RE: Hello I'm a modeller - Hermoor - 05-23-2011
Here are logical steps you should go through:
1.Download maya (Trial or download it illegaly, since you don't profit from this). (1hour)
2.Learn basic of maya (1-2days)
3.Learn to rig in maya (1-3hours)
4.Learn to animate in maya (Maybe weeks)
5.Figure out how to place it in game (4 hours maybe)
How to do all this without being in a school with a teacher at front helping you out?
-Use brain
-Be patient
-Use youtube and google
Good luck, btw this is how I learnt to model and texture in blender

Hi I have rigged the girl. Faulty rigging though. Ill see if I can fix it. New to this stuff.
RE: Hello I'm a modeller - Hermoor - 05-23-2011
Oh good, let us know when you have some animation for her. Or if you manage to get her into the game...

what would be great is a messy bed
i suggested this in the request for models thread
RE: Hello I'm a modeller - Acies - 05-24-2011
The rigging seems to work ok now. Some texture errors (I don't know why). I'll try to make 1 animation then export the model. See how it looks in-game.
RE: Hello I'm a modeller - Hermoor - 05-24-2011
Give a screen of these texture errors...
RE: Hello I'm a modeller - MrBigzy - 05-24-2011
By texture errors do you mean the some vertices went all wacko on you?
RE: Hello I'm a modeller - Acies - 05-24-2011
It imported into modelview all right (no texture errors). There is some error with the animations though, will have to look at it later. Now I know how to rig bipedals though
Edit: FYI: The problem is that the only part of the animation plays. Arm movement etc. is missing. Imported it back to Maya and it seemed it has created a new skeleton for the arms. I don't know why at this point.

Oh, for the textures, if you mean there were errors in model view, make sure you triangulate the model.
