Architectural Visualization in Maya and Arnold - Modeling

Block out the exterior walls from the floor plan, set up a top view reference, and use the multi-cut tool and extrusion to create the building's exterior walls in Maya.

Extrude walls to build the main structure, then create doors and windows by adjusting openings and edge loops, and close walls using bridge or append polygon methods.

Create the roof by duplicating and modifying walls, removing extra faces, and merging vertices. Set up a render camera and organize the outliner for a two-window view.

Set up the scene by resizing the building to about three to four meters, align doors, import a reference image, position and lock the camera to match the plan.

Model a concrete floor and pavement in Maya, using planes, cubes, and edge loops to create details, then apply Lambert materials and prepare for beveling and reflections in Arnold.

Learn how to model windows and doors in Maya using a single profile, duplicate and align frames, create glass, group them, and organize the scene for a clean architectural visualization.

Fine tune the concrete area to make space for trees, plants, a pond, and grasses, using bridge, extrude, merge vertices, and bevel edges to refine the layout and realism.

Model a dining table in Maya by shaping a box into a top and legs, extrude faces, align, duplicate, and bevel edges for a polished render.

Model a dining chair in Maya by building the seat and legs, adjusting thickness, beveling edges, duplicating and aligning parts, and grouping them for architectural visualization.
