Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

Noobie's (My) Attempt at Modelling/Texturing Temple

Well, here is one of my nearly finished extremely basic projects. This is a very simple temple (which I modelled with the help of the Maya tutorials) and textured using a marble texture I found on the internet and the 3d marble texture contained within Maya.

Criticize as much as you want, as I can use all the help that I can get user added image

Note that I wasn't sure how to display the wireframe model of my temple as a picture file so I attached the .mb file to this post.

Sorry about the small size of the wireframe, photo bucket kept resizing it because it was too large in kb and now for some reason I can't actually attach the jpeg file to my post. Thanks for the help on posting the image though, utpal.

to display the wireframe, go to shading>shade options>wireframe on shaded...
to capture the wireframe, you take a screen shot.
in maya, zoom in properly on your model. then, hit the print screen button that lies right besides F12 on your keyboard. this takes a capture of your screen at that moment. then go to photoshop, open a new file and then do paste, or hit ctrl+v on your keyboard..

not much to comment on as you said it is "a very simple temple"
what do suggest you do is, start adding more detail to it ie: the columns,
try get some reference images that will help with the detail.

keep on modeling.

Like maybe adding bump maps to represent decay? That's all I can think of (My imagination sucks lol). Any tutorials that give some advice on how to bump map? I learned a bit from the lynda.com tutorials, but not enough to really work in great detail with them.
