Can you make a video on how to texture a house?

[@ivantu658]

Thanks Mike for this tutorial. It's my first and it has helped me grasp most of the basics of MAYA.

[@kalliemitchell2808]

At the moment, you are so much better at teaching this then my teacher, so i thank you for getting me through my college class. Your a life saver!

[@MHTutorials3D]

Thank you Kallie !

[@Otherworlded]

Thank you very much. I have an assignment I have to do in Maya and I was feeling lost until I watched this video.

[@advancedesignbyanurag]

great toturial sir thank you..but at end the shadow was going to the direction of rays coming from hdri..

[@bobflipinHHH]

thank you i learned so many new techniques!

[@robmoreno2599]

loved the video, it was a simple step by step process. the main issue I have now...and its a big one. Is properly importing it into a game engine. This might not be something you do of course, but I would probably have to properly attach these objects and then import them as an fbx right?

[@sparklesapp6853]

Could you please show the channel box/ layer editor window when you create objects, so we can have the true idea of the size / scale of the object that you are creating....thank you

[@KalyD96]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. You helped me tremendously for my 3D modeling final.

[@MHTutorials3D]

You are very welcome

[@sharathkumar2176]

can you please tell me about your pc specifications , we are in search for a 3d rendering cpu , it will be much help full [ we need the pc in a budget]

[@WhimzyWatch]

Hey mike its great to learn from your tuts but need a little favor from you can you suggest a RUclips channel from where i cam learn organic or character modeling... Please
Thank you

[@user-ns5ji8fw4k]

Thank you for video, I belived that I can do it! Tellme how long you need to learned it?

[@dain_pom]

Thanks for the video, a hands-on demo on designing standard architecture like this helps a lot! I'd like to ask one question, though. What if your client requested your 3D building designs to comply with certain building standards such as The International Code Council's or American Design Drafting Association's? Would you leave the compliance issue to architectural drafters or else?

[@Vany18796]

Hi Mike :D
I just want to say thank you for your tutorials!
Im a german Student from Bavaria studying interactive media. We also have to work with maya. And since I started waching your Videos I love 3D modeling!

[@GingerTurquoise]

[@m7mdrf3t]

[@MHTutorials3D]

I have considered it but that would be like 8 hours of video

[@lucaszanek6204]

Thanks bro.. Im student of video Game Development .. And i studying maya... And i build this house complete.. Thanks for all!!!! Im from Argentina!

[@MHTutorials3D]

Thank you Lucas !

[@Servbot42]

I am very excited to make this house!

[@MHTutorials3D]

Great !

[@Midz13]

As someone who's starting out, this was super informative for loads of little issues I have coming from someone who works more literally with stuff like inventor which is more creating shapes from lines, not from polygons.
I recently installed Mental ray and was wondering where you got all your awesome sky images?
Thanks a lot and keep it coming :)

[@MHTutorials3D]

[@BlueDragonMusicPromotions]

i want to up down right left one time bedroom after render how is software

[@oloierdorel5630]

Thanks ,very educational.

[@MHTutorials3D]

Thank you

[@SWEmanque]

When you remove one face, wouldn't it be faster to simply hide all objects that are not the one you want to remove one face from so that you can access the face you want to remove, instead of putting it in place just to move it, remove the face and then move it back again?

[@PredatoR-rp9rk]

Hii, Can you provide the HDR Image you used on background ? : )

[@sobhanasghari114]

Perfect.

[@Findingme2121]

Little tip you need to give step by step very detail instructions for those of us who are new to Maya and don’t really know to use it

[@MHTutorials3D]

I did over 1100 videos. I am sure there are tons that meet your skill level

[@MeanMachine995]

How do you have mental ray for Maya 2017? I don't have the option in the programm and when I look on the nvidia page it says "coming soon for Maya 2017"

[@MeanMachine995]

Oh my bad 🙈 Just saw the video 😂

[@valterqueiroz7224]

Excellent video, tough to see that you are not recognized as you should. Congratz

[@MHTutorials3D]

Appreciate that Valter !

[@wesleys147]

Great! Can u help me? Do i really need to use "offset edge loop tool" for my house don't be affected by the smooth of the number "3"? Or theres a way that i can model and keep thing "square" without have to add new edges on it's every single corner?

[@MHTutorials3D]

Yes , use the crease edge tool ( I did a video on that )

[@wesleys147]

Thank you so much, man. It's hard to find those thing in PT.

[@BlueBerryCharmzz]

How would I go about making like a replica of a real house but in 3d? Like if I had a picture of a house that I want to create in maya

[@MHTutorials3D]

Basically follow the same principles but use good reference images

[@joshorali8643]

Very helpful tutorial.would you make a tutorial on how to model and animate a helicopter.

[@F1WW13]

Great video!
I noticed around 13:45 that extruding those different faces were giving you problems. What I do when I want to scale multiple faces on the same space is turn off "keep faces on" and click on the blue extrude box on the move tool. After that I can scale down or up using the center box on the transform. Hope I explained that okay :P Thanks for another great tut!

[@MHTutorials3D]

Dennis, you did and thank you. I am for some reason missing a small menu that I used to get when hitting extrude

[@F1WW13]

It does that from time to time for me too, it's so annoying. If you haven't figured it out yet (which I'm sure you have) I would try maybe resetting your settings to default. Cheers, Mike

[@puding_coco]

thanks for tutorial, i have a question for where did you find good environment picture?

[@MHTutorials3D]

[@puding_coco]

Thank you so much!

[@hitchhiker7033]

How to Zoom in , for immediatly focus on object? like on 1:03:41 ??

[@DourgeshRamlochun]

Hey Mike can u do Talking cartoon in after effects plzzzz!!!!!!!

[@MHTutorials3D]

Will see what I can do

[@malcolmmorin]

1:38, I'm doing it exactly as it shows here, but when I bring down the top of the roof, the bottom of the block also bends, where it doesn't in the video. What am I doing wrong?

[@MHTutorials3D]

Well if you are doing exactly the same you should have the same result.Do you have vertices selected that are not part of the roof ?

[@malcolmmorin]

Never mind, I fixed it. I had soft select (b) on and that caused the issue. :)

[@redtarget43]

love you Mike... more than chocolate cake .

[@MHTutorials3D]

[@StephenWebb1980]

[@MHTutorials3D]

In this specific case yes, but normally no

[@leonsyla2638]

could you model an oil rig/platform?

[@MHTutorials3D]

Export as an OBJ or FBX file out of Maya and then import into Nuke

[@tettehjohn8039]

when i move my vertices it moves the other side as well, what should i do

[@MHTutorials3D]

Turn off symmetry

[@patiencezero1025]

I have Maya 2013. there is no modeling toolkit. is there an alternative I can use for the multi cut tool?

[@MHTutorials3D]

Yes, the split edge tool ( can be found in the top menu ) I don't remember exactly but you can Google it :-)

What is the problem ?

[@alexbleakley9629]

Same problem, followed the instructions step for step, but when trying to create the bend for the roof it doesn't bend from the centre point, it brings the whole face down. Hope that makes sense!

[@dmike9916]

Hi how you move mouse ??

[@MHTutorials3D]

With a 3D Connexion mouse

[@SVisionary]

It would be preferable to see an entire video game house asset that the player could walk into. Better yet, design it to be modular so people can see the entire pipeline. That would be the greatest tutorial of them all and it's considerably more in depth and helpful. Don't forget to include the texturing process. Regardless, all your videos have been helpful but I do wish this one include more common and useful methods for game development. Cheers.

[@MHTutorials3D]

I have done many "full workflow" videos lately from A to Z

[@SVisionary]

Hey, appreciate the reply Mike. I guess I missed them, I'll have a look around and see.

RebusFarm renders images and batch renders ( animations ) on their servers instead of on your system so instead of hours it takes minutes
