Modeling Essentials in Autodesk Maya

Modeling is an essential part of the 3D industry. You can only imagine an animated movie or video game with 3D models. Characters, props, environment, almost every idea needs to be represented as a 3D model either fully or partially. 3D is a versatile tool that will be useful for any contemporary artist. But where to start?

It`s much better to begin your 3D artist’s journey by tweaking some polygons and getting knowledge about 3D in a nutshell. In this course, you will start by creating a simple model of a longboard in Maya and then learn how to texture it in Substance Painter immediately. After that, we’ll show you the ropes in a simple example. There is a real challenge for you: you will need to create a full 3D hard surface character from the animated movie that we’ve made for this course!
