For those of you who dont know about edit edge flow. It is under edit mesh - edit edge flow. This attempts to follow existing curves around your selected edges/verts. That most likely will easily fix the odd bulges that he was getting in the video a lot faster
Thanks so much. I love how you get to the heart of the matter while discussing all the relative pros and cons, whilst suggesting solutions and workarounds. Booleans. Finally. Like a whole new world.
Thank you for sharing the script because my model suddenly lost all the crease I've created and it would be a pain if I reselect all of them. Then I remembered I've watched this video you mentioned about auto find hard edge I thought It would be useless but now It has enlightened me that It makes creasing not boring as it used to. So thank you, sir ♥
Thanks for the tips ! In some simple cases doing polyRetopo directly works just as fine, even nicer results; as for any tools/software it demands many trials and errors, still fast and satisfying with those precious tips. I just never heard of those, didn't even know they were there xD
Thank you so much! I was really frustrated with this Retopology tool. That trick you did, forcing the Center Edge to be a hard Edge, is brilliant. I never thought of that. I was going about it a different way, ( A crappy and slower way) I was deleting one half of my geo, cleaning up the edges manually, and then using the mirror tool to duplicate and rebuild the model. Your method is way better. Now I can use this tool without being frustrated! Like you said, I was getting okay results, but it looked unprofessional. That one little trick has just solved so much stress :-) thank you again
I have a few hardsurface models that are just rotting in my library. I did not put them up for sale as the topo is too complex, too heavy and I was just na ahh. Not gonna spend 2 weeks retopologising some guns. This should change that. I already gave it a try and have some miracles :) Thanks a lot!!!!
GREAT video, thanks for the tips!!! Part of me loves the idea of Maya and Mudbox cross breading technology. But another part of me thinks this is the seed of Mays finally absorbing Mudbox. I like Mudbox as a stand-alone sculpting tool. But I see it losing to Zbrush so badly that making it part of a "full real 3d app" can be a great excuse for people/studios to swing towards Maya vs. Zbrush.
Hey there Play Creative! I stumbled upon your channel by accident. Awesome tips thank you . Had no idea Maya housed such brilliant nodes inside it. Automatic subscribe, keep up the awesome videos!
@Play Creative very cool, thanks for sharing this technique. Are those nodes available in older versions of Maya or just in 2019? Edit, never mind polyRemesh working in 2017 service pack 5, retopo not there.
Thanks Malcom, you've got some great tip videos too. They both work in 2018 onwards (wasn't aware of 2017sp5), but only on PC for now. I have it on good authority they'll be implemented properly some time in the near future. 😃
Nice, I would say the best 3D tool for finalizing your 3D stuff, but I am looking forward Blender. This year I will export to Blender completely, PBR textures / Maya Layout / Free. Substance + Maya = Blender 2.8 for 0 free. But it was a cool experience with 3ds Max and Maya, sadly prices is too much overpriced for a license production for a indie developer like me
@@SegaMegaLoh Yeah, I agree. But is completely free compare to 2k bucks tools from Autodesk. But Substance is 200$ toolkit - is a very good price to buy it !
Dude can you help me out. The polyRemesh works but the polyRetopo won't.When I tried to change the target face count error occur "Input mesh has multiple component". My mesh is type/text. Do you any idea?
@@playcreative5523 I'm using Maya 2018.6 on windows. I figure it out though. It's not working when I have more than 1 text object. Each text object/mesh needs to be separated to work properly. Anyways thanks for the respond.
What the... fucking brilliant. To fix the artifacting you could duplicate the original make it a live surface and snap converts onto the duplicate. This is going to save me hours. Thank you.
Hi dude, polyRemesh works good but polyRetopo doesn't work at all, I have mac os, and Maya 2018, how to fix it, maybe you know) I added it threw the script editor likeyou show, but still doesn't work. Thanks
This is Outstanding really superb cool for 3D modeller artist and i make sure sure for me to because myself Rony an animation CG & VFx student from india... sir i have one request to and that is i can seeing your description link below but i used windows OS platform and this version not support for windows platform so its a humble request upon you that kindly make these version for windows users also...
Hi Rony, if you're referring to the Online Course, the tutorials are done on a Mac but it's the same for both Mac and Windows. Only a few hotkeys are different (which I talk about in the course).

This is the best tip i have ever come cross on TH-cam for maya..... Please keep uploading more maya tips and tricks....thanks alot
Thanks Jameela!
This is going to make so many thing easier for Game artists! Love you 🙌🙌🙌🙌
May not be good for organic characters but insanely good for hard surface models

This is a gem. Upper and Lower Case are important.
You are skilled at tutorial videos! Very clear and concise. Thank you, for an amazing tip as well!
Cheers Mark - more to come soon!
This is CRAZY. I lost for words. Plz upload more videos. I will be waiting for you.
No more wasting time manually moving vertices to get that perfect topo, wonderful.
Thank you sooooooooo much !!! Why nobaby told me this at school...?? God bless you really, you just save my entire school projects ! ! 😀❤❤❤
This is gold how did anyone not tell me about this feature. Awesome vid 👌.
Great video, would love a 2024 version of this
I hope you will upload more tutorials, you explain very accurate and easy. Good job bro!
This is great. And thanks for the symmetry trick at the end. Quite clever.
Dude. You're an Ace. Great tut. Short and sweet yet full of detail of what is going on.
Thanks Chris - glad to hear you liked it!
OMG. this has put me back into CG Spectrum starting course. Your voice!:)
This makes my work lot more easier. Thanks and please do more videos!
pressing up and down arrow in the mel command line lets you repeat your last commands so you don't have to retype them constantly
Wow. This will bring my works more speed. Thanks dude. You are a life saver.
To the point, informative, pros&cons. Awesome video! Aaaand GREAT feature!
Thanks for this, you are so clear and precise when describing what you are doing and why. Thanks.
Thank you so much - I'm glad you liked it!
Thank you so much. I have been trying to figure out how to do this with booleans and bevel plus for years now.

Stop struggling, just use Zbrush already loll

polySelectConstraint -mode 3 -type 0x8000 -sm 1;

For remesh, retop or both?
This saves a lot of time. Just love that. Very simple and clean. Thank you..
Holly maccaroni, you made my day!
At work we still have maya 2018.1 and is working. I wonder when they did integrate this script?
I think as of v2018. You just made the cut!
@@playcreative5523 I'll have to try it now with some of the architectural crazy conversions I get from Sketchup. If that works man... I'm happy :)

P. S. Your voice is so amazing and calmy!
The internet has rotted my brain away and i can't unsee the helmet at 8:34 as an amogus, help

Nice, at the end Autodesk just joined us to the 2014 too! Amazing.

GET SOME JOB AND USE AUTODESK
I hope to have this as new feature at 20' version, the crash is strong right now
Soooo much helpful！ thank you so much！
they really need to just join mudbox and maya all ready
miguel nope.
you want programs to specialize in things so there is less bugs, and the user is not over whelmed.
thnx man this is gonna save lot of time
mind-blowing awesome hidden gem, how did you hear about it?
I dug it up in the Maya beta notes from what I remember. It's wizardry!
nice and clear tutorial, thanks
man you saved my life. you deserve my sub
Wow This is so impressive!
Thank you very much!
This is awesome man! A Time saver for sure. You got a subscriber
Cheers Avi!
i been using maya for like 15 years, only today did i learn that ctl + delete deletes edge + vert xD
I hope somebody create an AI smart-lowpoly-retopo tool in the future. This is good for ZBrush but far from an optimized retopo for realtime engine.
yea somebody ; someday
Thanks, I just stumbled upon this nice hidden feature(s).
This seems to be the same thing that Inventor uses internally for OBJ exports etc. Which does legit good topo for what it is.
amazing! this is a really helpful tip, thanks :)
keep it up man! this is really good stuff.
thank you, this is really useful.
yes this helps :P super useful , thanks for the neat and simple tut. :D
this was fantastic! thank you

Looks most impressive! Is it possible to do that in max?
It think it’d be best to import it as obj to maya and then sent it back to max. At least that’s what I would do
Really usefull thanks. I am waiting your next helpfulvideos
Great tutorial
simply wow and thank you
Fricking awesome! Thanks for sharing
9:07 Amogus
Thanks for sharing, when we're these nodes added and will it keep uv's?
EDIT:I see these nodes in Maya 2018 as well .
It will not keep UV's unfortunately. Still extremely useful though.
thanks a lot for sharing such tips !
Thanks!
