[@davegahan1316]

[@mossycake]

Just wanted to let you know the reference image you have linked is different than the one you used, which made following certain parts difficult.

[@pingchin5142]

Thank you for this amazing tutorial :P

[@shadowninja9123]

Thank you for the tutorials it was very helpful. Could you do the shield next?

[@MHTutorials3D]

What kind of shield ?

[@shadowninja9123]

Mike Hermes Zelda shied.

[@chadgainz3026]

Hey mike love your work I was wondering if you'd be able to sometime soon make a tutorial for God of wars Leviathan Axe in Maya?

[@MHTutorials3D]

I will see what I can do Chad

[@milanbadal7471]

Thanks a lot, Mike.

[@SweetLitzLM]

Hi Mike, can you help me with something? I have tried many times to do that but nothing works. Im trying to make a curtain stay in place being held by holes on it. Like in Chloe Prices room curtain. Is there any way to do it?

[@MHTutorials3D]

I did multiple videos on curtains. Search my playlists

[@jasontaylor8307]

Great Video, taught me a lot :)

[@MHTutorials3D]

Thank you !

[@jv9288]

Nice Tutorial

[@MHTutorials3D]

Thanks Javier

[@romanstudio7581]

hello,Mike. Do you know how to select every other edge(or face)? There was a script for maya 2015 or16. But i cant find something similar for 2017.

[@JamesFatherree]

yeah my thing is whenever i do the extrude method. i don't get a clear edge like you do. mine is always curved and i don't know how to fix it.

[@jasonlumsden6771]

Could you model a Wrestling//Boxing Ring?

[@chrisclarke4665]

I'm trying to animate cartoon characters in 3d. Could you make a walkthrough for me.

[@varshithajanavi6358]

mike amazing tutorial, could you create a video on hoe to model an ak 47

[@MHTutorials3D]

Thank you ! I will add your request to the list

[@joaoguilhermenextlevel302]

you can use the mirror option to drag simetric vértices

[@MHTutorials3D]

Yes

[@aoiyuureisuru7656]

hey mike......how did you move the pivot point??

[@MHTutorials3D]

Hit the insert key, move the pivot point and hit the insert key again

[@mr.n4656]

Hey Mike can you please tell me how to do inverted Bevel or inwards Bevel...

[@MHTutorials3D]

Use a negative value

[@mariosorani6972]

Hi Mike, gret tutorial. I am having trouble rendering a movie in maya 2016. I know it is better to doit frame by frame....but I want to do an AVI and for some reason I can't find it in the render settings Please let me know how to put it in.

[@MHTutorials3D]

What renderer ? Mental Ray ?

[@studiomariog.sorani7601]

Yes, Mental Ray. I tried to use Maya Software but the result was very bad although it was a lot faster than rendering frame by frame with Mental Ray.

[@MHTutorials3D]

Mental Ray no longer supports batch rendering

[@studiomariog.sorani7601]

So, if mental ray does not support batch rendering....how can I render an animation I am trying to do of a house....with the IES lights and everything?

[@hozzy2649]

hey mike, how long did this take to render? I've had it going for 26 minutes now and it's just done 15%.

[@MHTutorials3D]

As you can see by the pause in the video 7 minutes in total

[@hozzy2649]

I'm regretting trying this on a laptop

[@MHTutorials3D]

I did it on a laptop too

[@hozzy2649]

Mike Hermes well then... looks like my laptop is weak. 51 mins in and only 28%. I may need to switch the lighting back to basic.

[@MHTutorials3D]

I have been there, trust me....

[@padmavathiraghu3269]

the view in which you move the screen without rotating the object

[@kapethah]

Great Tutorial! Although the image in the download link is not symmetric and it becomes a bit clunky to work on top of it. Nevertheless, thank you so much.

[@mr.n4656]

Thumbs Up Mike.

[@MHTutorials3D]

Thanks

[@MegaMrPaint]

can you make a full production of short movie in maya pls?)))

[@MHTutorials3D]

A short movie of let's say 5 minutes is about 2 months work

[@MegaMrPaint]

this can be a multi-part video!

[@MHTutorials3D]

HAHA, yes a 250 part video

[@rodolfoaguiar2541]

can you link the reference image? Nice video btw :3

[@MHTutorials3D]

I have added the link to the video

[@rodolfoaguiar2541]

Thanks :D

[@padmavathiraghu3269]

can you say how to rotate the screen view?

[@MHTutorials3D]

In Keyshot ?

[@kyriakosgerostathis423]

Any ideas anyone why i cannot slide the edge loops when i try to insert edge loops ?

[@MHTutorials3D]

Are you using the multi cut tool or the regular insert edge loop tool ?

[@tomahawkergb1848]

not sure why it aint called the master sword in the title, cool video though!

[@MattyewMashew]

I swear to god, everyone I know always makes a god dam Master Sword for their first model. Get ready for dem views!

[@MHTutorials3D]

This is not my first model :-)

[@luanferreira-dev]

Mike Hermes he is saying first timers will look up this tutorial...

[@MHTutorials3D]

I know

[@superalysson]

Hi Mike!! can you modeling a beer bottle with ice drops and sweating water all over the bottle? just like the ones in advertising magazines? thanks. your rocks!!!

[@MHTutorials3D]

Thanks Alysson, I was planning on doing that as I have a similar request in my inbox. But a lot going on so I will see what I can do :-)

[@superalysson]

thanks for you attention Mike!

[@superalysson]

My another trouble is after you finish the modeling, how export all the maps separately with the obj file.

[@MHTutorials3D]

As JPG or TGA files

[@superalysson]

TGA i guess.

[@Nicole_Rosemarry]

I love your work! so easy to follow along! After i finished school for digital animation 3 years ago, i havent really touched the programs since ( im stupid). Anyways to get back in habit ive been following your modeling videos, at least 2 of them a day just to relearn everything i forgot (trying to make 3d modeling a habit and part of my everyday(im on day 7))! Thank you for being so clear in your videos. if you are interested to see any of my progress from watching your videos ill leave a link :P. they arent the greatest yet, but ill get there. www.tumblr.com/blog/vkphouraday Thank you so much for your videos!

[@ChocolateMilkMonster]

Can you do a video on how to achieve low poly models and renders similar to this in maya? i.imgur.com/7gDTQ10.png. Every tutorial i find is for blender and never for maya.

[@padmavathiraghu3269]

no
