Anyone know where I can find a Maya based Jewelry tutorial? Specifically gemstones/diamonds. Looking to model something with facets.

Hi

I saw a tutorial some day, iā€™ll try to find it.
But if you just want the gemstone mesh you can look there :

This is software you can get all designs from and build nice modelā€¦
There is quite a lot of models out there for it as wellā€¦

Ok what if I know nothing about Maya and need help extruding? Are there any basics tutorials out there. :confused:

#766

For the basic tutorials, look into the maya series on Lynda.com. I believe itā€™s the 2nd or 3rd chapter that goes over extruding.

hi all

been a while since i post on cgtalk.
wanted to add to this great thread 2 video tuts i made,

<<they are kinda in the rough ( no audio)>>

but I thought they might be interesting for someone
one video is about creating image planes ( kinda different approach), and the other is about creating a modeling shader to use along with the method i use to create the ref planes for modelingā€¦

hope they are helpful to somebody

thanks

This link will load a series of free video tutorials I have been recording for my students. I am always adding more, so please keep checking back one in a while.

These are mostly aimed at novice users, and cover everything from a basic introduction to the software, through to rigging and animating a 3D character.

Cheers
Steven.

Guys i found this free tutorial

Squirt By Kurt Boutilier

This free cartoon tutorial is for newer users to get a basic understanding of the modeling tools, techniques and interface of Maya 2008. The project begins by creating an image plane to guide us in modeling the basic shape and proportions in nurbs. Once we have our character blocked out we will then switch our nurb geometry into polygons to connect all the loose parts together to form one piece of geometery. Some of the many tools covered are isoparm creation, the move tool to move control vertexes for shaping, and the split polygon tool. After our character is attached we will then convert to subā€™ds to have more control over shaping muscles.
