How to change xyz in maya Videos

Excellent tutorial and thanks for NewWay India :)

For me XYZ Axis near by. what can i do

+Mike Hermes Yes.I thought of that already - but then it should divide by 2.54 not 2.Obviously I can just double the measurement and the model will be up to scale, but I don't think this is the best solution.

+teredaable What is your grid set to ? centimeters ?

+Sam Fisher Sam, that wouldn't really work because if the image in Maya isn't scaled properly, the measurements are off. If the grid seetings are incorrect, same problem.

+Lokolopes7 I think you would use photoshop to create the reference image that using the correct measurements and then bring the reference image in maya and start modelling the object according to the reference image.

+Lokolopes7 Not to my knowledge

+Yam ThouHing What changes ?

+Yam ThouHing No idea, never did it and not sure it is possible

+Mike Hermes lol, I just figured you can just select the indicator and place it where ever you want xDSnaping it to verts is no prob. Using a point constraint works if you want the distance between their centers I guess. Dun think I'll need to too often. But it's cute.thx m8

+3D Isgreat You are correct !If your model is 10 cm and you change your presets from cm to meters the model doesn't change, just the unitsMike

+Mike Hermes I had one more question, sorry for all the questions.  so if I model in cm(default)  and say I make a 7ft plank. I model it at 213.36 cm? so really, the scene is still as big as ft just in a different measurement?  The reason I ask this is because when people use bifrost, they model either in cm or meters ( I know bifrost works in meters)  and not sure if there scaling down there models after built or not to get there large scenes? or if there models are so small and that each unit is cm bifrost is using each unit as a meter so there big scene can be done with say 12 cm there actually getting like 40 feet.

+3D Isgreat Hi there,To make a long answer short, your reasoning is correct.Mike

+Mike Hermes ok, I was getting confused by I thought you can change the grid to say miles and then change the working units under preferences to feet. I guess it would be much easier to keep it at meters than just use Google free unit conversion to make 6 feet in meters would be 1.8288 . but if I were to use bit frost, wouldn't I have to scale down say a coast scene because bit-frost can only be so big I think 10 meters, so I would have to model like in kilometers?

HI,I am bit confused but what you are saying but this is the way it is.1. Under preferences you can set you grid settings to centimeters, meters etc. This will then be the measurement of one square on your grid. So if I were to model 2 city blocks I would set my grid preference to meters. 2. Would this have an effect of 2D external texturing files used ? Yes of course.Is this what you are asking ?Mike

Glad I could help you out...As a note Maya 2013 will create a position pass for you now in the render passes.

U r the hero...

e n e r g y :)

great stuff .

+Naty A. Yes. I know it revolves all around Riley's life, but that doesn't always mean she's gonna be the main person. But I know Lucaya is gunna happen

It's gonna happen the world Recolves around Riley and this is just more drama to get people really interested

+caoimhe Mccay OKAY. LUCAS (Peyton) IS MINE DEN AND IM NOT A WHATEVER U SAID. STUPID

I think it has been forced in everything after girl meets Texas but not before. But that's just my opinion

+rebecca gaskell Nope. Lucaya is forced asf and that put me off.

Austin is that you with ally kissing

HAAAA KSENER U GOT REEKT SUCCKER!

Just because people like lucaya doesn't mean they should shut up, no one will "shut up" about it and personally I think you should shut up for saying that. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and you should respect that.

I completely agree with you but they have their opinions so.... And I think Maya should go with Farkle...

Rucas

+alice renestoWhat do u like AliceRucas or Lucaya?

+Kaddy Kongira people care cuz they watch the show and are fans and so are obviously interested in the couples. Its like this with every show.

+Mariyah Amla cuz they friend that's why he don't say anything or maybe Lucas Likes mya and why do u care what they do or who the couple should be

+alice renestoYour welcome:)

+Mariyah Amla

+alice renestoThat is correct!!!!

+Mariyah Amla rucas definitely rucas =)

+alice renestoI mean Rucas!

+alice renestoDo u like Ruzas or Lucaya

+Taylor Reed second that =)

+Taylor ReedOk I understand but that was my opinion and I understand this is ur opinion so thank you for explaining stuff for me.

+Mariyah Amla there are plenty of other reasons why he lets her make fun of him all the time. And when brother and sisters make fun of each other, it's not really in a teasing way at least not like Maya is doing it to Lucas. I have a brother myself but it's not that intense. I guess that's my own opinion though.

+Mariyah Amla exactly i absolutely agree with u i love rucas i just said that to avoid any more conflict

+alice renestoI don't want it to happen caz its like Lucas is Maya's brother 'coz he doesnt say anything when Maya teases him

+Nelcious Dahn right now they are maybe lucaya will happen later on in the show who knows ☺

+Mariyah Amla because in the show in season 1 it was all Riley and Lucas but now in season 2 all we see pretty much is Maya and Lucas and they have more chemistry then him and Riley so this is why people ( like me ) ships them so hard

+alice renesto no they are not

I totally agree with you! Rucas all the way. I honestly feel if lucaya became a thing, the show would be ruined I do love maya and lucas though. The show needs to add more Rucas because they are real

+Helder Pinto i do not understand why there is no liest of softwares which is best suited for xy and z?! example: every knows that maya is the best animation tool or not? so we can create a list which tells which osftware is good to use

+Nape Lazam The word better is very relative, it's whatever you're more used to it. I personally prefer xnormal.

+Helder Pinto so modo or houdini is better or? 

+Nape Lazam Maya only uses one core, it's ridiculous.

+kev gi No problems ;)

+Sean Salomaa Wow, that was a big complement! Glad that the tutorial is being useful to you. Happy Learning :)

Hey man, great tutorial. Can't wait to watch all parts. A little question though, how do I scale down the model? I imported it into maya and its huge! The Scale tool doesn't fix it, as the parts scale independently from each other. Perhaps I could make the grid bigger instead? haha. Thanks

Cool man ! I also have to create a rig for a given character, i really wasn't following the lessons well so i have to get up with this, i have 12 days left now, hope i can make it, still need to learn alot during this process, any tips or so about not getting stuck or ruin my rig ?

Your voice isn't depressing, I find it very instructing and professional! I was wondering though, how much time does it take for you to rig a character like this? And how long for the modeling part? Vänliga hälsningar från Sverige! :)

I've watched a number of your videos and I like your voice! I don't find it boring or depressing at all, you also make some rather hilarious comments sometimes! Thanks for making these videos, they've been a great help to me!

Your tutorial is good, but I can't understand well what u say sometimes, and you have a very slow and depressing tone of voice, like if you were extremely bored, fix that cause it's annoying and unprofessional.

Hey MrChaserox I recommend that you search on google after Adam Dewhirst modelling. He made some really cool modelling tutorials :) On how to model a cartoony character. Good luck ;)

I recently created a skeleton with character controllers but it is hard because the character is too big. How can I resize the bones, the controller and the model

@dpombo160 , 'professionals' don't give a crap if the modeler/rigger's voice sounds 'depressing', I would say that's a pretty immature comment to leave, grow up.

you can select the group or make a group, by selecting all the objects and pressing ctl + G. This group you can scale or do whatever you want with :)

I'm a student too, I need to make a biped model and rig in 5 days including zbrush sculpt. I haven't done much rigging before..

Hey man, great tutorial! However, you should upload the model .mb so everyone can follow along. Keep up the great work!

hi, before i start following your tuts, i wanna know, does your rigging tuts cover muscle rigging as well? thanks :)

@dpombo160 it is just the way danish people speak. watch our minister of foreign interests: /watch?v=CTozrTpxldM

Great tutorials, thanks for posting! What software do you use to do your screen / sound recording?

hey man!! Recently was working on some new rig techniques....and these one is epic..>Thanks maan

@dpombo160 I'm glad for your feedback. But I don't agree that my voice is directly depressing?

thanks for the tutorials I have learned a whole lot and have watched a lot of your videos.

@dpombo160 His voice is not depressing!! You haven't seen a lot of tutorials have you?

@XeroTehGreat Really constructive comment, thanks a lot :) Im glad you could use it.

Intro beats are tight. What is it. I want the whole thing. your voice is fine btw.

thank for this awesome tutorial . It's easy to understand for newbie like me ^^.

Are you danish, ? Your english sounds bit like the 'danish style'

This is awesome! Just what I needed. Where do you go to school?

whats the name of the intro track? pretty catchy...

Could you give us a link of the finished character?

rape a character xD kiddin man nice tutorial :)

i also would like to know the intro song?...
