Intro to Maya: Lesson 3 / 10 - 3D Modeling your first model

[@justinmmos7219]

As a Blender user thank you so much for these tutorials, my groupmates suddenly urge me to use maya last minute after I'm done modelling using Blender because I was the only one that uses Blender and you have no idea how much you have helped me thru my anxiety

You need to press B again to DISABLE the soft selection. For some reason, Maya remembers you pressed B on this project, and will continue to activate it on your future projects too. Until you press B again to disable it.

[@hawkins200]

The deformer was'nt working for me until i changed the start flare x and end flare x exactly as he done in the video before he rotated it. For anyone else who gets stuck on his bit

[@pontecristo_]

i love u man, i was gettin crazy

[@mastart4971]

@@pontecristo_ oh yeah, that was crazy until I read J. Hawkins... good man!!!

[@dhroovbmx]

it helped but why does that happen?? @mayalearningchannel

[@NavyGatorMyEye]

@Dhroov BMX Nonlinear deformers automatically apply themselves to selected geometry along the Y axis (vertically). He built his shape so that the extra edge loops were along the X axis (horizontally). See the result at 8:25 - the deformer (represented by the green line) is perpendicular to the object. Normally when you are deforming things, you rotate them to line up with the object first, then play with the start and end settings, etc., to deform it. When you do it that way it won't deform until you make changes to the settings, which is probably the way you should do it when you're first starting to play with them. He made changes first to show that it didn't give him the shape he wanted and then rotated it to show that it would change the shape when you rotate and translate, cool extra features but not so clear for someone new to it.

anyone struggling with 4:44, that everything disappears. Instead of selecting all the shapes, do it part by part until you find out which part is causing the issue, and then you make sure that part is touching the rest.

Happened to me too :(

[@DraxKnuckles]

When I try pressing "B" to soften, the whole selection turns yellow and I don't get that gradient where I can adjust different parts like that. I'm not sure what's wrong. I also can't adjust the size of the area either when holding b and the left clicker.

[@Autodesk_Maya]

Your circle is probably just way too big to start. Try holding B + Middle-mouse drag to start from 0.

[@lucasquires7511]

at 1:35 you make the boosters go away from the rocket by drag clicking them. when i drag click them it selects the whole cylinder and turns it completely orange. something im missing?

[@Autodesk_Maya]

Do you have Soft Select turned on by accident? Try pressing 'B' and see if the orange goes away.

[@pecktick1027]

Why is my objekt disappearing when I union them. Am I alone with this thing?

[@Autodesk_Maya]

Some older versions of Maya have a bug where this can happen. You can fix it by selecting the objects and going to Modify > Freeze Transforms before using Union. If that doesn't work, then you can just use "Mesh > Combine" instead of Union.

Hi, I seem to be having some issues when trying to use the bend tool. When I drag to change angle my shape doesn't react the same as yours. I'm using the same settings but just doesn't seem to work the same. I'm using the student version, is this maybe the problem? Great tutorials. Thanks

The student version shouldn't react any differently. Where is your deformer handle located relative to the geometry? It's possible your default settings create it at a different location/orientation.
