---------------------------
I´m very excited to share this training with you as it is packed with a lot of video content, various assignments, and tests, for one goal only - to level up your 3D modeling skills fast and efficiently.
In this training, you will learn everything from how to use the software to advanced 3D modeling techniques.
Even though this training is made in Maya, the main rules and principles can be easily applied in any other software like Blender or 3DsMax.
The complete training is divided into 6 classes.
Let's start with Class one
This class is primarily focused on getting ourselves familiar with basic modeling tools in Maya. We will learn how to navigate and customize the Maya interface and we will also learn how to handle all the modeling tools, that we´ll extensively use in our future projects.
Every tool we use is explained in great detail, so we can maximize our efficiency later. We will cover the basics of topology and complex poles, and after the introduction of general modeling tools, we´ll be more prepared to continue to the next class.
Class Two is our topology foundation class.
Here, we´ll get ourselves familiar with topology theory and the anatomy of the clean topology workflow.
Our focus here is to establish a solid foundation and understanding of modeling rules.
Regardless of what you would like to model in the future, either vehicles or robotic designs, a solid understanding of topology principles will provide us with a clear sense of direction when creating our future projects.
In class three we´re going to implement everything we learned in previous classes, and start our practice with simple objects like tablets and handheld gaming consoles. All lessons are recorded in real-time, with step by step explanation of each action made, and the reasons why we make certain decisions.
Class four is our preparation for more complex topology. In this class, we´re going to explore more complex shapes, but at the same time keeping is very beginner-friendly.
We´re going to cover an example workflow of more challenging areas and what awaits us in the next class.
Class Five is our advanced class. In this 8-hour session, we´ll create a motorbike design from start to finish and talk about how to deal with situations and challenges that a project of this scale might hold.
We´ll have a lot of topics to cover, so for that reason, all the topics will be categorized by importance or complexity, with recommended skill level, so we can be sure that we are spending our modeling time as efficiently as we can.
Class Six is reserved for critique, feedback, assignments, and project file review.
Sometimes watching video tutorials might not be enough, and we can never be sure are we properly developing our skills from videos alone.
We´ll take a closer look at student project files, we´ll talk about potential problems and solutions, and how to avoid bad modeling habits early on.
Here you will get the chance to implement everything you´ve learned so far, without any video guidance, share your results, and get in-depth feedback on your progress, making sure you´re building proper modeling habits along the way.
Assignments range from very simple ones to very complex.... for example, the grenade, where we are placed in a situation to model a complete project based on a provided concept without a video tutorial.
But don´t worry, cause in this process you will not be left alone, and we´ll be with you every step of the way... if you decide to share your progress and truly test your skill by implementing everything we´ve covered so far.
After you complete the main training, you´ll be able to join our advanced group, where you can share your more serious projects, portfolio work, or demo reels.
In addition to 6 regular classes, we´ll also have bonus areas, where new content is being added over time, like for example, how to create more complex concepts in form of a motorbike variant, we´ll discuss rendering, UV mapping, and more.
If you wish to level up your 3D modeling skills, join our growing community of artists, where together we can interact, and share projects, portfolios, hiring processes, and experiences.
This is our Masterclass aaaand I hope to see you soon! :)
