BMW Car Kit

e031365acf3445515e1d7664beecc75f.jpg


This tutorial is meant for intermediate to advanced users who have an understanding of the Maya interface and tools. We will start off the car by setting up image planes of top, side, front and back views to aid us in seeing the correct shape of the car from all angles. Once the image planes are up we will start modeling using a variety of different modeling methods including nurbs curves, nurbs primatives as well as polygons to achieve the basic shape of the car.


Simply Maya
Then we'll combine and edit the geometry to refine our shape and start adding details where lights are found for the contours of the body. Some of the tools we will be using are split polygon, cut face tools. as well as extrude face and edge tools. When the modeling of the car is complete we will begin setting it up for texturing. We'll cover the UV editor and how to lay flat UV's of your geometry using the tool set found in the editor. We will then take a snapshot of the UV's and import them into a paint program where you will learn how to add color using layers as well as the basic techniques of adding stripes of color to your car if you wanted to do so in the future.

Once we have color on our car we will dive into lights and material editing so that we can start getting a nice realistic look and feel. You will learn how to adjust settings on your paint color material to get different effects as well as how to adjust your lights in many different ways to enhance your color by adding highlights and reflections. The last part covers how to do your final renders..

Interior Scene

Interior Scene | 1.28 Gb

The Living room tutorial is intended for intermediate Maya users. You will begin by setting up your reference image on an image plane and then start modeling the set, using both polygons and nurbs to block the correct shape, and size of the objects. Some of the tools used in the modeling section cover extrude face, cut face tool and split polygon to name a few. After the modeling section is complete we will switch gears and get into UV layouts, which is taking all the modeled geometry and converting it to a flat pintable map to apply textures on them in a painting program. You will learn how to assign color to the geometry to make planar maps as well as tools like move and sew uv's.



Texturing begins after all the uv's are laid out and have a flat map for painting. In a paint program you will learn how to use layers as well as many of the painting options to achieve the correct colors and textures of the objects in your scene. After we get the correct colors on our set we will start to add lights so we can see and understand how both textures and light affect each other. In this part of the tutorial you will learn texturing techniques like bump/spec maps, as well as how to use some of the built in shaders in Maya.

We then cover lots of different lights such as making a main light and fill light. After we have achieved a nice look on both our textures and first few lights we will start adding more light sources to really add all the true highlights and shadows. These light details will be done by using more point lights with decay as well some negative lights to fake shadows in certain areas which will be light-linked to only certain geometry. In the last few sections we go a bit more into the bump map for the sofa as well as creating a Paint effects tree for the final rendering.
