Maya 2016 tutorial : How to model, UV Map and texture a piped pillow

[@beachforestmountain4269]

Man, I've been modelling cushions and pillows manually untill now. I never thought to inflate an nCloth. Thanks for the video, it will really help me a lot.

pro tip: watch movies on Flixzone. Been using it for watching loads of movies during the lockdown.

Puffing it up with ncloth settings was a great trick!

I love your videos! I'm actually learning to use Maya for school and your videos help me a lot for my projects!

+Taytoutay I am very glad I can help

To everyone who runs into a problem with the UV being scattered, simply move and sew it together which he explains like 20 seconds later.

Hello Mike! I just wonder why you don't use the "J" key (step snap) when you rotate something? :) Thanks for all tutorials!

Wow, thanks

Hey Mike, nice video! I seem to be having a bit of a problem when I start up my UV editor. For some reason, it doesn't show the pillow faces like yours did. I have the 2015 version so maybe it could be that? Another problem I've spotted is that, for some reason, every new polygon I create seems to always have the white leather texture I added a while ago. I can delete it from my UV, but when I opened the UV editor, the entire leather texture is covering the entire box where you performed the "SHELL" action. Is there something I did wrong?

[@MHTutorials3D]

It sounds like you a some point have replaced the standard grey lambert with a white leather texture. Reapply a grey lambert to your model ( even manually if you have to ) and try again

Cool. I will see what I can do

Sorry question, what is the HDR file you chose? Its not in my Maya folder

[@MHTutorials3D]

You can find free HDI images on www.hdrlabs.com

How long would this take you to do, if you were just doing it normally without making a tutorial?

My UV map is warped all over the place even though my edge cuts are exactly like in the tutorial :( Help? No matter how many times I try, I cannot get it to unwrap like in the video. It just becomes a complete mess. I have quadruple-checked every single seam on the model, and I cant find anything wrong.

Depending on size and subdiv you might need to address pressure values
