Intro to Maya 2022 - Video #2 - Modeling the Bug
In this video we will build the bug model and I will show you several different tools in Maya. We will use some of the basic polygon shapes in Maya to create a simple bug shaped 3D model. I will show you some methods to reshape these basic polygons, how to duplicate them using a couple different ways to mirror the polygons so you do not have to remake the legs, eyes, and antennas. I will show you how to parent different parts of the model so that the children will move when you adjust the parent. At the end of this video you will know how to work in Maya and start seeing how to use the basic shapes to make more complex models. You will also be ready for video #3, where I will show you how to work with materials and how to create textures.
