Bring believable characters to life with engaging. The only minor airbrushing is applied to the hair and feathers, and a couple small composite mask bleeds around the rock. Maya is professional 3D software for creating realistic characters and blockbuster-worthy effects. Final renders we created in Maya Mental Ray and composites in Photoshop. Textures were started in Photoshop and finished in Zbrush and Cinema 4D Body Paint and are all hand painted. The models were started in Maya and finished in Zbrush. I decided I finally wanted to wrap up this project so I spent a week wrapping it up and putting together renders for this composite. Maya 3d graphics designing software was developed by Autodesk and named as Autodesk Maya. It took me down some rabbit holes between not having a strong enough computer to complete the sculpt at one point, obsessing over color detail from all angles thinking about maybe a 3D print or animated poster which lead to wanting to attempt a real hair sim (which ended up being a deep deep rabbit hole, but I settled on a sculpt with a little paint over in the final image here).

It’s always been my experimental piece so a lot of the stuff on here I hadn’t tried before at the time.

Ihave no idea how long I ever actually spent on it but probably way too long. I started this project a long long time ago and have worked on it on and off. I wanted this image to fall somewhere between surreal and realistic much like the character and comic do, so hopefully it achieves this.

The Maxx is a very abstract character that changes form quite a bit from image to image, but this my culmination of the character existing in the Outback of Pangaea. After learning Maya, you’ll be so familiar with this fundamental software that you’ll be ready to jump right into learning character animation.This is my take on Sam Keith’s The Max. This workshop will familiarize you with the basics of using Maya, including how to navigate the interface and 3D space, as well as the tools used for animation. There are no required skills to join, but we ask that you bring enthusiasm for animation and a desire to learn. The Maya Workshop is not graded to help you feel comfortable learning the software at your own pace.
