The Ultimax Apocalypse. Introducing the first Maya DVD for 3D-Palace,
learn how to create this monster of a model.
Right from the start you'll learn important techniques for streamlining work flow
by changing the very User Interface to suit your modeling needs.
Learn how to create your own custom shelf, complete with every tool
and function you will need for the job at hand.
The model itself starts from nothing but a cylinder,
where straight away you will be shown how to manipulate objects,
object components and various tools to create the desired polygonal model.
The set is split into 3 main segments: The Arms, The Gun and The Engines.
Each entails a mass of detail from individual scalable turrets to singular rivets
to produce a model not only heavy in looks, but suitable for Film and Broadcast use.
Techniques such as smoothing and duplication are utilized
to great effect in the creation of the engines.
You will even learn how to fake smoothing on primitive objects
through heavy use of the bevel tool.
