Gnomon Humanoid modeling
English | Size: 3.24 GB
Category: Tutorial


In this polygonal modeling DVD, Sean Mills shows you how to create a bipedal humanoid model. Sean begins with a set of primitives for different body parts – arms, legs, torso and face – and refines them into muscle masses, primary contours and silouhettes. He then shows you how to refine those masses, establishing preliminary edge loops around musculature and areas of major deformation. Sean concludes by integrating these primary forms onto a contiguous character mesh.

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…]

Pluralsight – Game Prop Modeling Fundamentals
English | Size: 1.4GB
Category: Tutorial


Props are the various object players will inevitably interact with in games, from small cans and papers, to show stopping “hero props” like dynamic machines and traps or devices. These things add life and energy to game worlds and help provide context. In this course, Game Prop Modeling Fundamentals, you will first learn how to model a detailed high polygon prop inside 3ds Max and Zbrush. [Read more…]

Digital Tutors – Modeling Hard Surfaces with NURBS in maya
English | Size:173 MB
Category: Tutorial


NURBS geometry provides several advantages over some of the other types of building methods available, but the process for creating NURBS geometry is somewhat different from building polygon or sub-d models. In this course we will explore hard-surface modeling by using a variety of NURBS tools and techniques in Maya to build a skateboard. We’ll go over tools like lofting, fillets, and using the CV curve tool and, by the end of this project, you’ll have a taste of the NURBS building process and be able to use these tools to start building your own models.

Not sure which modern furniture will mesh with your living room design? With SketchUp, a 3D modeling program, you can take your architectural and material design ideas from your head to your screen. In this course, instructor Scott Onstott shows you how to use the free version of SketchUp to explore possible design scenarios using photos and 3D models. Scott explains how to match SketchUp’s coordinate system to the perspective implied in multiple photographs, allowing you to use photos to create 3D models. He demonstrates how to model objects like fireplaces, windows, doors, and walls from photo models, alter photo textures in SketchUp and retouch them in Photoshop, and model new textured objects. He also illustrates how to use a combination of layers, scenes, and materials to explore design alternatives. [Read more…]

3ds Max Modeling Fundamentals
English | Size: 2.2GB
Category: 3ds Max


This course will use a project-based approach as it covers the basics of modeling, some of the most commonly used tools, and some of the best time-saving tips and techniques when it comes to modeling in 3ds Max.

In this course, 3ds Max Modeling Fundamentals, you’ll learn plenty of tips and tricks and the fundamentals of some of the most commonly used tools for 3ds Max, all taught in a project-based approach. First, you’ll begin by looking at the various types of geometry available to you, and you’ll learn how to organize your model into hierarchies and keep your scene clean and efficient. Next, you’ll take a look at several modeling tools including polygon modeling tools like Extrude and the Swift Loop tool for adding resolution, spline modeling techniques to create smooth surfaces, and many other tools and techniques as well. Finally, you’ll take a look at using a smoothing or subdivision workflow and use modifiers to help shape your models. After watching this course, you’ll have a better understanding of how these tools work together, and you’ll be able to create your own modeling solutions and come up with a workflow that’s comfortable for you.
