Today we had formative assesment with Jared, but my one would start in the afternoon so i was able to get help from Jamie who came into today to help the class, i first met Jamie when i was in first year and we were learning to build model faces. The first problem i found was that the boleans tool was not functioning properly, i asked Jamie what the problem was and he said that this is one of the glithes that occur when using the boleans tool, there was nothing that i could do to fix it as it was a problem within Maya.
The second problem i encounterd was with the extrude tool, the problem i found was that each time i extrude it outwards if would leave a whole in the front face of the polygon. I wanted to know the reason for this and how i can over come it, when asking Jamie he said again this yet again another problem within in Maya and is just one of those glitches. He said the only way to get around this would be to just extrude the edges down and snap the vertices to the bottom row, this is something which i aslo considerd but was only last option as this is more time consuming.
After the talk Jamie was talking about how i had modelled my car i said that it was done with polygon for the bonet sub ds for the top and nurbs for the wheel. Jamie stated that will lead to problems in the long run, because the car is made up from different elements and it should just by one whole polygon for the car. I know what he is talking abut as i tried to animate the car which ended up being a nightmare because the car was not combined as a whole unit but only parented together, this caused problems when moving the car foward as one par of the car would move and oter parts would saty staionary.
At the end i had a little chat about UV and how i could apply it to my car, he said it would only be used when applying patterns and stickers to the car just like modded up cars. But seeing as how im having the car brand sapnking shinning new i would just have to apply the car paint sahder to it. Over all Jamie helped me out alot
