Introduction to Hard Surface Modeling

Overview

“I will start to build the base mesh of the robot following the proportions of the concept and using basic tools in Max. I will show the main pieces that should be modeled at this stage and the details that should NOT be included in this phase. I will also explain the importance of starting with good proportions and I will teach you how to use instances to work with the transformed robot (open and closed) at the same time and make sure that the pieces fit, move correctly and work in a realistic way. ”

In this video lesson Victoria Passariello Fontiveros addresses the topic: Creation of the base mesh I, which is part of the Domestika online course: Introduction to Hard Surface Modeling. Learn the techniques and tools to make robots using polygonal-design programs like Maya and 3ds Max.

“CREATION OF BASE MESH In this lesson we will start working with the base mesh using the tools we learned before. I will show you which pieces should be modeled at this stage and which not. I recommend having the concept always present and you see it so as not to lose the reference. Let us begin. I will have the reference always at hand on my second monitor If you can have it on a second monitor or have it on one side so you're always watching what I'm doing Compared to the concept, much better, I recommend it. Let us begin. The first thing I'm going to do is your body, that as we see is a c...”
