About This Course

Introduction to Hard Surface Modeling

In this tutorial we create a Dalek assault claw, covering a variety of hard surface modeling techniques in Maya. Topics include curves, extrusions along curves, motion paths and animation snapshots. The simple model allows us to show many modeling techniques in a short period of time. In the final part we also look at how to create contour renders in Maya.
