[@oinkards1143]

I can now make a Cyberpunk city, although it will take some practice I'll get there! Thanks for the videos!

[@MHTutorials3D]

You are very welcome

[@allstardynamodogs12]

OH MY Mike :D I LOVE your videos. They're so informative and very helpful to a newbie like myself. I'm going to use this tutorial for my class to help build similar scene. I may be back to ask additional questions. GREAT great work!

[@MHTutorials3D]

+BOXERGIRL Kelli-ann Very glad I can help Kelli-ann

[@allstardynamodogs12]

+Mike Hermes :D Not sure haven't gone through all your videos but do you have a fly through scene available? Basic primitives with color….. terrain, lakes, etc?

[@MHTutorials3D]

No, not really. What do you need specifically ?

[@allstardynamodogs12]

A short scene depicting a game scene using primitives. For example, similar to street scene. A community with town homes, lakes, golf course.

[@MHTutorials3D]

+BOXERGIRL Kelli-ann I could but without proper UV ing etc it wouldn't really have a point as you can't use it for anything

[@abdelrahmanmohmed3185]

Hi can you show physical sky and sun in viewport??

[@michelecavalierimaschi]

I think the "insert edge loop tool" at the minute 7:30 didn't work because u forgot to remove vertices from the previous edges by pressing "shift" + right click on the mouse and select "delete edge" (infact when you pulled down the top vertices for the roof, there are a lot of vertices). In this way Maya delate edges and vertices together .....By the way I'm learning very good stuff from yours tutorials...Thanks Mike!!!

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Michele Cavalieri You are 100% correct, thanks for sharing

[@mangeshdalvi4576]

Nice

[@korialkorial]

thanks for your tutorial. any tutorial coming up show how to add texture

[@MHTutorials3D]

***** I have done a few already.

[@arunpandey4854]

As always great tutorial Mike n can u tell me that after rendering complete there appears sky look in your top of your image but in mine there in nothing like that can u tell me how can i make that sky look

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Arun Anim I used Physical SUn & Sky in the Mental Ray settings as a lighting source. This created the Sky

[@BlueDragonMusicPromotions]

7:05 i did the exact same thing you did but when i clicked on bevel nothing happened to the edges

[@MHTutorials3D]

+BlueDragon™ EDM Promotions Reset your bevel options to default settings and try again

[@BlueDragonMusicPromotions]

WOW IT WORKED THANKS AGAIN

[@MHTutorials3D]

+BlueDragon™ EDM Promotions No problem, happy to help

[@BlueDragonMusicPromotions]

Mike Hermes thanks i just finished the whole tutorial and my street looks great :)

[@MHTutorials3D]

Cool, would you like to share it on my FB page ?

[@Mr_Hydroponikz]

is it better to use maya 2016 with mental ray or 2017 with arnold. I cannot get the artificial sun and sky method. can you do a tutorial on maya 2017. I am using the student version so I don't know if I'm missing any tools that come with the regular version. when I completed the house you did earlier with the garage in another tutorial I couldn't get any detail When I rendered everything out. I was also using maya 2017. thank you for your tutorials

[@MHTutorials3D]

I prefer mental Ray over Arnold and now there is mental Ray for Maya 2017

[@vaniaLP89]

thanks for the tutorial, it helps me alot. can you show how to do the shading for the house and street in the next tutorial?

[@MHTutorials3D]

Hi Vania, Do you mean shading or texturing ? Regards, Mike

[@vaniaLP89]

not sure what's the difference between both as i'm still beginner lol, but i guess i meant shading, where you could put some texture and color for the objects.

[@MHTutorials3D]

vaniaLP89 Vania, I'll see what I can do, Regards, Mike

[@ryaneden4604]

I was just wondering if you knew if this could be exported into Unity?

[@bewbathis_3211]

Thanks for the video! I'm trying to get into map designing on Unreal and I plan on using Maya to create scenes like this. I am curious if you can tell me how I would go about making windows though. Breakable ones?

[@MHTutorials3D]

Check out my video using "bullet" in Maya ( this is a shatterer )

[@Ermelious]

i see that you modelled the stuffs focusing on the buildings more. But does that mean that the floor/ground aren't modular? Because if it isn't, than will you be texturing the entire ground in a single UV layout?

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Ermelious If I were to texture this I would either use a tileable image or I would paint the surface

[@Ermelious]

+Mike Hermes Thanks for the reply sir, do you paint the surface in photoshop? What if the ground were to be partially soil and partially grass, would you still use this method? I'm interested in creating an animated scene but am wondering should i use a game engine to design the terrain or should i do it straight up in maya. At least in unity there is the terrain editor which allows to paint precisely at the spot you want all in real time though i'd still go with the maya + photoshop method to get more details into the texture but i'm still new to this and would like to find out what do the majority prefer to use when designing terrain. EDIT: Btw for the modelling of terrains with hills and maybe bumpy surfaces, would you use maya or a game engine?

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Ermelious There are many ways to do this and Unity is certainly an option. I would probably use PS but like I said, many ways to do it

[@meessenmarvin6768]

Maya 2016 How do You make that, that the things You do in .... That These things don't come in the middle.... Because You mark just the Place and the Quarter Comes in the Place You marked.... How does it function? 😊

[@MHTutorials3D]

+meessen marvin Meessen, I am sorry but I don't understand what you are asking

[@meessenmarvin6768]

+Mike Hermes i wrote You an Email. It is better to understand

[@vibehaire]

Can u make animation video of 10 min? I want to learn tht thing😊.

[@munjeanand]

How can I make the sun lighting in maya 2018? Because, in maya 2081, in render settings the options are different. Can you help me please?

[@milanpramod3934]

maya 2081 eh?

[@chillbro9454]

can i change the colour of these houses,,..?? if can ,...how i will do??

[@MHTutorials3D]

Texture them individually

[@BillsNatasha]

I have a problem, it doesn't do like that for me, not when i create the plane, it doesn't show any "sqaures" and i cant insert edge tool properly

[@MHTutorials3D]

Hi Natasha, You need to add subdivisions ( edges ) to your plane in the attribute editor. ( Select your plane and hit Ctrl+A on your keyboard ) There you can add subdivisions to your plane, Mike

[@merceditashrestha4898]

Does this work in all Maya Version?

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Mercedita Shrestha It should

[@wcproductions3920]

thanks

[@bman23Q]

Cool.

[@djefardeur7958]

Dope

[@drccinc]

Hi Mike, thanks for sharing. Just want to ask if you offer a one-on-one online Maya Animation tutorial? Or if you also teach other 3D animation stuff? If you do, can you please email me your terms and condition? I have personal tutor but i'm not really satisfied with his skills and approach. I guess someone like you with great skills set is the best tutor for me. Hoping to hear from you soon. Thanks

[@MHTutorials3D]

Hi Dennis, Please e-mail me at [e-mail] Regards, Mike
