This beginner-friendly course introduces the fundamentals of Autodesk Maya by creating a Cyber Tower, covering essential tools and 3D modeling techniques.
Autodesk Maya is a professional 3D computer graphics software widely used in film, animation, and game development for its advanced capabilities in modeling, animation, simulation, and rendering.
Its comprehensive toolset and node-based workflow make it an essential platform for artists and studios aiming to create high-quality visual effects, realistic character animations, and complex digital environments within a single production pipeline.
This workshop provides participants with a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of Autodesk Maya 3D modeling software, a sophisticated tool for high-end design.
We will establish an efficient 3D modeling workflow that encompasses the organization and optimization of essential tools. Subsequently, we will concentrate on cultivating practical skills for designing clear and effective geometries.

What you will learn
01
Navigate and customize the Autodesk Maya interface for efficient workflow
02
Elevate your 3D models using advanced polygon editing and subdivision surface workflows
03
Learn how to design strategically using manual low-poly modeling to create fluid shapes.
04
Low-poly polygon modeling techniques
05
High-poly polygon modeling techniques
Methodology
Students will learn a range of low-poly polygon modeling techniques to create clean, efficient, and visually appealing geometries with smooth, flowing forms. Emphasis will be placed on developing a strong understanding of form, proportion, and topology while working within a low-poly framework.
We will then move on to more advanced modeling operations, building upon previously created geometry to add complexity, detail, and character to each project. Students will apply these skills in an individual final assignment, allowing them to develop and present their own unique work.
