIA video card ( 4GB and UP )

[@durty3018]

Mike my toolbar does not have Mesh Tools, why is that? I have Maya 16 with service pack 4 and Mental Ray. Thanks Bud.

[@MHTutorials3D]

Maya or Maya LT ?

[@دروسمترجمة-ذ8ك]

Good morning , sometimes when I make extrude for edge and move the extrusion in Y axe I found 2 or 3 extrusions come out , what is the reason please.

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Said Kotry The reason is that you have created more than one edge in the same place. ( maybe copies of the same object ? )

[@paulMlela]

during the end of your tutorial i have seen the model is in photoshop, so there can it be returned to maya? sorry i have asked alot!!

[@tarialorehand]

(sorry for the very long delay in a reply) it's just the image that he rendered, not the model (obj)

[@seanhomar5945]

Fantastic video, however it would be nice if you could show us how to perform everything within maya rather than switching to other software because some of us possibly don't have the other software. thanks.

[@MHTutorials3D]

Sean, I understand but believe me that it is common practice in the industry to use multiple platforms. I use all sorts of software and Keyshot is one of them

[@himaloysakib3336]

You are a great tutor!

[@MHTutorials3D]

Thank you

[@cristian-si1gb]

Might be a stupid question, but where do you get your textures from?

[@MHTutorials3D]

www.cgtextures.com

[@cristian-si1gb]

Mike Hermes Wow, that's a great site! Thank you!

[@festi90]

My imported FBX file not showing textures in Keyshot

Try OBJ instead

My Textures are Showing black in Maya any texture i use is black, Please could you help also I can't preview smooth.

[@MHTutorials3D]

Have you reversed the normals ?

[@TheSkylanderSmith]

Mike Hermes I am new to maya and what does that mean?

[@MHTutorials3D]

Are your materials inside out

[@TheSkylanderSmith]

Mike Hermes It was fine at first then When ever i made a new texture which was Gray/Grey, It would show black same as Some Lighter Colors, So i don't know.

[@lillypebbles7637]

Mike, i totally love your videos, i learn a lot from them, the only thing that bothers me is the sound :S I kinda need to crack up the volume to a 100%. I will endure it, but considering you have so many fans maybe a better microphone would be good :3! Thank you for the videos!

[@MHTutorials3D]

Lily, This is an older video and I have invested in professional audio gear since then ( Zoom H4N ) but thank you for letting me know

[@lillypebbles7637]

Oh Gosh i never pay attention to the damn time the video's are made since they are so handy and all! But thank you for your investment :) I'll check out your newer vids later!

That is totally fine. Thank you for watching my videos

Thanks Man

Very welcome

[@klarnorbert]

Hey @Mike Hermes: I did what you do step by step, but when I add aluminium material in KeyShot to top of the can, black artifacts begin to show up: imgur.com/a/RRiop

[@MHTutorials3D]

Usually you can get away with not UVing if texturing but in this case I would ( or increase the polycount in Maya )

[@tom_paul_3d]

gosh, the ringpull could be better...

[@MHTutorials3D]

Agreed

[@noirwolfcreations8827]

sound is too low mike

[@Syj-krm]

Small ?

Yes... maybe only my think
