Autodesk Maya 2023 NURBS Modelling Techniques

Learn to create a rectangle, apply the fillet tool to corners, adjust the flat radius with attributes, and use cut, attach, and trim to form a single rounded object.

Use the rebuild tool to control the number of spans on a NURBS curve, with uniform or linear options and a parameter range, and match span counts between curves.

Explore nurbs surfaces in Maya 2023 by learning interactive creation, base shape generation, and parameter controls such as radius, height, width, smoothness, sections, and control vertices.

Master the loft tool in maya to turn curves into surfaces, manage curve order, duplicate geometry, and adjust loft options such as uniform, reverse direction, linear vs cubic, and sections.

Learn to create and modify surfaces in Maya using planer tool, boundary tool, and esquire tool, with control vertices, reverse direction, and editing via the outliner.

Apply the extrude tool to create and refine surfaces, using loft and duplicate surface techniques, then add detail with circle profile, control vertices, and reverse direction for shaping.

Explore the booleans tool in maya, applying union, difference, and intersection. Sequence operations by selecting objects, registering them, and using trim edge in editing mode.

learn how to set and lock a reference image in the viewport to guide lantern model creation in Maya, using image place import, side viewport, and transform locking.

Create and shape curves in Maya by setting up a new layer, using the CV Curve Tool with snapping, and modifying control points with the component type button.

Renaming curves and surfaces in Maya, correcting vertex placement on grid, and fixing holes, then using duplicate special and reverse direction to create mirrored curves, attach them, and delete history.

We model glass and chimney sections in Maya by drawing curves, applying revolve, refining with vertex snapping, and duplicating curves to attach and form circular profiles for bars and supports.

Model a glass support in Maya using a circle profile, rotate 45 degrees, revolve to form the base, then extrude an arch, detach curves, and adjust vertices.

Check render settings for NULL render; install if needed from render.com, delete history, set up a physical skylight, and assign Arnold car paint (metallic blue) and glass shaders, adjusting transparency.
