Maya 2016 tutorial : The Aim constraint

[@it_s_bo]

70% of tutor is going about modeling, not about constrait. But thanks! )

[@jeffreyfloresca8027]

you're right, the model should have been made already

[@hsan.1951]

Hi. thanks for the tutorial, but what about the flipping that happens when adding the aim constraint? how do we solve that? even in your tutorial there's a jump in the canon when you press the add button .

[@petrmisak6615]

Me: "Six and a half minutes in, he'll finally talk about the aim constraint." Video: "And that's all there is to it"...

[@MHTutorials3D]

You are very welcome, my pleasure

[@paraalpha6190]

Awesome tutorail.. but how can I animate the bullets? I just wanna animate a lazer gun. But how can I animate except animating lines....

[@dinhhoangpeterdung6674]

I just downloaded maya today so I am really new to it. I don't know which videos are good for beginners like me. Any video lists or videos you could suggest me ? I appreciate any help. :)

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Dinh Hoang Peter Dung (Vinawurst) Hi there, to follow a natural progression I suggest you start watching my oldest videos and work your way up the the new ones, Mike

[@dinhhoangpeterdung6674]

ok thanks :D that was a fast reply

[@MHTutorials3D]

That's me :-)

[@erhanercengiz8351]

I don't know what did I miss but my cannons barrel is rotating around the sphere when I move the nurb up and down. I think I cant animate a cannon with mine but I can animate a multi barrel minigun! :)

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Erhan Ercengiz Not eaxctly sure what you are saying but it sounds cool

[@vforvisuals1151]

Thanks Mike

[@raufkhan2000]

sir, i m grateful to you, you are helping me a lot. I have a problem , i have maya 2015, i dont get input option in channel box and attribute editor, can you help me how to get it

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Abdul Khan Hi Abdul, thank you ! Input options for what ?

[@dharmikbhatt1234]

Hiii Mike can please make tutorial on walk or run on uneven terrain or ground. Easiest way to do this.

[@simplifiedmaya6591]

Very good tutorial. but what if we want to fire from that cannon?

[@MHTutorials3D]

Animate the canon and the ball seperately

[@simplifiedmaya6591]

sorry,but in real the cannonball can't be seen, I'm talking about the fire power and smoke animating do you have any tutorial about that ? and thank you

[@MHTutorials3D]

Not at this time, sorry

Name: how to build a canon

[@ForgottenHeroesGC]

Another great tutorial that taught me once again. Appreciate your time in making these videos and helping us learn. A quick question if I may, I know you said you don't work with game engines, but is there a way in Maya to set it so the barrel of the cannon will not go thru the base if I move my circle down really far? or a way to make it stop if I move my circle up? Also I created a new lambert texture and grabbed a concrete .jpg and tried to texture the base of the cannon. Looks horrid, the top flat services look nice, but the side up and down faces look like pinstripe wallpaper.

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Forgotten Heroes To answer your question, yes you can restrict the movement of the cannon so it won't go down through the base. And as for your texture, you need to UV the object before texturing to make it look good, Mike

[@youssefadel5978]

Is it possible to put all the images you will use in Video, Video, placed at the bottom so that we can use the same images that you operate

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Yosef Adel Yosef, I usually do when they are specific and the tutorial is following the image exactly. When I am just using a random image or texture I usually don't

[@youssefadel5978]

+Mike Hermes Ok I want you to explain how it works Almatrellal insert in the program if allowed

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Yosef Adel Hi Yosef, not sure what you are asking...

[@youssefadel5978]

انا اريد منك ان تشرح في فديو ما كيف اتخال المتريل في برنامج مايا2016

[@WangYue1995]

thanks! helped a lot

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Yue Wang You're welcome

[@arslanaliawan5703]

what is difference between point and aim ???

[@snipekid37]

So how could this be used in a game? would it stay the same if you exported it unreal?

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Snipe God I don't know as I don't work with game engines

[@snipekid37]

+Mike Hermes Okay, great vid btw!

[@noirwolfcreations8827]

hey Mike can u do a tutorial on how to model a realistic looking crow? please do it

[@MHTutorials3D]

+THE BIG BAD WOLF I am a bit baked up on requests and to be honest not very skilled on animals / characters. Once I am a bit more confident that it won't look horrible, I will give it a shot

[@noirwolfcreations8827]

Mike Hermes thnx man hope u get better fast

[@SPY-tr8nf]

thank you very much my mentor!

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Dan Ögren No problem Dan !

[@umangkapoor165]

can u help me out with the settings i should use in maya 16 ? i realised that some things work differently when i see them in your videos than that when i use them on my computer ... for example when i select any face or edge of an object and try to move it or scale it the faces adjacent to it also move a bit ... i would really appreciate if you make a tutorial to fix this or reply me a solution to this problem ...

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Umang Kapoor The face issue can be resolved by looking in the modeling toolkit and making sure it's turned off

[@umangkapoor165]

where is that ?

[@umangkapoor165]

how do i turn it off ?

THANKS

[@fouedb77]

very helpfull.thanks !

[@MHTutorials3D]

Thank you

[@zuinfibe947]

Ehr... 7 minutes of tutorial and the aimConstraint gets showed only at 6:20. And no mention at all to the crucial "up" options... ? :-D

[@enso8762]

Is the aim constraint new to maya 2016?

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Should I kill myself or have a cup of coffee? (Albert Camus) No, it was around in 2014

[@enso8762]

+Mike Hermes oh, okay. Thanks :)

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Should I kill myself or have a cup of coffee? (Albert Camus) No problem

[@jexb864]

Hmm sorry, this isn't a good tutorial. Or atleast, it's very VERY basic. The cannon isn't pointing correctly at the circle, the circle isn't decently implemented for an animator to use, and there are no limitations and clipping will occur. Thanks for showing beginners where they can find the aim constraint button in Maya, but this could've been explained way better.

[@MHTutorials3D]

It is intended as a basic tutorials as I make videos for beginners

[@raspas99]

Jex B exactly the same feeling that I have when I watch any of his tutorials. On the one hand he doesn't have to do this and we should be grateful no matter what we get for free. But on the other hand objectively they are not pedagogical. If you're trying to explain something to the beginners then you should try to explain in a way that beginners understand -what is what and what's it for and some different situations in which this can be useful and maybe even some creative ways to use this since that's the whole point in Maya. To put it simply if he was a teacher in a grade school and tried to teach like this he will be kicked out after one day. This is exactly what they instruct teachers how not to approach beginners. then again he doesn't have to do this so what can I say except thank you for your tutorials.

[@luigirazvan8940]

how conect 2 diferent object ,one smooth and another unsmooth, and keep initial forms?

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Life in 3D There is no smooth and unsmooth. There is low poly and higher poly. When you hit 3 on your keyboard you get a "preview" smooth but this is only a preview ( not real increase in polycount ) When you try to connect this it won't work. However when you go to Mesh - Smooth on one the object you have a real actual increase in polycount.

[@luigirazvan8940]

thank you

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Life in 3D No problem

[@sleeper_000]

Good, simple, to the point tutorials. Subscribed!

[@MHTutorials3D]

+A. J. Krooneman Thanks ( Dank je )

[@vazak11]

Cool!

[@luigirazvan8940]

how texture a smooth object ?

[@MHTutorials3D]

+Life in 3D UV map and texture it

[@thistooshallpassify]

Two thirds of the way through and so far nothing but basic poly modelling. This is what drives me mad about youtube tutorials.
