Creating custom assets (Maya) - Acies - 02-15-2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=S4bf75BbVnA#t=30s People ask the question... what's a real modder? And I tell 'em - it's not about jumpscares, poofers, and a watered down story, oh no. There's more there than that, my friend. We all create parts of a good mod - some the assets, some the scares, others the puzzles, the story, or the gameplay. But a real modder, oh, he's different. Why? Because a real good modder makes the fucking lot. Getting started with Maya? This tutorial will probably help you out! In it I will quickly explain: 1. Maya + basic controls; camera etc. 2. Creating basic geometry 3. Creating a shelf 4. UV-Mapping 5. Simple high-poly and transfer maps 6. Having nDO2 in your workflow 7. Creating textures for Amnesia 8.
