The details of 3D modeling can be overwhelming when you design your first set.

In this tutorial I walk you through the process I use for building hi-tech set interiors for film. In real-time with full audio I construct a subterranean silo in SketchUp focusing on heavy industrial design elements and robotics.

Learn easy modeling techniques and effective lighting and texturing methods to create some Halloween eye candy in the Tim Burton style. After making the component parts we look at how to set up a pleasing composition and use procedural textures, as well as create nighttime lighting with a ghost like feel. Here you'll learn how to work with different light types, negative lighting and balance light colors to get the right contrast for a moody exterior scene.

Creating a Fantasy Landscape is a tutorial that contains a lot of NURBS modeling so you will learn how to work with isoparms, hulls, CV’s, lofting surfaces and Maya’s curve tools. This is a fast way to generate a lot of geometry in a scene which is then converted to polygons for adding details
and refining the models.
