Its refreshing to see someone making tutorials of this standard for Maya. those are extremely rare. Loving every video so far man.

hey man, just came across your amazing tutorials. I've been using Maya for years, and still managed to learn some new methods thanks to you. thanks for giving back to the community!!

It is so hard to find anything related to hard-surface modeling in Maya so you are truly my savior here! Keep up the great work!

Another great tutorial, I really love this channel.

Well done. Thanks very much ❤️

I really like the reorientation of a mesh that has its local coordinates totally misaligned back into world coordinate frame, but this tip inspired me to take it one step further. Your model in this example has plains that can line up perfectly with the world coordinate frame, but in the case of a model that is perhaps more organic, angular, etc. (what I will call a 'complex mesh') that does not have those faces then you can create sort of a reorientation cube (what I will call a 'reorientation cube' lol) at the start of the modeling process as a precautionary measure, put it off to the side and combine it with the mesh you will be modeling. If at any point during the modeling process the mesh's coordinate frame is no longer the same as the world's then we can use the complex mesh's reorientation cube in your method instead of trying to kinda fudge it with the surfaces on the complex mesh itself, thereby returning the mesh back into the world coordinate frame perfectly. I know this does require foresight, but if anyone wants to be taking 3D modeling seriously it is something they might want to consider. Thanks for the tips bro! And I hope my contribution will help someone out.

Been doing 3D for years and I even learned something thanks, dude. The reorientating a model was definitely helpful. It was always painful to do it by hand.

Thanks for the great tips. Here’s one for you that others make like too. Lower your screen resolution to match your upload video size. That way your large screen resolution recording won’t look tiny and blurry when downsized yo 1080p. It’s also helpful for guys watching KZfaq videos on their lTVs.

Great tutorial. I'm very new to Modeling and this has helped me a lot. ty!

Man, you got skills!

Even after 4 years of age, this video is really great and informative. Thank you JL!

Usefull! thank you!

middle mouse click on menu? Whaat?! didn't know that, thanks.

Nice tutorial. Every time better, keep going.

Thx for video, never head about this snap align tool.

The best HSM YT tutorial that I've found so far. Thumbs up JL.

Thank you for this ! I learned a lot!

Thank you JL

Cool tips, never tried the snap together tool. Keep em coming

Thank you very nice tutorial

Dude this was seriously helpful.

These hacks were really great. Wish I had see this video years ago

Thx a lot, cool tricks !

Merci Mussi! useful stuff

love you bro you are grate teaching

loved it

what only 40 mil subs? you deserve more !!

ur best thnks for teaching us

I didn't pressing delete key deletes any hanging verts on an object. Awesome vid man.

you know this moment when you watch a movie and you see a character you like miss some key thing and you like want to scream 'duude look! you missed that'? That was me at around 11:00 - "JL, bro, you've selected only oooneeee half of the sixth! JL, nooo not calculator, your math was fine!" Jokes aside, it was a very good tutorial

Can you make video on " how to use materials in maya" like the materials you used in model you create?

Some really helpful tips, thanks a bunch! In the video you mention your muscle menu memory has declined since the use of hotkeys. A video on your most used hotkeys would be one I'd be very interested in!

Thank You...I Punched Subscribed and bell icon... :)

life saving trick with the snap objects together to recenter object to world

Hey I am a big fan of your work and your Hard Surface modeling in Maya and can you make a tutorial in hard surface character modeling

like and subscribed...

very intrusting to see your tutorial bro. it was very learn able and entertainment also bro, keep dooning bro

17:00 what i would do (a bit faster I think): - Delete the inner square line - Select the cylinder edge (where the union happened) - Bevel (exact distance on every vertex) with option to increment segment (you got 3 line with one command)

Bridging on 16:10 looks twisted but you can mess with the bridge twist setting to get the bridge to align the way you want it.

If you bridge and the faces gets a little bit twisted.. In the bridge setting there is a twist setting that does a great job fixing those faces.

Great Video. I have a question. You snapped the wrench that has flat surfaces, but how would you snap something like a rotated torus to a cube?

Hello JL Mussi- Can you explain how we can create libraries of parts so whenever we start a project we have a pool of assets to make the time go faster in putting together a character from our created folders? Thanks

What hotkey did you use to increase the bevel segments?

How do you increase the amount of segments while beveling? What shortcut magic is that?

thanks jl mussi __ 감사합니다. 항상~~~ please uplaoding keep going to_#gumload, cubebrush etc~~^^ have a nice day. me and my frineds are your fan. i am s. korean.

How did you duplicate the cylinder/ create a new one with the exact same dimensions at like 14:12? :)

Instead of scaling -1 in duplicate special you can rotate and add the number. Divide the amount of planes by 360 ( example you want 6 radial symmetrical sides, 36 degrees , then just add 5 copies

Hey JL, hope your doing good. I really like your videos, I have a question. In 3Ds Max if you select a polygon hold shift and drag you can duplicate that polygon and then begin modelling a new shape, is there any way this same procedure can be done in Maya?

I recently modeled a transistor with a heatsink hole in it. I didnt have an idea of the boolean that time, and it was painstaking deleting every faces on a circle, and it aint smooth. Any way thanks for the tutorial

Bevel hotkey: Ctrl + B

Lol the outro part

You have a microphone but you use the camera audio?

Please tell me how did you do fingers. I’ve broke my brain already. Thanks!

Hi Mussi thank you for your great tutorials. i just watched your video on passive income for Artists. Please can you do a video on steps to takes to do a registration on IMVU and Second Life. i have tried but it not working.

Hi Mr Mussi, on 14:10 how u create a cylinder with previous settings? i try ctrl+D ,but all setting cannot change because of no history? maybe is a very silly question..

Please sir smartphone modelling tutorial upload this

"spoon feed Maya the first one"

What were the other 4?

Yup! I am an Art Major - I hate math!!

Start at 1:40

It's a shame there is such a lack of tutorials out there for MAYA. Everyone is going Blender.

I wonder why the mirror tools are still so shitty in Maya. I've been using it for like 16 years, and I love it, but why haven't they come up with a mirror deformer or something, something that is always active, no matter how freestyle you're modelling. Maya's mirroring is completely useless when you intend to use meshsmoothed objects unless you prepare some fancy setup beforehand that takes care of the welding by some serious nodemagic. I wish Autodesk was flexible like Blender who actually listen to their customers. ;)

Hi sir I'm a junior level 3d modeling artist.....can you give me freelancing work....

What happened to your head you shaved it . Even though we love you bro !

Can tell by the way you pronounce boolean that you aren't a programmer :P It's not pronounced bool-een. It's pronounced exactly how it's spelled, bool-e-an.
