Welcome to this lecture for "Modelling the Brooklyn Bridge" please be sure to follow each lecture in sequence as there are many tips and trick included within the course, skipping sections may result in confusion later on.

Software Used during the course

Autodesk Maya 2016 (I also use Maya 2018 for the lattice deformer part of the course as in my version of Maya 2016 it was causing problems) we also touch on using ZBrush (but this is not essential) and for map creation we will be using Photoshop!

Modelling a detailed Bridge using Maya

Lecture Overview

1. To get a sense of scale I often block in my models before starting the actual work this helps me visualise the size and placement and also gives me a chance to analyse the reference this is vital for projects where you have no CAD or orthographic views!

Modelling a detailed Bridge using Maya

Lecture Overview

1. Lets add more detail like bevels and the small cable open areas

2. We can also do a bit of pixel pushing, note how we use the scale tool to straighten sections in the geometry

3. These techniques we have used to date are the building blocks for all modelling inside Maya, we can practically build any object starting from the most basic shape and adding detail this does tow important things for us 1: Allows us to easily manage our model and 2: Keeps the topology clean and low in polycount

Modelling a detailed Bridge using Maya

Lecture Overview

1. To be able to texture or create maps for any 3D model we need to set up the UVs of the model this is a basically a flattened version of the model so we can lay textures over the top or back maps to it

2. Its important to try not to get any distortions these are easier to see by applying a checker map over the top and then making sure these are square

3. UV laying out requires quite a bit of time so understanding the principals is an essential skill, take your time and play around setting up your own UVs we will be coming back to this time and time again

2. We are going to have a look at our reference images and work out the brick count for the sections of the tower

3. I am also going to show you two methods you may want to use to create your normal maps

"Normal maps are used to give the illusion of details these can be used in conjunction with Bump maps or displacement maps and many applications have multiple slots for piping these into the materials you use"

Modelling a detailed Bridge using Maya

Lecture Overview

1. OK so yet again more revisions to our UVs it can take a quite a while to get things spot on, and yes it might have been easier to delete all but a quarter section and just get that right before mirroring and welding, the most important thing is your confident when doing UVs this is something you should work on a lot to get good at it!

2. Please note now you have completed the black and white texture we will save this for later when I show you how we can use this in ZBrush

Lecture Overview

1. Now we will use the photoshop black and white mask we created earlier and apply this inside ZBrush

This will be the third method shown to you its up to you which method you want to use :)

"Its important to remember we created the black and white image inside Photoshop and matched it to the UVs if the UVs change in the meantime our black and white mask could be out of position, just something to bere in mind!"

Modelling a detailed Bridge using Maya

Lecture Overview

1. Lets now UV the girder

2. Remembering we only need to do this ones as we will be reusing this piece a few times this will save creating new geometry and also time texturing of course if you wish every piece to be unique then that is your choice!

Modelling a detailed Bridge using Maya

Lecture Overview

1. Now we will need to create the end panel

2. By creating these three or four pieces and UV laying them out we can duplicate this piece multple times and create a very complex structure

"Please note because the small cross section have quite a lot of polygons we will later be changing this for a transparent panel that only contains one polygon, but that later lets press on..."

Modelling a detailed Bridge using Maya

Lecture Overview

1. Poly count considerations should be adhered to as this pieces is multiplied 100s of time even deleting a single face thats not seen can save valuable system resources and speed up your scene, you should bear this in mind when ever and whatever your modelling!

Modelling a detailed Bridge using Maya

Lecture Overview

1. Now we have one cross section lets position it in the tower scene

"Notice how I work in separate files when creating parts for models I find it easier to keep the files separated until I have finished I then copy and paste them into the master scene, some people use scene references inside maya so they have a master scene that references lots of scene files this is good sometimes but more commonly I use this method."

Modelling a detailed Bridge using Maya

Lecture Overview

1. Again lets look very closely at the reference images to try to get the correct position, some times you might find other parts need to be adjusted and thats fine just understand the principals!

Modelling a detailed Bridge using Maya

Lecture Overview

1. Lets position the other three cross sections

2. We will also seperate the UVs the reason I do this is that I do not want the texture to look identical to each other so splitting them into four UV island we can make each piece unique!

"As another tip you might want to shuffle the pieces around to add another level of uniqueness"

Modelling a detailed Bridge using Maya

Lecture Overview

1. We want to add rivets now modelling a rivet is really impratical as we have so many it would really pump up the ammount of polygons the scene has so we can simple do a normal projections and use this as a normal map we can then add this to the Normal Photoshop file

Modelling a detailed Bridge using Maya

Lecture Overview

1. Lets add some rust around the rivets

2. We can easily find great images on line and use them to enhance and make our bridge look more realistic the time you put into your textures will show on the final render, play around and have fun

Modelling a detailed Bridge using Maya

Lecture Overview

1. The road kirb edge needs to be created lets do it

"Remember for the sake of the training I keep updating the UVs and texture as we go, normally i would model all components and export the entire UVs in one go and then texture it all up in Photoshop, this save a lot of time however I feel there is a need to repeat these steps often as its key to understanding the process!"

Welcome to this lecture for "Modelling the Brooklyn Bridge" please be sure to follow each lecture in sequence as there are many tips and trick included within the course, skipping sections may result in confusion later on.

Software Used during the course

Autodesk Maya 2016 (I also use Maya 2018 for the lattice deformer part of the course as in my version of Maya 2016 it was causing problems) we also touch on using ZBrush (but this is not essential) and for map creation we will be using Photoshop!

Modelling a detailed Bridge using Maya

Lecture Overview

1. Lets now duplicate our cable we will need to use another lattice to straighten it but that easy to do, in hind site i should have saved a copy when the wires were straight, but as your see you can always fix things later
