The first course in a series of tutorials designed to get you up and running with Maya. Aimed squarely at people with no 3D experience. Maya 2017 and up.
In this course, we look at the processes used in the film and tv industry to create reusable character models. If you have ever wanted to know how digital doubles are created in the movie industry, then this course will give you an insight into how...
This tutorial at its core is an introduction to modelling real-world objects. Having issues with your modelling? Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh...
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.
Modelling techniques used for this kind of work differ from those we'd use for the entertainment industry. During this...
In this tutorial we conclude our robot series, by integrating our 3D model along with a photograph to create a complete scene within Maya. To achieve this we look at making a very fast character posing rig with HumanIK. This rigging method is ...
In this start to finish texturing project within Substance Painter we cover all the techniques you need to texture the robot character.
Over the last couple of years UV layout in Maya has changed for the better. In this course we're going to be taking a look at some of those changes as we UV map an entire character. We'll cover the basics of UVing, UV organisation, and UV Layout. In...
This tutorial contains a little bit of everything with modeling, UVing, texturing and dynamics in Maya, as well as compositing multilayered EXR's in Photoshop. We start by modeling the glass and UVing it, we then look at image based lighting and...
This course will look at the fundamentals of rendering in Arnold. We'll go through the different light types available, cameras, shaders, Arnold's render settings and finally how to split an image into render passes (AOV's), before we then...
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. You don't need to watch volume...
Although it might be intimidating for new users, the Bezier Curve Tool is one of the fastest ways to create complex curves in Maya. In our video, we start off by showing you how to use the Bezier Curve Tool to model a wine glass in Maya 2022. From...
In our new tutorial, we answer a question that often gets asked - how to cut round holes in Maya. The method we use works for cutting any type of hole in geometry. Maya's modeling tools chamfer vertex and circularize vertex get us off to a quick...
Bifrost is not only capable of simulating fluids but you can also use it for cloth. In this short tutorial, we show you how to drape a cloth over a table in Maya. This will get you used to the node chains and workflow of creating cloth within...
A tutorial on basic poly modelling in Maya 2020. This is a continuation of our getting started with Maya series and contains the information you need to make your first model in Maya.
The reference image I used can be found
Continuing our getting started with Maya series we're going to walk you through the principles of UV mapping. If you've never done any UV mapping before this would be a good place to start.
