This course teaches you the basics of 3D modeling using Maya, focusing on building models with simple shapes. You'll learn essential tools and techniques to kickstart your modeling journey and create a stunning portfolio piece from scratch.
Learn the basic concepts of box modeling in Maya with polygonal shapes building a portfolio ready model
POSSIBILITIES ARE ENDLESS IN 3D
3D modeling is part of a huge industry that includes; movies, television, product design, video games and many more. As a 3D modeler it is your job to take a conceptual design (pencil and paper) and build it in 3D space within the computer (Maya). The magic that you will feel and master as your model begins to take life is something that you will want to experience many times over.
BEGIN WITH THE BASICS
This course will quickly introduce you to the basics that you will use to build your career upon. The basics aren't something that you will learn and then forget, but they will stick with you from day one throughout the rest of your career. You will learn to master 3D space and working with primitive shapes that will take a on a life of their own as you breathe life into them pulling, pushing and twisting the geometry wherever your imagination takes you.
Some of the topics you will master during this course will include:
Basic 3D Concepts
Working with Basic Primitive Shapes (Cubes)
Accessing Sub-Component Modes of Your Shapes to Build Complex Model
Common 3D Modeling Tools Found in Maya
and more...
After mastering the basics you will then move on to creating a portfolio ready model. Through the step-by-step instruction you will take the knowledge you are mastering and create this model from scratch, starting with nothing more then a 3D cylinder.
Join this course and begin your journey from novice 3D modeler to paid professional. the journey maybe long at times but well worth the time invested!
Master key 3D modeling concepts to efficiently model with primitive shapes
Learn common hotkeys to become more productive throughout your modeling workflow
Navigate effectively in 3D space, speeding up production when modeling

clear sound and talk that easy to understand.
Instructor was very clear and descriptive. And his humor added to the overall experience of the course.
The instructor is very clear with the instructions and is done at an acceptable pacing. However, the version of Maya he is using is somewhat outdated which results in a different looking UI. The cut face function has also now been replaced by the multi-cut tool.
Fantastic tutor, but the software is out of date.
I enjoyed the course. I'm new to modeling so a good place to begin.
Getting back into Maya after years of letting the dust settle on my skills. Love the clear concise explanations, the tone of the instructor and the follow-a-long pacing.
very informative learned a lot about box modelling using this course also learned some really good shortcuts for the channel editor and the transformation tools this course was a good challenge for me I did get stuck on certain sections but once i had gone back over the lesson I had no troubles
Overall it provided a good refresher to working in Maya after some time away. I feel a complete beginner would be able to follow along nicely. The videos were created with Maya 2014 so a bit dated now. Due to difference in the interface over six years I had to google how to do a few things in the current version.

I like how it start with the most basic approach and talks about the idea/intention behind the move, so that later on we know instinctively that this is what we have to do.
