Rendering with wireframe in Maya

            

                  In 3D industry, 3D model designers rendered their model with the wire frame for the presentation or behind scene of the movie, so audience can see the topology of the model while looking at the detail of the model. If you are using Maya for the 3D modeling and animation you can use contours rendering in mental ray. Now lets see how to render your scene with wire frame.

Maya facial animation using Zbrush

                                 
                             In this post I'm going to show you how to create a facial animation using Maya and Zbrush. You can do a facial animation using joints but this method is very useful when you going to do very smooth and sharp animation. In here I'm going to do small smile animation.

Adding vinyls to car paint material

                              Adding vinyls to car model is very easy when you are using Maya stock materials like blinn. You can use alpha maps directly through transparent attribute of the material. But when you go to mi car paint material you have to use layered shader and surface shader. Before go through this tutorial you have to create a vinyl texture and and alpha map because I'm not going to show it here.
