Features: Taking the course of Advanced Modeling in Maya, for senior students majoring in film and animation at higher education institutions, is an essential way to improve the level of character and object modeling. Building on basic modeling skills, this book provides detailed explanations in eleven chapters, including several typical project workflows, and comprehensively analyzes the mutual use of Polygon, NURBS, and Subsurface Modeling techniques. On the basis of learning modeling, it effectively enhances lighting techniques and Maya's painting techniques. By utilizing production techniques to represent the concave and convex surfaces of models, and fully and flexibly applying several important Animation tools to Modeling, students can learn to use deformation techniques to refine shapes, create viewpoints using photography, and employ numerous methods to make Maya modeling more diverse, recreating the rich and realistic essence of objects and showcasing the authenticity of object modeling.
