In this video I go over how to model, texture, and render a crate. This video is focused on beginners, every step of the process is shown. I go over some of the modeling tools available in Maya. The video shows how to : make the model, apply materials, assign textures, create a normal map in Photoshop, creating a specular map, lighting, rendering.

DUDE USE 2017 MAYA PLS
Thanks 3dEx for your great Tute, something so simple really helped me with my uni work. Making basic assets for Unreal.
why when i press G does it bring back up the menu to choose lambert despite already having done one face
Hey 3dEx ! Been watching your stuff for quite some time now and I love it ! Helps me out alot ! But, I've been trying to download that plugin you put in the description and it won't load in my version of Photoshop (CC 2015.5)… Any advice for that ? I'll appreciate it, tnx !
hello sir,
im stuck in that interactive split tool…im doing the way you said like..select a point n then hold the click and select the point n all..but in my case nothing such happening…im selecting the tool and then the points but it is not selecting anything…it is like my interactive tool is not working properly….what to do???
Hey 3dEx, you are obviously working in the industry ? What stuff have you worked on and or what company do you work for ??
GREAT TUTES !
Wonderful tutorial! Clear and easy to follow! No need for the background muzak though….. 🙂
i didn't install photoshop in my laptop so i am stuck in middle. can you guide me? without using photoshop how can i apply texture?
right now i am trying to make this
Besides this being a good tutorial, you always should be aware of putting overlapping UVs on this box, if you like want to use it in a game engine with lightmaps. In that case you should definetly have separate uv parts for each face.
This is kinda embarrassing but at 1:57 you select a setting called "keep faces together", which does not appear in my program.. I am using the student version on a Mac book pro.
this might be that im using 2012, but when I press G to apply planar mapping to the other sides of the crate, it grows the selection instead. Is there a step I missed or is it because of my older version of maya?
Really nice tutorial! You know you can do shift D to duplicate your middle piece instead of copying each time and rotating it.
You are awesome mate. You produce such a nice and clear spoken tutorials with lot of info about key shortcuts and i like your workflow very much. Keep up…thumbs up.
Could you use a height map and just make a cube?
Just a tip! I had a problem where the shift+. wouldn't work, and found out the problem was the keyboard layout (Using PT-PT layout). I found out that shift+< would so the same thing. (It pretty much outputs the ">" character, which I assume is over the dot in your computer layout). Anyways, thanks for the tutorial, it's pretty awesome 🙂
When I add the plane and add the "use background" attribute I do all the steps you do but my crate still looks like it's floating through space. Any idea what's going on?
Geometry*
when i try and put the other textures on the box they dont copy exactly like the previous ones. i have two that are perfect but the others are not. i checked the texturing box and it shows red triangles. is that pieces of broken goemetry?
Hi, in Maya 2015 if i dont find the Split poligon tool in the Edit Mesh. I try to search it in others places but i dont know where it could be. Can you explain me where the split poligon is? please
when you were duplicating the planks you made, after you did one if you then press shit+D it would duplicate special so you would not have to waste time rotating a lot. its a bit different when doing the top of the crate. just letting you know just is case you was not aware of it. thanks by the way i learned a couple of small but new tricks and understood somethings a bit more
Please help me….why did my box end up with shadows on it? I can't see what I'm doing. Is there a way I can fix that? Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/JwEaRw5.png
i cant find in the edit mesh the keep faces together
does anybody knows where the 'Keep Faces Together' button in the 2015 version is ? im want to do something like this but i cant find it please i need quick help
can gimp be a good alternative to Photoshop im using it for the tutorial and it is working fine but im not sure if i can use it for all texturing?
Great tutorial. I'm beginner level, but after watching your tutorials I feel more like intermediate now!
first maya tutorial I finished watching! I actually stop working @26:34 because my maya attribute editor doesn't show those tabs, instead they shows a bunch of random tabs and I can't do anything with it. If you know what happen, that would be awesome! I however learn very much from your vid already. Thanks
13:50 why are you making another model to then put the board on the first model when you've already done what was need on the copied model?
hey thanks. now i get normal maps and bump maps
Hey thank you sooo much for these tutorial videos, you have no idea how much they have helped me!! These are the best maya tutorials on the internet in my opinion!
great for beginnes! thank you!
Thanks a lot really well explained and clear ty !
How can get this for ati?
At 2:55 i can only extrude outwards not inwards, do i need to select something?
Knew only textures, heard about normal maps and other maps many times and only now after your video the huge puzzle part took its place) A HUGE A THANKYOU!))
Thank you VERY VERY useful video!!! 😀
Just wondering in the Edit Mesh tab i dont seem to have Split Polygon Tool. Is there anyway to get it ?
best tutorial I have used
Hey Irvin, near the start, you extruded the sides inwards to give them depth, on my maya, the side won't go in, but only come out. Is the something I need to select to allow me to do this?
I have brand new install Maya 2013 on Pc. Everything going great first try(intermediate 3ds exp) till @ 11:05 is called "Interactive Split Tool" on my version. but it does not move around. It's origin is the corner to start and i can not click the line to slide a vert up and down to click a starting point. instead it seems to snap to verts and the center point of the edge line. I have messed around and messed around. I am stumped I really hope you can help. googling has lead me nowhere.
this is great because i want to start to do minecraft animations and i need to know the basics first
Best beginner and crate creation video I have ever watched. I wanted a video where the diagonal board could be created on the crate.
My texture doesn't line up properly 🙁 How can I make it align?
Thanks 😀
very good explaning thank u very much
im having trouble with split polygon tool, when i press enter the lines dissapear and also they dont go where i need them to be on the sides, any hints on that?

Ok, cool.
