Maya Hacks

I am glad to share my new video tutorial on Car Lighting using V-Ray in Maya software. Car Paint material is used to render the chassis and V-Ray material for the rest of the objects.

Pond tool unexplored and never came to lime light, but, its an amazing tool to create water surface with procedural wave patterns and wake emitters. Why ignore, just check it out the video below

Modelling a pillow with traditional techniques is a pain. Rather I would suggest to create it simulation and nCloth one of the choice to do so. I have created a tutorial on modelling a pillow with nCloth, which not only covers modelling technique, but also it covers some simulation technique as well.

Been a user of Mental ray for years and switched to V-Ray these days. Its amazing experience with V-Ray and ease of usage. Things at V-Ray are so user friendly and simple. I am glad that I have switched to V-Ray and thought to share a tutorial on V-Ray lighting an Interior.

Its a easy way to animate a second's pointer(hand) in a clock with expression inside Maya software.  To do so, Select second's hand and write expression in rotate channel with the given expression. pointer.rotateY=ceil(time)*6; .  Ceil expression is basically used to make any floating number to a higher integer value. For example, if ceil(2.5) is written, 3 is value you get with it.  Time returns the value of time, for example if you are 24th frame, then the value you get is 1. As second is unit of time, for 24 frames is 1 second, the value you get is 1. At this level, pointer snap rotates with 1 degree for 24 frames, but it should rotate 6 degrees for second. So, I multiplied it with 6. Here is the video link of the above tutorial

Its my YouTube channel called Maya Hacks to publish tutorials in 3D software's and VFX. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTPCZa1_cr6wpRqloa5OT-w
