Hard Surface Modeling – Part 3
English | Size: 1.5GB
Category: Tutorial


This training covers the process of building a highly detailed sci-fi power module and it’s surrounding environment entirely from scratch in Houdini. To model this scene we shall use a combination of poly modeling, NURBS, VDB and a little bit of VOPS.
This training will also help highlight the advantages of having a procedural system while building complex models and environments. The final chapter will take a look at how to render the scene in Octane Standalone by exporting the scene using Alembic.
The training is broken into 4 parts. You can read the details of each part after the break.
NOTE: This is training does not cover UV mapping and texturing of the scene [Read more…]

Blender 101 – Blender 221: Hard Surface Modeling
English | Size: 3.3GB
Category: Tutorial


This is a project-based course where we will create Captain America’s motorcycle from the 2011 movie, “Captain America: The First Avenger.” I have taken photographs of the motorcycle at the Harley-Davidson Museum for use as our reference images. You will not only be introduced to new modeling tools, but you will be shown the techniques and strategies needed to tackle a larger modeling project such as this. In the end we will add materials and textures, as well as light and render the iconic motorcycle. [Read more…]

Lynda – 3ds Max: Hard Surface Modeling Basics
English | Size: 759.2MB
Category: Tutorial


Hard surface modeling is all about designing man-made objects: machines, vehicles, tools, weapons, and so on. Because the edges and angles are distinct and the surfaces are typically smooth, there are many opportunities to use 3ds Max’s built-in tools to make your modeling process more efficient. 3ds Max: Hard Surface Modeling Basics helps you learn the tools and techniques to model a high-poly mesh-in this case, an old deep sea diving helmet and shoulder guard-as quickly and efficiently as possible. The assets you produce as a result of this course can be used in games, product visualizations, and more. Join Joel Bradley as he shows how to set up your environment for maximum efficiency and use a variety of techniques to execute the final design, including spline modeling, welding, component modeling, extruding from primitive objects, cutting, and box modeling. Plus, learn how to use the power and flexibility of the modifier stack to refine your hard surface models. [Read more…]

MILG11 – MAKING IT LOOK GREAT 11 Hard Surface Modelling Tactics For Cinema 4D
English | Size: 9.8GB
Category:Tutorial


Of all the areas a 3D artist can learn, modelling is arguably the most difficult to master. It takes hours, weeks, months and years of practice and mistake making to reach the stage where you can decipher a mesh just by looking at it. Also, finding thorough training that focusses on more than just a few techniques and tools isn’t easy, especially if you’re a Cinema 4D artist. Mastering modelling in Cinema 4D has generally relied on finding what tutorials you can for Cinema 4D, then moving on to Maya and Max tutorials to fill the void. With MILG11: Hard Surface Modelling Tactics for Cinema 4D this is no longer the case. MILG11 is the missing link in Cinema 4D modelling, developed specifically for Cinema 4D artists and covering everything you need to know from fundamental modelling concepts to hidden features of key modelling tool [Read more…]

Digital Tutors – Hard Surface Modeling a Modular Structure for Games in 3ds Max
English | Size: 798.1 MB
Category: Tutorial


In this course, we’ll look at methods for modular modeling inside 3ds Max.

When it comes to creating believable game art, detail and structure are important. With that in mind, we’ll cover a detailed process to ensure our model has a final look that’ll transition well. We’ll also make sure our models will work later in the process, such as baking and detailing in ZBrush.
