Course Info

In this course, you will learn how to build a professional futuristic vehicle. You will start out by 3d modeling in Maya using image planes references so that the vehicle will look good in all views. You will create the tires using instances of the threads which will allow you to work on one thread while affecting the other threads at the same time. You will construct the cockpit and the main hull area of the car using Maya's polygon editing tools, effectively applying loops where they are needed for a clean subdivision surface. You will then move on to building the under structure that will support the actual vehicle. You will build the axle, the wings, and add extra parts to the car to enhance the 3d model as a whole. Last, you will take the high res mesh inside Keyshot to add materials and create a nice rendered art piece for your portfolio.
