How to model a Witch hat in Maya 2016

[@SakuraKaay]

I appreciate you left the solving-the-problem part. I feel like i always run into problems with Maya and I get frustrated because the tutorials are always so perfect and I'm here with 10 google tabs trying to solve the problem by myself.

Cool tutorial - A primitive pipe helps make buckles quicker x

[@MHTutorials3D]

+clare swift Good one Clare, I will try that. ( never made a buckle before )

[@cellotan9624]

Try to use Ctrl+E for a shortcut of using Extrude, it's way more faster.

Hi Mike 😃Once again... NICE work.Do you offer tutorials how to model a head using strip method?

[@MHTutorials3D]

+BOXERGIRL Kelli-ann I really don't do characters but what do you mean by strip method ?

[@allstardynamodogs12]

+Mike Hermes Hello :D Extruding edges vs box modeling.

[@MHTutorials3D]

Oh, ok. Understood

[@allstardynamodogs12]

+Mike Hermes maybe you have a tutorial how to model extruding edges? doesn't necessarily have to be a character.

[@crofelropterslol]

Is keyshot free? it looks amazing, does it come with all those textures pre built in?

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Donny Willo Hi Donny, No Keyshot i snot free ( check out www.luxion.com )

[@crofelropterslol]

+Mike Hermes how much do you pay for it? And are you currently working in the gaming industry?

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Donny Willo The Pro version ( most popular ) is USD 1995,-

[@crofelropterslol]

+Mike Hermes you payed almost 2000 dollars for it!? Jesus lol, I'm just a college student learning maya and general game design things, your tutorials have taught me allot, what is it you work as?

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Donny Willo Donny, besides KZbin I am a Free Lance 3D modeler working for individual clients and businesses. I model for adverts, commercials, product placements etc etc ( on occasion TV shows )

[@petioworld4968]

Is it necessary to use Key Shot every time we finish modeling something? I mean, can't we use Maya do to something about it or Key Shot provides way more options? I'm asking this question because i have not worked with Key Shot before.

[@MHTutorials3D]

You don't need Keyshot at all. I use it to give an example of what the model COULD look like. You can do this in Maya too

[@petioworld4968]

okay, i was just wondering. Thank you very much.

[@droid993_MKD]

Nice. Can you model a medieval Galleon ship ?

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Damjan Miloshevski It is actually on my request list

[@droid993_MKD]

+Mike Hermes I would really appreciate if you make a video about it, I'm currently working on a project where the main model is a medieval Galleon, and your tutorials helped me a lot for a previous one, I got a good grade, that's why i need help for this one. Thanks again in advance.

[@Steffen30muc]

nice Mike. Thx. "I need KeyShot" 😆 Greetings from Munich

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Steffen30muc Yes, it's cool !

[@vatsalchauhan2173]

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Batmanized Did you export it as an FBX or OBJ file ? ( It doesn't open MB files )

[@vatsalchauhan2173]

+Mike Hermes Thanks mate

[@SuperHanme]

thank you.

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Meng Hi Thank you for watching :-) !!

[@silvyar1049]

Great! Thanks Mike! :D

[@laissez-faire496]

Is Maya good with sculpturing?

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Laissez - faire It's possible but not great. Try ZBrush or Mudbox

[@laissez-faire496]

kwl thx

[@TheOnlyBowl]

+Mike Hermes I've noticed that Maya 2016 now has the sculpting tools similar to Mudbox. Do they not work as well as they do on Mudbox? I've yet to try them out, so I was just curious.

[@professionalartist7776]

+Sith Spawn I've been learning zbrush the past three weeks, and it's dizzying amount of info, mesh insertion, subtools, extraction using masks and alphas, clip curve modifications with Alt, dynomesh, zmodeler, nanomesh, remeshing, transposing, and so on, and so on, and I've hardly touched my brand new large wacom tablet. But Mayas sculpting tools don't feel like Mudbox at all, not even close. And Mudbox, doesn't come close to Zbrush, but it has it's strong points, such as it's ability to project and allow fast creation of custom brushes.

[@TheOnlyBowl]

Professional Artist That's good info to have. Thanks! It would seem that Mudbox is still the superior sculpting tool in the Autodesk family. I would love to someday get my hands on ZBrush. I use Maya, 3Ds, and Mudbox. I've found that there are some things Maya does better than Max, and vice versa. I'm familiar enough with Mudbox to where I can get the results that I want. But if I can get familiar with ZBrush (and maybe Keyshot, since Hermes's videos have spiked my interest), friends would be hard-pressed to get me away from the computer :P
