This course will provide you with a solid foundation to make more complex 3d models much faster with less frustration. You won’t just learn how to create a highly detailed bike model, but you will discover a step-by-step system to create ANY complex 3d model at a professional level. I not only show you the HOW but I explain the WHY. It was designed differently for a reason.

This course is in-depth with tons of tips, tricks and techniques that will give you the confidence you need to begin creating your own 3D models in Maya.This course is built differently from those you might have tried in the past. You will learn how to use lighting techniques and render R2-D2 to create a brilliant finished piece to show to professionals and/or to put on social media. You will learn how to animate the sliding panel so the Lightsaber can shoot out, just like in Return of the Jedi when R2-D2 threw the Lightsaber at Luke.įinally, you will learn how to present R2-D2 as if you were showing the model to an employer, like a movie studio or a game company. You will learn how to animate the periscope so it will look like R2-D2 is looking around. You will learn some simple rigging techniques that will allow you to control some of R2-D2s tools, like the periscope that comes out of his head, and also a panel that slides open to reveal Luke Skywalker’s Lightsaber. You will learn how to create all the panels and buttons on the body, and finally all the details on the legs.

You will learn how to create R2-D2’s dome head, all the panels and buttons.

My techniques are designed for you to learn at your own pace as I go through every step from start to finish. You will learn that you are in control of the modeling process and that there is nothing to fear from the modeling process. You will learn how to detail the shapes and how to create supporting edges and where to place resolution in order to create the model you want to make. You will learn how to create simple primitive polygons to block out the shape and form. This course is project-based so you will dive into the modeling process by creating R2-D2, the famous robot from Star Wars.įirst, you will learn how to block out R2-D2 from using image planes. You will learn the difference between bad and good geometry, how to fix bad geometry, what mistakes to avoid and how to fix common problems.

You will learn professional tips and tricks that will make you a better modeler.
