I'm learning 3d modeling from school and because of covid, I have to teach myself. the videos my professor provided didn't go into details or explained as well as you did. Thank you so much for your video.

[@Lacolasproductions]

my exact predicament right now

[@iandoubleyou7509]

Monica - you are an exceptional educator. I've watched so many 'how to' videos and yours are the best buy a LONG shot. Fantastic pace, very clearly described, reinforcing by repeating at all the right times and an absolute gold mine of shortcuts in action. VERY well played :)

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Wow!! Thank you so much!!

[@Iad83]

I have to second this. I normally export the model as an fbx and work on textures in substance painter, but some of the simpler ones I should probably just do in photoshop. There are a lot of different ways to do something in Maya, and I learned a few extra things in a very efficient manner :)

[@iamvoicelessmusic]

This is SO well explained! I thought UV mapping was going to be a super confusing concept to learn, but you were so clear and concise with it! Excellent video!

[@KoaKoffee]

Thank you so much! Texturing is the one scary thing that stops me from ever diving fully into a project, having this tutorial will really get me comfortable with it. Thank you again!

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

You can do it!! Face your fears ;) I hope my tutorials can support :)

[@thecolebunker151]

Hi Monica, I am studying a masters degree in computer animation and Special FX I hate to admit it because it is embarrassing but I have learning difficulties and my whole life was spent in the military until I was wounded whilst serving and had my career pulled from under me. The previous commenter was absolutely correct about those tactical repeats that you emphasized at the right times, Perfect! Thank you

[@jamespickrell6232]

I love your video. It's so clear. That may seem like a silly thing to say, but I was really able to follow your examples, and your explanations made everything seem clear. This is awesome.

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

That is so great to hear James! I'm so happy that my videos are helpful. :)

[@knitedeus3095]

thank you. thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you! for an industry standard, my college game dev program has a TERRIBLE track record of Maya teachers and I have been beating my head against the wall trying to figure out my assignments. This tutorial is SO comprehensive and everything makes so much sense now. Oh my gosh thank you.

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

I'm so happy to hear that! Good luck in your studies!

[@johnrogers1661]

this video is amazing i was stuck with a project for so long after watching this i got a mini workflow that works for me :D

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

That's great! I'm glad it was helpful!

[@Iad83]

Exporting the UV as an image seems really helpful for low poly models, I didn't know you could do that. I always just exported the model as an fbx, but this seems much quicker 👍

[@hollaback0690]

Great tutorial. Always had a mental block to texturing but you explained it in a great way. Thx!!

[@matthewcollins5964]

How is your grid not going hf way through the cube? if everything is set to zero, my grid saild through my box with the same paramters as yours??

[@bibi0n]

whenever i upload my image file, the object turns black. it happened when i was trying to make a new material with that image too, but i also had my image size as 1024x1024

[@KevinIsAMilitaryGenius]

How do u undo the delete by history cause to a object or rig. Cause whenever i load my rig in it wont allow me to move

[@franklittlefield1180]

This may be a stupid question, but which type of Photoshop did you use? I was able to follow all the way up to mapping UV's, but Adobe Photoshop Express has absolutely any tools, and for some reason will not open a tiff file. As a college student, Adobe Photoshop Express was free.

[@forzamaya4087]

Thanks

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Most welcome 😊

[@hamoali8242]

how are you my teacher? firstly i want to thank you. i watched your episode about creating dust, but it was more complex, i asking from you if there any way to create dust, but less complex, please show me that.

[@kycklingsas6782]

Hi! Amazing tutorial! I have a question that isn't particularly about texturing, but when I found and opened up the Outliner display it covered my entire screen and I can't see my work behind it. What do I do? Edit: Fixed it! Thank you again so much for the amazing texturing tutorials!

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Nice job troubleshooting, Shellex! Thanks for watching :)

[@titoeloshhyris2304]

idk but i feeling that too many commands were deleted btw nice video , helps me a lot :)

[@emmy_D_dev]

Hello, I just came across your channel.. I have been learning blender and I want to move up to Maya.. feels like there is alot of opportunities compared to using blender.. What's your advice?

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Blender is a fantastic start to 3D and it has a large community of supporters. I would encourage you to use Maya since it is more used in the industry. Blender is picking up steam, but Maya has years ahead and integrated into a lot of industry pipelines. At the end, the most important part is the art. If it looks awesome, that's all that matters, no matter what software used. :)

[@ashutoshchavan6115]

what should do if texture gets upside down?

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Good question. I would go into photoshop and change it to the correct direction. I hope that helps!

[@deepaklohra9913]
