Simply Maya Architecture 101: Taj Mahal Modelling | 1.2 Gb | .MOV
This Maya 2008 tutorial will cover basic Polygon work-flow which includes the use of Split Polygon , Extrude , Insert Edge Loop and Bevel tools to get a new user comfortable with the many aspects of modelling architecture.
You will start off by learning how to set up image planes to assist you with the dimensions and characteristics of your building. Following this a quick lesson on creating a custom shelf for your modelling project.
Then we will start modelling using Polygon Primatives to rough out part of the Taj Mahal. As the Taj Mahal is symmetrical only one quarter of the main building structure is modelled to save time with the remainder of the building being a lesson in duplication and combining to complete the outer walls. Additional details such as the Domes and Manarets are also modelled seprately and added to complete your model.
