This tutorial will explain step by step of how the dragon is created using Maya. There are three type of modeling method in Maya, NURBS modeling, Subdivision modeling and Polygon modeling, each ...

Content Inside : We have developed a new keyboard-based method for configuring and animating hand gestures. Hand configuration and animation is important to many areas such as: (1) sign language education; (2) education and training in professions that require high level of dexterity (e.g., surgery, dentistry etc.); (3) technical illustration; (4) art ...

Content Inside : Maya’s polygon toolset has evolved over the past several versions to include numerous approaches for the creation of organic and hard surface objects. This tutorial will take you through the process of creating a mouse embryo starting from a simple polygon cube through the creation of a base ...

Content Inside : The first thing you need is…a turtle to take some reference photos. If you have any, you can use the images included in this tutorial. I used them to draw the reference profiles, to model the different parts of the turtle and of course to get the images ...

Part of Content : We present an interface for 3D object manipulation in which standard transformation tools are replaced with transient 3D widgets invoked by sketching context-dependent strokes. The widgets are automatically aligned to axes and planes determined by the user’s stroke. Free-form 3D modeling has made a significant impact on ...

Part of Content : This tutorial will take you through the process of creating a mouse embryo starting from a simple polygon cube through the creation of a base mesh suitable for subdividing and detailing. Some Basic Rules For Efficient Poly Modeling, Avoid n-sided polygons (polygons with more than 3 or ...
