Shred

Introduction to Maya - Modeling Fundamentals Vol 2

This course will look in the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. It's aimed at people that have some modeling experience in Maya but are having trouble with complex objects.

Hi I came across this the other day and I was wondering how it is done in maya.

I am assuming that the shreds are derived from the curves/isoparms but beyond that I am not shure what tool to use so that it looks like this. The geometry of the apeture and the openings have to be coincident with the geometry of the surface.

Here is the technical explaination for it:

Shreds were first techniques developed to place apetures on surfaces without having to punch or cut openings. Topological surfaces are modeled as curve networks: curves that pass through or hang from CV's, or points, in two directions. The U and the V direction describe the bias of the curves. By duplicating two curves in the same position and then spreading the CV's apart that allows the ability to place shreds that pull apart then fuse back together on the surface.

Here are some pics attached.

If you could take me step by step starting with just a simple nubs sphere that would be great!!!!

Thanks guys

Best,
Moff
