It's not dead, it's taking a break :) Well, I started a new job a few months ago and it's been a bit crazy and I am also in the middle of a move. Once i'm all settled, with my new home office, I'll start recording again. Thanks for all the support thus far, I'm glad my dumb little tutorials are helping some people.
Your tutorials are very in-depth and you never rushed. AND YOUR WORK FLOW IS UNIQUE. If you do character rigging tuts that will be really good. Keep it coming.
Currently, I'm taking the basics of 3d lecture at my uni, but I'm using this to spice up my module project with some flashy animation, I'm so glad you explain what ur clicking cuz I'm such a noob at Maya atm.
Exsulator Because ncloth is moving the vertices, not the object itself. The lower chain’s transformations in world space aren’t changing so doing a constraint won’t work. That’s why using rivet, which constrains onto component edges works.
Awesome Video. super helpful, though I did have to hunt the script down. Now I have a question; How would one attach the chain to a handle in order to make a flail?
Alex Cheparev thank you for your answer!! It helped me alot !! :) i've just started learning maya. Your videos turned into my direction thanks:) i'll wait for your video~
Thank you Alex, I am a new subscriber to your wonderful channel. I have a question, how do I do the first step without making a script? Is it possible?
Hey Alex, what video card driver version (assuming its a gtx nvidia) are you using for maya 2017 update 3? or 2017 in general? I keep getting these hardcore freezes either have to terminate maya in task manager or restart computer... killing me!
I'm using the latest, 382.05. This happened to me before, there was a driver that caused issues with maya freezing, but that was a little while ago. It could also be a lot of other things, maybe try uninstalling maya and deleting all maya folders and preferences and start fresh.
Ah thanks man, good to know 382 is stable. Yeah I did a complete maya and even OS refresh. Turns out it was bonus tools 2017, had to disable a specific script. This issue: mayafeedback.autodesk.com/forums/160518-small-annoying-things-to-fix-in-maya-forum/suggestions/18528601-rmb-marking-menu-freezes-maya-2017
Such a big fan of you and your content! Great tutorial thank you for posting this. I have a question regarding dynamic. there might be couple of ways to do it for sure, it just seems unlikely to fix it myself. I'm meant to simulate beads similar to your object but unconnected with each other. any time I go create passive collider after creating ncloth to it. It only applies for some beads not all. therefore the beads tend go separately. I would want it to be able to move all together. I have no idea what to do it would be greatly appreciated if you could help me with this
it was a bit hard for me, had to figure it out my self. I will try to explain what I did: first: throw the rivet.bmp file into the folder "C:\Users\*UserName*\Documents\maya\*YOURVERSION*\prefs\icons" second: in maya, go to the shelf editor and, on the shelf named "Custom" create a new icon(under shelf contents), name it Rivet, and locate the icon where you've throw the Rivet.bmp third: open the file "rivet.mel" with a text editor and copy everything inside it. last: back to the on the shelf editor window in maya, go to the "command" tab and paste what you copied. if you did everything right, you should have the Rivet Tool under the Custom tab by now. Ask if anything wasn't understood.
Manish Kapoor yes you can. Just be aware as scenes get heavy you will start to eat up more and more ram. At work I'm usually hovering at about 20gb of ram on heavy scenes. Some go way over 32gb.
So sad to see this nice channel dead.
It was one of the best for maya modelling.
Good luck with whatever else you try!

Great to hear, i hope that new job is something you wanted and like. :)

Thank you Alex. Great Maya - Zbrush tutorials. These are first modeling tutorial series without iritating, excessive background music.

ALEX CHEPAREV UPLOADED A VIDEO *BREATHES HEAVILY*
I love your videos so much! THANK YOU!
Haha, thanks!

Alex Cheparev
your vedios are the best maya tutorials in youtube
agreed
Hi! What did you click on 11:43 ?
To add bevels, hold SHIFT+Right Click to access tool marking menu, select Bevel, click on Chamfer to turn on hard bevels.
Awesome turorial! Thank you!
Hey Alex! Thanks for sharing this lesson. This is something I can use for future work.
script can work on maya 2017 and 2018 ?
Love your videos. Keep 'em coming!
OMg that was amazing tutorial. I'm just like DAMN at the end
awesome ... what can i do if i want to replace the chain with a metal wire or rope? please suggest me., thank you.
Is it okay to wrap it directly in lowchain instead of constraining the chain to the rivet locator?
WOW! When I clicked the subscribe button, I saw your name, it looks very familiar. Wait! I’m taking your 3D Animation III Class next Year!
Rivet link not working
How to install the rivet script? there are no instructions and the author's page is gone, can't make it work
Спасибо за видео. Очень нравятся, жаль что выходят не очень часто. Удачи Вам и успехов!
Thanks a lot for the tip Alex!
your way to make a chain is surprisingly clever.
btw, what render engine did you use at the end?
But why can't you just parent constrain the chain geo's directly to the lowres chains? I tried, it didn't work, but why?
Exsulator Because ncloth is moving the vertices, not the object itself. The lower chain’s transformations in world space aren’t changing so doing a constraint won’t work. That’s why using rivet, which constrains onto component edges works.
@@AlexCheparev Oh, that makes sense! It works well, it's fast and functional! Thanks for the tut
Have you given up on the channel? It is one of the better ones out there.
Get Rekt I've started a new job and just moved. Haven't had the time to record more tutorials. Will definitely record more very soon.
You make Maya great
Where is the Rivet function in 2017?
Awesome Video. super helpful, though I did have to hunt the script down. Now I have a question; How would one attach the chain to a handle in order to make a flail?
hi~ i can't download your rivet script. it look link was error
you are really the best
awesome alex !! thankyou
Great as usual :)
i love your video!!
But i have a trouble...
my chains pass through the cylinder... what should i do??.
박소이 make sure you set the cylinder as passive collider
Alex Cheparev thank you for your answer!! It helped me alot !! :) i've just started learning maya. Your videos turned into my direction thanks:) i'll wait for your video~
how do you render that with the black background. it looks cool. love your vid btw
Joel Padilla I use Arnold to render, it comes free with maya 2017. I'll try to put a link to my render scene.
Thank you Alex, I am a new subscriber to your wonderful channel. I have a question, how do I do the first step without making a script? Is it possible?
If you are talking about the Rivet script, it's possible but would be a lot of steps.

Yes, but you can also get free Maya 2018, student license here: www.autodesk.com/education/free-software/maya

Enjoyed it ! thank you
You got a subscriber ❤
Good explain.. nice tips and tricks, thanks.
Great tutorial sir
You should speak out loud about your patreon(or better make a donorbox - charges less commission)! This stuff deserves to be rewarded!
Awesome! Thanks!

Looks like the website is down.
@@AlexCheparev is there any other place to get this script? been searching and cant find it, thanks!
@@_travisimo Looks like all the Highend3D links are down, but, Rivet is now part of Maya 2020. Download the free student version!
Like the video a lot but it goes a bit too fast at times
very nice tutorial, but please slow down haha :)
tks bro
Now, show how to set it up in an Engine
Can I run maya on 8gb ram
Manish Kapoor yes you can. Just be aware as scenes get heavy you will start to eat up more and more ram. At work I'm usually hovering at about 20gb of ram on heavy scenes. Some go way over 32gb.
my head hurts!
My Ring Falls down and tears up i made 24 rings
please help
Check the Rigidity settings and Mass. Try Rigidity of 1.0 and reduce the Mass, also you can reduce the gravity in the Nucleus.
Thanks ! it worked but got a new problem.
In animation graph editor i cant scale the points of graph only i can move the end points
Is so difficult for me, because I have 14 years, is too fast 💨
