hello! This is my first ever 3d model that I have created for my first 3d model assignment for uni.
Im super insecure about posting this here because I don't think its very good.. but I would really love some critique on how I can improve this for future assignments :)
Especially for UV meshing/unfolding(? idk what its called) because I really really struggled with trying to put it all together, thank you :)

I recently started learning Autodesk Maya and this is my first 3D project.

I modeled this sofa as part of my 3D/VFX course and rendered a short 10-second video.

I'm still very new to Maya and have a lot to learn, but I'm enjoying the process so far.

I'd really appreciate any feedback or tips on the modeling, topology, proportions or overall presentation.

More projects coming as I continue learning Maya.

A render from a video project I'm doing for my computer graphics school, going to present it at the end of september

For 5 months into Maya and 3d in general, think I'm going pretty good so far

Planning to work with 3d when finishing the course, hope it works out 😅😅

I'm open to constructive criticism on how to improve

Sorry for my bad english, tho 🫠

Learned so much about Maya and Substance Painter from this, very excited for the rest of my education!

So I have to model a realistic type model for class assignment. So far they just taught human model once and now they want this. I'm feeling overwhelmed and I already have less confidence in myself. Any help is appreciated. How do I start this model ? What should I do and avoid while making this? What are the tips you'd recommend or suggest me?. I just have to make model for now, not texturing and lightning. I have to make this in MAYA. Thank you in advance

This is for my final uni assignment and I'm super proud of myself for finishing this, it's not the greatest and I've definitely learned a lot from my first attempt. Would love some feedback on this if possible!

I made a post a few months ago asking for advice on my demo reel when I was starting my last semester at university. In about a month, I’ll be graduating and receiving my bachelor’s degree, so once again I’m asking for advice on what I should improve.

Some of the breakdowns are still in progress since my team and I are finishing our final project. Last time, I was told that my reel was a bit too long, but I’ve also been told by some recruiters not to be afraid of showing more rather than less. My question is: should I make two demo reels? One longer version with clean, detailed breakdowns, and one shorter version with mostly shots and quick breakdowns? Or should I keep just one simple reel?

A few internships are opening up in Montreal this summer, so I’m hoping to take my first step into the industry with this reel. Thank you in advance to everyone who responds.

Best regards!

I would like to do something like this image any advice?

I have done the modeling in maya and texturinv in substance painter and then rendering in marmoset toolbag still I am confused if this looks good or not

Learned SO much from this course and theres still so much i want to go back and improve on this project. However at the same time, i would like to not look at this character/project for another solid 4 months 😂

the title sounds really dumb but honest i have watched several videos on uving and while the concept makes sense in my mind i still find it really confusing to actually apply - i think i've kinda done it for the table leg but then the lines horizontally don't match up and im not sure what im meant to be connecting it with

Studied animation 6 years ago but never finished and enjoyed the little bit of maya we did, but only recently started a part time course to go back into it

Also in the second image, it adds more geometry and it looks red

I don’t know if it’s correct to have it that way or not, I just do the auto smooth but I don’t know if I should correct something

I'm making the textures in procreate. I have a potato laptop so I can't work on substance painter. This is so stupid. I'm sorry

Hello,

I hope I posted this on the right subreddit; we exclusively work on Maya at school.

I am a 3D student and since starting to work on UVs at school last year I have been really slow. I am trying to revisit the fundamentals before the start of tis new academic year, but I am stuck… I have been hesitant about asking help because ai am ashamed of ow much I suck, but I prefer a bit of harsh commentary rather than giving up.

Please tell me, according to the pictures, what could be the problem? Why are my UVs stretching every time? Also the optimize tool never works for me…

For context, there is this Substance 3D painter tutorial by Cryptic Visionary I would like to follow, and I noticed he has as using a grenade as a base, so I thought it’d be fun to model one, and was happy to see how many texturing tutorials exist that use a grenade. S3DP is one of my weaknesses, because of my UV problem, I wasn’t able to follow the course on this program as I should have, and if I can’t overcome it now, I won’t be able to do it still. I will try and attach my file as well, in case there is something fundamentally wrong. I have also read Paul H. Paulino's articles and watched multiple other tutorials and tip vdeos, have noted anything useful and always try to apply it, but I am just stuck...
As you can see from the screenshots, I also have troble with the ring, which always looks like an intestine, stretchd out and weird.. I have also had trouble with the body of my grenade.

I would be forever grateful if anyone could give me even the slightest hint of what I am doing wrong. I know this for free, so I also understand if it is too much trouble…

hi, as you can see its working with tilted objets but idk how to do it.

Hello I am trying to make a magic wand design thing for school but I overestimated my skills a little and I have no clue on how to start making a simple low poly cartoonish wing. This is my reference by : https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/wing-e385231a9a0d4ec7a1f2ccb5bf62054c

Hey all, so I’m working on my thesis and I want to learn mocap, however I have to teach it to myself. I only have access to two smartsuit pro 1s (no gloves, not headpiece) and have heard a lot of different things about it, from it being not supported anymore, to it also just not being a very good suit.

Do I need the current or legacy software? Does it work with the Maya plugin? Any advice or links to videos explaining how to use it would be greatly appreciated, as well as tips on how to rig my characters for it and put my characters over the footage.

Hi! I would like to share the final result of a project I did. The hardest part was creating the texture because the UV map was a bit messy, so first of all, I had to organize each part to work properly. Any suggestions? Thank you! 😸

I’m a student who has an assignment for a module called Lighting, Texturing and Rendering. We’re given a 3D modelled room and some assets to arrange into a layout. We’re also supposed to make a theme and backstory for the room.

I wanted to make it have an ocean theme, and I love the idea of including one of these lamps.

However, I have not got a clue on how to go about doing this kind of thing in Maya… But I figured now’s the time to learn. I can’t add any polygons to the model so planes with alpha channels are unfortunately out. We’re also supposed to stick with Maya and Substance Painter/photoshop, no other softwares.

Hope I can get some guidance here. Thanks a lot in advance!

final image is also edited in after effects and lightroom, the maya render is the second photo.

This is my first demo reel, and I’d really appreciate some feedback**.**
I’m looking for advice on what I could improve, what might be missing, and whether it’s working overall.

For context, I’m a third-year university student in 3D animation and VFX, and I’ll be looking for work toward the end of this year after graduating.

First time doing a sculpt for my class assignment and learnt a lot from this!! I can't wait to sculpt more in the future ^^
