This class showed us how to compose the final movie by adding some rain effects , the background and correcting the color.
Render:
Select Render > Render Sequence and render the animation from within Maya.
Composition：
Finally, the background image and the falling rain were synthesized through After effects
Advanced skeleton
This lesson continues to use blendshape to make facial expressions, so I want to try more methods about facial binding, so I tried the plug-in advanced skeleton
tutorial:
In this lesson, we not only learned to unwrap the UV and corresponding textures for the model, but also expanded the use of blendshape to make different facial expressions

The final:
In this lesson, we learned the method of topology through the quad draw tool of maya, but I can’t fully understand why this topology or the principle of topology, so I try to find answers on related websites, the following is my exploration process.
The final:
Why we need to retopology
“This is because complex meshes are difficult to animate. It is necessary to limit the polygon count of any 3D model when it’s used for animation.
By overlaying a low-polygon mesh onto a high-polygon mesh you can get something that’s perfect for animating and easy on your processor.”

this blog is about the main steps and key points.
1.Reference : Sketchfab , Turbosquid
some good reference of the wireframe
2. Quick skills
Import background image:
View–image plane–import
after that, we can adjust it by—View–image plane–image plane attributes
Insert edge loop:
Ctrl + Shift + right-click (Mesh Tools–insert edge loop)
Add faces (divisions) :
shift + right mouse —smooth
Bevel:
Ctrl + B
Extrude:
Ctrl + E (modeling toolkit—Extrude)
After extrude–press w
(Pay attention to the difference between Local and World axis)
this class is the basic learning about MAYA, including the basic modeling methods such as extrude and bevel, as well as some introduction of the Arnold.
