2. Setup Project Folder and Refernce Image9:28
Creating the basic shape of House9:34
Creating the Wood Beams and planks around the House28:30
Create wood beams and planks around a Maya house by shaping base geometry, beveling edges, duplicating and mirroring components, and precisely adjusting vertices for proportional details.
Adding support beams around the house26:32
Model a medieval house in maya by adding and duplicating front and side beams, aligning vertices, chamfering, and adding windows and doors, then group and mirror components as reusable assets.
Creating Windows and Door26:15
Learn to finish a Maya medieval architecture model by adding doors and windows, duplicating beams, beveling edges, extruding frames, and applying window textures and materials.
Creating Assets and Completing the Cottege33:45

Pier House 1 - Model Pier Base with Pillars and MEL Scripting Bricks38:07
Pier House 2 - Model Pier Base Arch and Wall21:46
Pier House 3 - Creating Border around Pier Base using CURVES27:49
Border the pier base with a linear epi curve, extrude a profile along the path to form the ridge, using scripts for brick effects and normals.
Pier House 4 - Creating Pier Railing and Rope18:20
Create pier railings and rope in maya for a medieval architecture model. Use nurbs curves, extrude borders, bevel edges, apply poke effects, and model rope from cylinders with duplicates.
Pier House 5 - Modelling House, 6 Chimneys, Round Door51:03
Model the pier house in Maya by building the base and extruding walls. Craft an arch, bevel edges, and add chimneys, beams, and a round door with careful topology.
Pier House 6 - Adding Wood Planks, Round Windows, Shed modelling50:05
Pier House 7 - Assigning Materials & Cleanup Geometry28:51
Assign basic materials to all objects, rename and group components to structure the pier house model. Clean up history, delete unused nodes, and use search and replace to rename components.
