This course will look at the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. We'll look at what makes a good model in Maya and why objects are modeled in the way they are.
Recently I have been reading alot about a technique of modeling called "Box Modeling" What is box modeling? Also, what other types of modeling are there? Thanks in advance
If I'm not mistaken, Box Modeling is the process of starting with a cube and splitting, extruding, etc from there.
Not sure what the other modeling techniques are called persay, but there's the process of drawing your model in the side view on a plane and extruding that out (HobbitGuy has a tut on this, I believe).
Stuff like that.
I'm a box modeler myself, although I primarily use cylinders now-a-days.
I use cylinders also... I kind of have problems when im doing SubD organic things cuz it creates that nasty ripple thing at the top of the cylinder... I would like to be a box modeler haha but i just dont have the patience (or skill) to pull it off... theres also the technique of starting with a polygon and extruding out and out and out and it just keeps adding to the face, and you just keep pulling the edges out and soon you have a rough face RubberKidney has a tut on that... ill get you the link
does not always give accurate result for organics, ,i see can its use in the game or real time industry. because they mostly just need a quick approximation of a character, the rest is textures (although some engine these days have normal technologies... ) but box modeling is not the most accurate way to model organic models if you model pixel for pixel (like me!)
