Hard Surface 3D Modeling in Maya

[@Elementza]

Hey guys! Here is another workflow based on previous videos where we talked about details on cylinders. Here I used the same techniques and as you will notice, somewhere I removed triangles, and somewhere I left them since they cause no issues. Hope this helps! P.S. this was just a morning practice, the object has no real purpose :) Cheers, Mario

[@chesterrory]

Your workflow is something else! I just started re learning 3D after many years. Your videos are really inspiring! I am absolutely love the minimal textures what you using! If you could make a basic tutorial on them that would be much appreciated! Awesome stuff! Keep it up man!

[@Aldebaran80]

i love the clean topology that your models have, is my main reference to modeling hard surface.

[@pascalcreativedesign8790]

I love how you move your edges around to keep perfect topology. Inspiring. Thank you

[@AyushBakshi]

at 06:30 the selection of edges that are outlining the design, the one that gets beveled, can be done much faster by selecting the poly loop inside, converting that to parameter edges then deselecting the inside edgeloop.

[@Elementza]

Nice tip, thanks!

[@naruto102030100]

If you're new to 3d modeling then please watch these and more similar speed draws because you'll see their techniques and understand how it works. Thank you for the video, my dude. Great job!

[@fin4al]

its so true, once you understand even just the basics then a video like this is so helpful its insane

[@kickskii]

Man KZbin compression really doesn't do this justice.

[@keithyakouboff8755]

You make it look easy :) But, I think I followed your entire workflow.

[@LiTTleGaBi21]

Damn you're good. 3D modeling is harder than I thought hehe I can't even make a decent mesh with smooth meshing it into oblivion

[@weirdo7071]

that black material you use makes things look sooo clean, could you show how to achieve that exact look?

[@ttaaiinn9764]

how did you change the interface color?(edge, face, voltax....)

[@Money-Script_de]

wow! nice work! I´m new in this and i use Blender, this is very hard for me to find out how it works in Blender

[@madshader]

Hey is that "smooth faces" function come stock standard in maya or is that some kind of custom script?

[@KiraZebu]

21:9, I love it. :)

[@wukasz91]

I always love seeing your videos, they're like a diamond in a haystack when it comes to youtube and tutorial content :D Also is that song from Andromeda?

[@Elementza]

Too kind man! Deus Ex :)

[@rameshsingh-mp6mi]

I bought it but it's refunded? What should I do?

[@artbybruno1734]

Love watching your videos man! Really inspiring! 💙

[@khairulbadhon7509]

I loved your modelling and also tried to copy. but I didn't understand and also know how you create a model working one side and another side automatically completed by which option and how you did this?

[@teukuaulia4270]

I wonder, how do you change between 2 shader so easily? the grey and white one

[@aleksei7479]

how to set up same interface as yours?? like colors etc?

[@timothyj67]

hey whats the settings for the cylinder when you first start..the logo is in the way

[@Elementza]

16 sides, its also shown in the window before the logo :)

[@Pavan_sutar]

Wtf 👀ur bg music is so awesome! I am wearing jbl noice cancelation ear buds and 🥵🥵and ur cinematic sound make this video double awesome

[@luckysravani3s78]

Hi sir i did a temple model in 3ds Max but i want to export that model in solidwroks to get fill empty space in model for 3d print I have exported that in igs and stl but it's not importing as solids could u plsss help me 🙏🙏🙏 to slove this

[@tarik_4528]

What are ur Color Settings, this look way more smooth ans relaxed then the stock maya colors

[@nileshnirgude1561]

You have great command over this software and great skills too

[@vincenthadinata17]

hello, i just wanna know. are you planning to make unwraping video in maya ? i love your video btw. keep up the good work

[@tejindersingh9407]

Hey elementza, i wonder what do you do with these models.?

[@rameshsingh-mp6mi]

Is this class for india Or not

[@tolunaygenc]

Could you post screenshot of your preferences? Your color choice for the faces and lines looks great.

[@ChaosWolfNinja]

He has his setup for the Maya interface. Look at his older videos and or on his website

[@wasd_m-play5965]

can I model it in blender?

[@amol_the_artist3172]

Sir plz make a tutorial on hardsurface UV mapping 🙏

[@Elementza]

I wil eventually

[@amol_the_artist3172]

@@Elementza thankyou so much sir you have teached me a lot really so so thankyou ❣️❣️🙏🙏

[@PrimordialStrange]

This is so awesome. P. S. : I am starting the Maya modeling course from mario and I've gotta say that its so daaamn awesome. Finally found time from so many projects.

[@getrekt8365]

Hey, can you pelase tell me how can i set up my maya so that i have the same colors as you? Is it done completely manually from the preferences window by changing the color of edges and faces, etc? Or is there something more to it?

[@sergiolatorre8712]

Blender ?

[@schwarzertisch]

Good stuff as always!

[@asgard7465]

Is it possible to apply a dark blinn material to all created objects by default?

[@leecaste]

Select "lambert1" in the hypershade click the "output connections" button (square with arrow/triangle pointing to the right) create a blinn and connect it to the "initialSadingGroup" Surface Shader slot instead of the lambert1.

[@_TAUTI]

Your videos inspire me, thank you for doing this!

[@samade620]

We can't actually see the lines well ... Can anybody explain how he got these diagonal Lome details without pinching

[@ianmcglasham]

Very nice topology. Deus ex?

[@1STAPPEARANCEHULKED]

Great video brother

[@rameshsingh-mp6mi]

what is the main problem, sir?

[@ekanshmaheshwari5517]

Model name?

[@Kenaz]

I'm currently working through one of your C4D courses. Thinking about moving to Maya. How you would compare hard surface modelling in Maya to C4D?

[@Elementza]

If you're serious about 3D modeling as a career, you will benefit more from Maya. While you can still use C4D, the modeling tools are very simplistic in comparison. That is just my personal opinion of course.

[@Kenaz]

@@Elementza Thank you for your opinion. Character animation also appeals so I feel moving the Maya will happen sooner than later. I appreciate the reply!

[@PrimordialStrange]

@@Elementza That advice is super legit! I've even seen and even asked one of the artist in Lucas films, and he even recommended maya for career purpose. Hell even the modeling team behind cyberpunk 2077 has used Maya as far I know.

[@RobertKohlerFilms]

The pain in the beginning is no joke. Do the same thing three times. Always and forever.

[@RobertKohlerFilms]

This is great tho. Thank you! Beautiful topology.

[@ArtistMayur22]

I know this is childish.. But 1st comment.. 1st view..

[@TinchoSavio]

Hey! Love your videos, would you mind sharing your ui colours and scheme? Its awesome

[@Elementza]

There are 2 videos on my channel covering this. Latest one is Maya UI & Hotkeys :)

@@Elementza oh, didnt know! Awesome, ill check them out right now

[@nikunjgajjar6905]

I'm doing lot of Hardsurface modeling in maya but this video makes me feel like i don't know anything can you please show what shortcut keys and plug-ins you are using

[@Elementza]

I did a special video on the channel called Maya UI & Hotkeys :)

Thats the most sci fi-est model i've seen so far

I just did 30+ hours of content in my latest C4D training. :)

[@InnerAnimate]

we need hardsurface modeling course for cars, i pay 200$ for it, that's what i save for just in case someday happen...

[@Elementza]

Here´s the thing. The training that I currently have will give you the knowledge to model a car, a tank, or anything else really. If I make a course on how to model a car, I would also need to explain the topology decisions behind it. Which I already did in Maya and Cinema 4D training :) Hope this explains it. Cheers!

[@ruinlus4325]

wonderful！！！

Nice job. Could you please redo this in C4d?
