So yeah... new stuff incoming :) Today we´ll kick it off with Mortal Kombat inspired design style, with a lot of interesting topics to talk about. This is just a short demonstration of the process to get the quick forms out. After those are done we can then spend additional time to polish/finetune the designs depending on the time available to us. In the next video we´ll discuss the importance of Support Loops where we slowly deconstruct the whole workflow. -mario

Are this new stuff going to be KZbin videos or a new course? Or an update to the previous courses?

[@Elementza]

@@Toprak1552 Yes KZbin only

Hell yeah !! 🔥

[@alfiebones7551]

Epic!!

[@Inferno535]

you have the best Courses for hard surface! btw are you also doing some Textures/ Uv mapping? Courses (or part of) its always amazing to see new Courses from you! cant wait to see what will come next!

[@Elementza]

Hey thanks a lot! Yeah UV mapping we did cover in Maya classes and here on YT in into to maya series. As for texturing, not really... there are some other topics that are on the schedule though including new training formats. :)

Welcome back Lets goooo

[@toaolisi761]

Back from consulting with the Elder Gods I see.

[@christianlee1423]

please do more organic hard surface stuff, i think scifi helmets is the hardest types to model due to the blend of organic shape / head anatomy / and hard surface combined together.

[@jimmyvuw]

23:12 How did you modify the `Use Default Material`? There's definitely some nice reflection like Phong or Blinn, not like a Lambert to me at all

[@therocinante9300]

Hey Mario, absolutely beautiful work. I was wondering, would you consider making an updated video with how you set up your viewport, colors, edges, lighting and shading settings? Your videos are such an amazing source for learning, and your workflow is a real art by itself.

[@Elementza]

Hey thanks! Its no problem but the older UI and hotkey video is still valid. I just copy the same references into a newer versions as they release

[@therocinante9300]

@@Elementza oh nice to know! I'll give another look into that, then. Thank you!

[@lilarthanis]

Thanks for video, Mario! I`m glad to see you again. p.s. how to change default polygon color like you? Thanks!

[@Elementza]

There is a video on my channel UI and Hotkeys where we cover this topic :)

[@lilarthanis]

@@Elementza Gratefull! I`ll check it out!)

magic topo comeback

[@alekseynedovesov770]

osm!

[@agooodolecoder]

I would really love to know how to use your clean modelling technique to create trees, rocks, etc for environments IF IT MAKES SENSE of course ;) a nice subd model is easy to detail in zbrush...

[@Elementza]

Yes it makes sense no worries... but in that case you would actually just make it all in zbrush and use zremesher to get cleaner geo. You would not use this type of workflow in that situation. Hope this helps :)

[@agooodolecoder]

Yes it does, thank you@@Elementza

[@zk4929]

Brother as a Maya user am I missing out by not jumping on Blender bandwagon for modeling?

[@Elementza]

I mean the art or the results matter more that software of your choice. Which one brings you there faster or in workflow that makes sense to you is all that counts.

[@user-cl5mj3rl3e]

Don't he need to fix triangles and topology after cuts on masks? What if there be needed to do chamfer or bevel?

[@Elementza]

You could, but its not necessary in this case since geo is dense enough. We'll cover this more in detail in following videos. For now you can find more on the workflow here kzbin.info/www/bejne/lX3ZZoNniZmJf5Ysi=h_YopEjsg-vVnDXu

[@SaM-tl5nz]

Hey mario I just noticed how is the material visible in the viewport. (When i apply the stamdard surface and increase the metalness up to 1 it becomes completely black, but yours is working just fine). Is there any setting i need to change or is this just a bug in maya ?

[@Elementza]

Probably you´ll need to increase the spec roughness value if its set to 0

[@SaM-tl5nz]

@@Elementza Thanks for replying Just found the solution you are using Maya's standard surface which is compatible with the maya viewport whereas I was using the Arnold's ai standard surface the metalness of the Arnold ai standard only updates in the render view because of the lights. The Arnold's metalness can only be seen by creating a skydome or any other light and then pressing number 7 on the keyboard 😄

[@abregadoatseri4974]

Can i follow this steps and do it in c4d? Or itll be much different?

[@Elementza]

If you know the basic modeling tools yes should be no problem to follow

[@3D_belayet]

Where have you been for so long?

[@chrismiless8300]

No more c4d tutorial ???

[@Elementza]

No sorry, but all we cover in Maya, will apply to C4D as well

[@wahmarco3750]

Hey Mario I realized that I wasn't in your discord server already I tried to messaged u on discord but u seems to like blocked me or something if so any reason that I would like to know pls thx u very much

[@Elementza]

Hey... we typicaly don't block anyone (unless in case of serious spam) but feel free to send an email to support via the website. Not much can be done from youtube alone :) Cheers

[@ganeshanvekar5009]

More c4d.
