In this short tutorial we will model, texture ( UV ) and animate the lemon to fall into two pieces.

  1. Great Tutorial as always MH, I wouldn't be able to do anything with Maya if it weren't for your videos.

    In this video though when you extracted the two halves of the lemon mine keeps separating all the different faces of the pulled away half, and that makes it impossible to follow any further steps, so I just sit there with a lemon in my hand, thinking of making Margaritas 😉

    Would appreciate your guidance on that.

  2. When I click on hypershade, there is no workarea, there is just tabs and when I move labert the yellow one on the area , there just a list appears. so I can't move the fractals on the lemon. Can you help me, please? (maya 2017)

  3. Hi there – At the point in the tutorial when you select half of the lemons faces and then abstract and separate the two halves nothing happens on my end. It remains a whole lemon. Any idea of what may cause this? Thank you!

  4. Hi Mike!
    I've been watching your vids for the last couple of weeks and your teaching is outstanding!
    I had one problem with this one, when I clicked play the lemon fell through the plane! And I double checked that I had clicked create passive rigid body on it like 5 times! Can't work out what to do!
    And also, I'm sure you have a very busy schedule, but do you think you could include a tutorial on modeling architectural environments? Maybe you could do a series! I'm reall struggling with render setting and lighting, both for inside and outside Static shots.
    Thanks heaps for everything!

  5. There's a quicker way to re-arrange the inside of the lemon slice, click on the 'UV' tab, then 'Planner', But this tutorial is really useful for learning to animate! (used maya 2016 so things were a little different with certain tools)

  6. Hi, Hello and Hi again, 

    Whatever… 
    Well, thank you! A lot! For really helping me out with yout tutorials 😀 
    Now I know what I could do for a presentation in school (topic: recreate a maya tutorial. Very productive, right? Yeah… we have a real nice teacher… not! I mean, we started using Maya in September and now we are supposed to act like pros… why not)  Anyways… I like this tutorial, I tried it, I can do it and now this is going to be it: My recreation of a Maya tutorial in front of a pretty big class and my very, very, very nice teacher… Nevermind 😉 
    Thank you! 

  7. Would the same rigid body technique work for making a ball roll on cue after being struck by another rigid body object?

    I've been trying to figure out how to make balls roll realistically on a pool table.
