Modeling a Tractor Tire in Maya - Lattices and Bend Deformers

In this tutorial we'll model a Tractor Tire by first laying out some guide curves and then creating a tillable pattern and using lattices and a bend deformer to create the final shape.

Amazing! Great tutorial. KZbin extremely needs more tutorials about 3d like this.

[@alicengizcakaloz5301]

I dont watch your tutorials.ı just open your video in backgrounds and sounds are feels me like much relaxing .its so cool :)

[@MiRaje8086]

you're incredibly talented at modeling. Such clean edge work and topology!

[@rohanrazaghi1198]

man you are the best i love you and all of your projects.i swear i should meet you one day

[@edgeextrude]

You're thought process is inspirational, great job man!

[@toparak]

I'm so excited when i see new video from you. Very nice tuts man, thanks a lot!

[@chrisrams3D]

I see my environment in Quads, thanks to your videos!

[@FancyFun3433]

8:27 hes doing some magical step downs

[@richstish]

Thanks Alex Great tut as always

[@louise1021]

Wow, awesome stuff Alex.

[@forestpump3]

Thank you Alex. It's great how you say what hotkeys etc. you are using. Great!

[@thanostimestone6813]

Pall Smenis you wouldn’t happen to be the same Pall Smenis that directed tooken would you?

[@kampart6035]

Alex Cheparev I checked your IMDB page and you've worked on a lot of films. I'm currently in college(British college) and I wanna be a 3d designer for films in the future, can you please make a video on how you got into the industry and tips on what to do to get a job. Btw great Tut keep it up

[@janniemeyer9951]

High level of skill!

[@rooxkyws1260]

Awesome build 😳

[@krishnateja049]

your skills are pretty awesome and tutorial also thank you very much.........

[@fakepivot]

Whow really wonderful tutorial

[@Exsulator2]

This is an amazing tutorial

[@TycoonLeague]

love your tutorials :)

[@romansolodskikh3440]

Thank you Alex.

[@besteleben1093]

Thanks for this great tutorial!

[@kaleighfitzgerald599]

Thank you for sharing! I needed this!

[@tathagat123]

So advanced tutorial

[@pathikbiswasvisualart]

Thanks a lot very very helpful.

[@thebigv5573]

Great tutorial, learned some new techniques and shortcuts, thanks! Just a simple question, I have problems with the snapping tool, it snaps very randomly and probably 1 out of 10 times. Whats the trick to make it work like you make it work in the video - perfectly snapping every time?

[@akshayshikhare007]

learned awesome new skills thanks sir :)

[@신민섭-l6c]

thanks for good tutorial!

[@krailyx]

Great tutorial, do you have a set of 'best practices' for modeling that can be applied to all projects? For example the way you use lattice deformers for moving larger parts of your geometry, which can be applied to almost any modeling subject. Are there other general rules of thumb similar to this?

[@techrider23]

Dude within colour are you add to this tracker Tyre??

[@sallusart2011]

Perfect

[@kazuyamishima38]

if u have some more complex modeling than please add in youtube. Sir pls make some complex wedding rings or amazing rings also thank u

[@getrekt8365]

Your tutorials are amazing. Many thanks for the hard work man! One question if I may: How can i change my settings so that my objects have the same color as the one you are using? I am using the default ones but i love that dark grey color you are using.

[@AlexCheparev]

So, that's because by default, Maya turns on Color Management, and if you don't work in a studio where they control the color profiles, you don't need it on. To turn it off, go to Windows > Settings/Preferences > Preferences > Color Management; uncheck 'Enable Color Management' and at the bottom, click 'Export CM Pref'. Save the .xml file anywhere and name it anything you want. Now Color Management will always be off when you turn on Maya. Or, you can always hit the ON button above the viewport on the right hand side, next to sRGB gamma menu, but you have to do it every time you start maya.

[@getrekt8365]

Thank you very much for the quick response 3d master. :)

[@lyubochavdarov3668]

Hey dude, I love your videos, are you going to do more ? :)

[@AlexCheparev]

Yes, have a lot planned, but haven't had the time recently. Keep an eye out soon for more.

[@osamaali5028]

Thank u sir I have a question is there any benefits from actually modelling these details rather than just using like a displacement map to show this detail?

[@MrMasterphoto]

Огонь! Спасибо!

[@dalyzee]

How did you have that double face shade/texture at the end. 29:07 It looks like the inside also has the color on it.

[@surajbist999]

He enabled 2 sided lighting

[@dalyzee]

@@surajbist999 hahahah. Im glad to have finally found an answer to this question. I can now move on to my project 😂😂😂😉😉😉

[@multimediadiploma463]

Modelling good

[@iplaybose]

Hey Alex! How's Maya2017 ? Is it usable in the current state ? Im still on 2015 sp6

[@AlexCheparev]

iplaybose I really like it. I love being able to dock the outliner, and there are lots of little modeling improvements. There are some bugs, but they don't bother me too much.

[@iplaybose]

Cheers! I heard they improved the bevel tool, is that true ? And regarding the star wars stormtrooper tutorial that ive requested, where can I donate a few bucks for your effort ?

[@AlexCheparev]

The bevel tool is improved a lot. Heh, it's on my list.

[@fakepivot]

i use 2016.5 here, there aren't much bugs.. and the modeling improvements in 2016.5 and 2017 is Much better than 2015..

[@vtec1989]

verry nice tyre. can you build a motor and gearbox for my model? I am a beginner and built a John Deere 4755 engine. but I can not manage to build the engine nicely.

[@MSJDesign]

why didnt you use the duplicate instance?

[@amazonbabazahir2183]

do you have paid course?

[@AlexCheparev]

No, just free on KZbin :)

[@pedroviloria5147]

11:01 he means shift + period

[@alexisprashanth827]

but ur tutorials output is cool but seems complicated .y cant u use a tyre mark template from google to save time.Becaus filling the hole and using edgeloop to cunnect in quard makes complicated.

[@chiboreache]

В зебре то попроще будет

[@alexisprashanth827]

y r u allowing the ad to distract while learning the tutorial seriously its fuckin irritating

[@AlexCheparev]

I had an ad just in the beginning, but google changes the ads as they see fit. I can't control when they appear.

[@thanostimestone6813]

Why? Your adding massive amounts of geometry with your method? Go get a reference to a tractor tire. Make a cube. Extrude one end inward delete the bottom of the object. Crease the bottom of the cube about 3/4 crease the top about 1/2 Duplicate it equally multiple times. Mirror the group of duplicates attach vertices the duplicates for both sides. Use deformation of the fully bridged tire tread to make it a cylinder. Create a tube with co-responding edge loops Delete the outer edges of the tube(inner edges will be used for the Rim extrusion). Unify the tread and the tube bridge and or merge the vertices than start forming the outside of the tire with edge loops. Who taught you this method? The geometry is Horrid for Uv mapping and for bringing into ZBrush or other 3D apps. Terrible tutorial. Good to know topology but if you were to make this in a production environment your boss would wonder why it took you 4 hours to model a tire.

[@AlexCheparev]

This is the tire I used as reference: encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTgLtNpLPlWdx2mkn560ae7-jUbYv8q3bi8hskOPN64ca5acC7lbg Why would you take this into ZBrush? This model has UVs, they were easy to make, and it's production ready. The geometry is subdivide-able. Not sure where you are coming from with your comment. You are free to make your own tutorial and I'll be glad to review it.
