Description
This course is an epic 36 hours long!
- You will learn how to master hard surface modeling in Maya.
- You will begin by understanding the basic concepts of modeling in Maya.
- You will learn Maya's powerful modeling tools.
- You will learn where the tools are located, how to use the tools, why to use the tools and when to use the tools.
- You will learn the tool options, the shortcuts, and the best and most efficient way to use the tools.
- Tools you will learn include:
- Bevel Tool
- Insert Edge Loop Tool
- Multi-Cut Tool
- Mirror Tool
- Bridge Tool
- Extrude Tool
- Boolean Tool
- Slide Edge Tool
- Edit Edge Flow Tool
- Combine/Separate/Extract/Duplicate
- And many, many more tools.
- You will learn professional tips and tricks that will make you a better modeler.
- You will learn the difference between bad and good geometry, how to fix bad geometry, what mistakes to avoid and how to fix common problems.
- This course is project-based so you will dive into the modeling process by creating R2-D2, the famous robot from Star Wars.
- First, you will learn how to block out R2-D2 from using image planes.
- You will learn how to create simple primitive polygons to block out the shape and form.
- You will learn how to detail the shapes and how to create supporting edges and where to place resolution in order to create the model you want to make.
- You will learn that you are in control of the modeling process and that there is nothing to fear from the modeling process.
- My techniques are designed for you to learn at your own pace as I go through every step from start to finish.
- You will learn how to create R2-D2's dome head, all the panels, and buttons.
- You will learn how to create all the panels and buttons on the body, and finally all the details on the legs.
- You will learn some simple rigging techniques that will allow you to control some of the R2-D2s tools, like the periscope that comes out of his head, and also a panel that slides open to reveal Luke Skywalker's Lightsaber.
- You will learn how to animate the periscope so it will look like R2-D2 is looking around.
- You will learn how to animate the sliding panel so the Lightsaber can shoot out, just like in Return of the Jedi when R2-D2 threw the Lightsaber at Luke.
- Finally, you will learn how to present R2-D2 as if you were showing the model to an employer, like a movie studio or a game company.
- You will learn how to use lighting techniques and render R2-D2 to create a brilliant finished piece to show to professionals and/or to put on social media.
- This course is in-depth with tons of tips, tricks, and techniques that will give you the confidence you need to begin creating your own 3D models in Maya.
