Learning Maya

First attempt in maya with nurBs and fur(2000)

and few tips based on this work
* If we are using poly take care on good UVs

* We can have sep.UV set only for fur

*Bake the properties to render faster-general

*Maintain the caches properly-general

* Play with translucence for the final look

* Use the artisan tools as much as possible

and this one is the first attempt with subD(2000)

*from Alais Maya 4 to Autodesk 2009
the only changes with subD are
calculation on this tool and rendering
speed is very much improved .

*very much shoots for chtr.but widely
used for sets and porps modeling

*Resolution independent like nurBs

*Has sculpting support but turned the
vertex visibility and paint on it!!!!!!

*Use soft modication tool for quicker result

* Use the poly uv tool -subD not good

we used at one commercial to get the
clay surface finish

nice to remember and very good to share

Pen works to remember my past

when I was growing in my village
from my premature baby to my
teenage boy ,used to watch and
play  with goats,sheeps and bulls.
But with  the bulls we will  have to
be very careful!!!

I still can recall the feelings that ,i was
human ball in the air for a while !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and my belly didn't tear apart,fortunately!!!
When my ego  and the bulls ego got a
small conflict.

This one is from those inspired life (my old sketch book.(90s))

In general male and female were always
together with their kids in the fields
and in the other working areas,
this man -shepherd was in love
as I was with my unknown lover.



This one was drawn with intention that
the neat figure from the scribbles


and sleeping beauty at my bed!!(live drawing)

The art of living

The art of living is to gain this ability in life.
It's very simple. Just a skill: the ability to
free your mind of the past, to free your mind
of the future fears, and to be able to play with
every situation that is in front of you.
