3D Challenge: Tire Threads

Saw an online tutorial about modeling tire threads and I've always wanted to create my own as an experiment. Finally got the chance to try it this weekend and I'd like to share what I've created.

Rather than showing different sides to the completed tire, I wanted to show snapshots of the process I took to finish it. Here's my take on that challenge:

3D Modeling Challenge: Electric Fan

To wrap up our NURBS lesson on Maya at school, we were given an Electric Fan challenge. I didn't want to go for the modern types of electric fans so I opted for a more vintage-inspired look. Here's my take on that challenge:

3D Modeling Challenge: Chandelier #2

At our 3D Arts school, we were given a challenge to create another Chandelier using the same tools we used on our first Chandelier. This time, however, we were requested to modify it to suit our tastes.

I have to say, that I really like this chandelier than my first one. Not only does it look more classy but the process itself is a lot easier since the tools and actions I used in Maya is something I'm already familiar with.

Here's my take on that challenge:

3D Modeling Challenge: Classic Temple

There are a lot of great online resources and video tutorials out there but one thing I would really recommend for Maya beginners is to read and follow the official Maya tutorials available at the Autodesk website.

I did, and the well-written instructions helped me a lot in understanding the tools and actions that are important to be learned by any beginner.

One of the very first 3D modeling challenge on the tutorial is creating a simple yet classic temple. Here is my take on that temple:

3D Modeling Challenge: Chandelier

Our first task as Autodesk Maya students was to follow a set of written instructions to create a CHANDELIER from NURBS.

Here is my take on our very first challenge.. if you have time, kindly leave a comment on my 3D model
