Maya Tutorials | Professional Practice | Resit Submission




Professional Practice | Resit Submission


Unfortunately, I was unable to finish the very last few texturing tutorials for Pipeline 1. This is because I was unable to progress as the 'Rivet' MEL code was not working. It's a shame as I wanted to have finished the whole creation of Jetpack Jones. I would like to resume the tutorials and finish off anything that has been left.

There are no ShaderFX tutorials completed as i couldn't double click on the Texture Map Node so that it would appear in the attributes layer. Despite ensuring that DirectX11 was installed. It has been recently been made to my attention that is might be a new bug in Maya.

Maya Tutorial | Games Assets | Maps 1-11






Part 1 - Base Normal Maps

45 Angle Rope Normal Map

90 Angle Rope Normal Map

Combined Rope Normal Maps

Rope Normals Attached to Bridge
Hypershade for Rope Normals
I feel the rope normal map tutorial was a success. I think learning how to overlay normal maps using different blending options was interesting. I certainly think that the final combined outcome doesn't look too bad.

Part 3 - Ambient Occlusion Maps








The ambient occlusion tutorial took longer than i expected at my own error. This is because I didn't freeze the transformations before I export out the .OBJ files. Thus leaving me with a white Occlusion map. This has since been fixed and can be seen in the GIFs Above. 



Part 4 - Base Diffuse Maps


Part 5 - Stone Base Maps
