Hi, I use Maya and i’m trying to find the best way of lighting / textring / rendering to get a realistic human head.
Does anyone know of a tutorial or maybe an example on this board that shows this?
I’ve found that Max always has EXCELLENT rendered faces where as Mayas are never quite as good… could someone prove me wrong! Show me some great maya examples?
thanks…
There are a lot out there…just check out CGSociety, 3DTotal, and even here you might find maya samples. And what can be done in Max (with Mental Ray) can be done easily in Maya, or Softimage (with MR too). You have to adopt the tutorials. By the way check out Max Kor’s elf girl (CGSociety has a making of article), this is one of the best realistic female head done in Maya.
And don’t forget, Max is yet the most popular application among artists, that’s why you find more tutorials. It doesn’t mean, that’s it’s the best. IMO Softimage is the best, I have a friend who thinks Maya is the best. So read the tutorials, and adopt them.
