Architectural modeling tutorial for MAYA - Page 3

brentwatanabe · April 4th, 2007

MAYA has a dwg translator as one of its plugins. You just have to make sure it's loaded. Though, now that I think about it...it might be part of the bonus tools that you need to download from the Autodesk Site.

So please lets get this form back on its feet.

Nice render. Only problem I have is the ceiling. It looks too blown out.

how bout model it in max, then export as fbx (download the right FBX plugin from Autodesk website) then import as fbx into maya to do your lighting and rendering. cheating but if it gets you results : p

I know that there are a few tutorials on how to do Archi modeling for Maya. Simply Maya has a cool victorian house tutorial.

Hello all, (another stray Maya user wanders in the door). Seems there are more of us on these forums than we thought!

I might add my $0.02, has anyone used Maya 8.0/ 8.5? There are a a few changes to the Maya polymodelling tools. after Autodesk snapped-up Maya, we have seen a few of the Autodesk tools appear - interactive poly creation, poly bridge etc.

My point being, that poly modelling is becoming very similar between the two main apps (MAX and MAYA). In general, the principles behind all hardSurface modelling are the same - clean even topology. Learn this, and you can model in any 3D app.

All that aside, there is a couple of training DVD's by Digital tutors.

These will get you up to speed in no time.

HTH,

Count me in ! I am a newbie to MAYA but I have a great confidence that Maya can create amazing archiviz work too. By the fact that the Vray for Maya is on the horizon, Maya will be even more attractive to archiviz artist.

Here is some of my maya stuff

It would help if you guys could C&C it for me the Max heads dont usally have a clue on how to critique it they just say the usual lighting things because they are either scared of the maya or just dont want to say anything.

Maya has excellent tools for polygon modeling. The problem is when you have to move accurately a vertex or face. It only can be done through the command line, by tapping the previous and next position of sub element.
In Max it is very easy to do such a thing.
Now there is Vray for Maya and MR, of course. If you find some script witch fixing that workflow problem tell me. J
