Hey everyone, and a massive welcome to our brand-new online live course! I'm Dr. Zeeshan Bhatti from ZeeshanAcademy, and I am absolutely thrilled to have you here. In this comprehensive series, we are going to embark on a magnificent journey: Modeling and Texturing the Taj Mahal using Autodesk Maya 2018.
Hello, future animators and filmmakers! Dr. Zeeshan Bhatti here from ZeeshanAcademy. If you've ever looked at a stunning animated short or a breathtaking CGI sequence and thought, "I want to create something like that," then you're in the right place. Welcome to the definitive guide to our Autodesk Maya Advance Animation and 3D Movie Making Online Course.
Welcome back, everyone! We've built temples and planets, getting comfortable with the idea of polygons. But now, it's time to get surgical. Today, we move from stacking Lego bricks to carving digital marble. We're going to model a modern LCD monitor, and in doing so, we will unlock the true power of Polygon Modelling Technique.
How to Model a LCD Screen in Autodesk Maya | Polygon Modeling Technique Extrude Bevel Tool| Lesson 8This is where you transition from a beginner to a modeler. We're going to dissect a polygon down to its very atoms—its vertices, edges, and faces—and use them as our primary tools. So, fire up Maya, and let's build something sleek and professional.
Alright, crew, strap in! We've built our temple and gotten our hands dirty with polygons. But now, it's time to answer a question that has puzzled new 3D artists for decades: what's the real difference between Polygons and NURBS?
Think of it this way: if 3D modeling were carpentry, Polygons would be like working with Lego bricks—incredibly flexible, easy to stack and connect. NURBS, on the other hand, would be like working with a potter's wheel—perfect for creating smooth, flowing, and perfectly curved forms.
Welcome back, architects of the digital world! Over the past few lessons, we've mapped the territory, learned our tools, and understood how to create basic objects. Now, it's time to put all of that theory into practice. Today, we're rolling up our sleeves and starting our most exciting project yet: Polygon Modelling our very first structure—a classic, timeless temple.
This isn't just about following steps; it's about learning a mindset. We are going to begin our modeling adventures by thinking like builders. We'll take simple shapes and, through the magic of polygons, assemble them into something complex and beautiful.
Welcome back, future 3D artists! I hope you’ve been practicing your navigation and basic transforms from the previous lessons, because today we’re moving onto one of the most exciting parts: creating objects in Maya.
Alright, everyone, settle in. Let's talk about the big one. The powerhouse. The digital Mt. Everest that every aspiring 3D artist looks up at and thinks, "One day."
That day is today. Welcome to Lesson 1 of our Autodesk Maya 2018 Full Course.
Now, I want you to forget everything you've heard about Maya being "complicated" or "only for pros." Furthermore, I want you to embrace a simple truth: every single artist you admire, every wizard at Pixar or ILM, started exactly where you are right now—staring at a blank grid, wondering what the heck all these buttons do.
