Описание: This tutorial is an introduction to using external MEL files and procedures, functions, loops, and scripted interaction within the Maya workspace. We’ll be going over basic coding practices, and putting together a nifty geometric object that would be very difficult to create without scripting.
In this tutorial, we will be creating an external script file with four “procedures” – self-contained scripts that are meant to achieve specific goals. The first procedure will take any number of objects selected in the Maya viewport and create a chained hierarchy for easy double-transformations. The second script will un-parent selected objects, and the third will move the pivot points of selected objects to the world-space origin. These three scripts will allow you to easily create some interesting effects with multiple objects. The fourth procedure will combine all of the first three to create a ‘Fermat’s Spiral’, similar to the complex whorl found on sunflower heads.

Useful control icons can make or break a good rig, and are essential when creating in-interface GUIs. Putting together simple, one-piece shapes are easy, but making compound icons can be much more difficult. One method for combining multiple curves is to parent them under a single transform node. We’ll first do this by hand, and then look at an easy MEL script that automates the process.

[spoiler="53. Creating Transforming Effects In Maya"]
Описание: Hello everyone and welcome to this tutorial. In this tutorial we will be creating the transforming effect, which you can see in the Mobile phone AD in the video above, you can download the mobile phone model from the Premium section!
This tutorial is not meant to be for beginners, it will be intermediate to advanced and we will focus on specific techniques, rather than focusing on tools. Although we will be explaining everything in Maya, the techniques are general and could be applied in any 3d package. We will pass through the modeling, shading, rendering stages, but we will be focusing mainly on the planning, animation stages of the process because there lies the trick.

[spoiler="54. Modeling The “Adam Syringe” From “Bioshock”"]
Описание: In today’s tutorial, new Cgtuts+ author Mario Novoselec will show us how to create a high-res model of the “ADAM Syringe” from the popular video game “Bioshock”. Mario will be using Autodesk Maya, but as most of the techniques shown are universal, you shouldn’t have any trouble following along with another 3D software package. Mario will use common poly modeling techniques to build the Syringe’s base mesh, before adding subdivision to achieve the model’s final look. Let’s get started!

[spoiler="55. Camera Projection In Maya"]
Описание: In this tutorial, Cgtuts+ regular author Ivan Krushkov guides us through the process of using camera projection in Autodesk Maya. Ivan will begin by showing us how to separate and prepare our image inside of Adobe Photoshop for later projection inside Maya. In the second half of the tutorial, Ivan will move into Maya and focus on creating simple geometry, setting up the projection, creating and applying materials as well as animating the camera’s movement. This is a great tutorial for intermediate to advanced Maya using interested in learning camera projection techniques.

[spoiler="57. Occlusion Shading Opacity Mapped Geometry In Maya"]
Описание: Today author Dimitar Katerov will be showing us how to create a custom shading network inside Maya, which will allow you to get Occlusion information from opacity mapped geometry, something that is always a challenging task. Dimitar will also cover creating a tree using PaintFX, as well as the lighting and rendering setup using Mentalray.

Paint FX is a very powerful way to create vegetation in your 3D scene. Getting occlusion from Opacity mapped geometry is a little bit tricky, but it isn’t hard at all. It’s very useful to be able to do Occlusion shading on opacity mapped planes, in order to get detailed tree leaves, without the need of modeling them completely. Just mapping the planes with leaf opacity texture saves a lot of time and polycount. Onyx tree and similar software also generate planes instead of leaves so this method is applicable as well.

I will show a shading network for a 2 sided material, because Maya doesn’t have one built in,
This is very handy when making leaves as well, because the top and bottom sides have different Color, Bump and Reflectivity values.

[spoiler="60. Quick Tip - MentalRay Proxies"]
Описание: In today’s quick tip, Dimitar Katerov will explain what proxy objects are, and how they can be used to render an insane amount of polygons in a single scene. If you’ve ever gone through the pain inducing task of trying to render a scene with a few hundred high-res tree models, then this quick tip may be the answer to your prayers! So fire up Maya and let’s get started!

[spoiler="61. Reverse Foot Lock & IK FK Switch In Maya"]
Описание: In this tutorial, new Cgtuts+ author Ranjit Singh Rana will be covering the process of setting up a “Reverse foot lock” rig in Maya. First Ranjit will show us how to create it using a ‘chain of joints’ and then again using ‘groups’. Finally Ranjit will show us how to setup an “IK/FK switch” for an arm. We’ll also take a look at adding ‘Set Driven Keys’ for both the Reverse foot lock and IK/FK switch.

[spoiler="66. An Introduction To Fryrender In Maya"]
Описание: Today Cgtuts+ is happy to release our first tutorial focused on RandomControl’s Fryrender. In this tutorial, new author Shaun Keenan will get you up to speed on using Fryrender inside of Maya with a series of short introductory lessons.
Fryrender is the physically-based light simulator developed by RandomControl. It is a photo-realistic render engine where all the elements involved in the generation of the final image (materials, lights and cameras) are based on physically accurate models. In Fryrender, when you hit the render button, a simulation of the real behavior of light happens inside. Because of this, it is possible to achieve hyper-realistic results with minimal effort.
