You're the best! Thank you so much <3
Love your videos
Thanks a lot for this it was very helpful!
can i download the model ??
how do add facial effects please teach
You know… I thought Maya wouldn't be that challenging… Then I downloaded it and it was in Japanese…. I checked back on the Autodesk page where I downloaded it and yes indeed. I said that I needed it in ENGLISH… Oh well I wanted to learn Japanese anyway…
Do you do commission work??
the box is black when I try to scale it and it won't conform it's too big and then when I use the loop thong it won't go off or to vertext mode some of your steps are unclear and not exolained as when I changed my model it didn't look like yours
somehow, when i want to scale the cube to the body size, it snaps to the grid, even though the option is not active in the tool bar, why does it do that? if i scale it in all directions (so from the middle) it is smooth, but when i scale it to one axis it snaps to the grid and exactly the half of the grids
I cant follow the part at 4:50 where you go to vertex mode. How do I do that?
worth the 50 minutes
Hey can u help me with this im stuck i cant move the edge https://scontent.fceb2-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t35.0-12/18362684_1687439484893220_893743192_o.png?oh=2f346d64ec72a4de16bcb9c0c22d7cbb&oe=5912C9E9 and by the way ilove your videos
Hey so for me if i drag the verteces in front view mode, i only get the front view verteces and not all of selected ones. Any idea what's going wrong?
super long video but love the detailed explanation. really helps a lot
Is it just me, or does the narrator sound like a female bonzi buddy?
first I want to say big thanks 2 you for that video and I have problem 2 download 2 pics can u help me out
It's like I'm making Boss Baby lol.
I cant find the images in my documents
Thanks for tutorials !! <3
thanks
sub and liked
please leave the download link of front and side image. I can't find them .
It wont let me download the reference images from the link.
Why wont it let me open the reference image file when I click the link?
hey whenever i select a face or edge is auto selects a second face that is parallel to it. do you know how i can select only one face?
Great video! Can you tell me please how did you select the references images to put them into a layer?
How do you make it so editing is symmetrical? I've made a cube shape for the body and I want to roughly push it in and pull it out to make the form of the body, but it doesn't mirror it on both sides? Like when you push in the waist, it pushes out the same amount from the other side instead of pushing in on both sides
how do you do so that the image grows to the size of the picture at iminute: #1:45 ? and finish at minute: #1:52 ?
