Maya 2015 Modeling Tutorial – Intermediate Techniques – Arch way

In this series of videos, we’re checking out some very basic, yet powerful modelling techniques. While we’re using Maya, the principles can be applied in any other 3D application.

Tools we’re using:
Move Tool
Insert Edge Loop
Bevel
Multi-Cut
Extrude
Snapping

SHORTCUTS

Vertex Snapping (V)
Grid Snapping (X)
Move Tool (W)
Select a loop (Double Click Edge/Poly-strip)
Modeling Marking Menu (SHIFT + RMB )
Selection Marking Menu (CTRL + RMB)
Modeling Tool Modifier (CTRL + SHIFT + RMB when tool is active)
Select model (Double click on a poly)

  1. I can say that information is explained some way to fast, but It does help to get the idea of how to do something right way, I didn't know about bend tool so thanks for the idea to go forward.
    I would this tutorial should be called like more technic or way to think when the model, because its to fast to repeat the tutotial, but it does says the idea of how you should act, and how to model faster.

  5. I am sorry but this is a very lengthy and almost inaccurate way of handling a perfect curves, even for Intermediates. You shouldn't even need to manually insert vertices by hand. I use a boolean for cases like these.
    > Just make box for a wall in front view, snap it to grid.
    > Make a Cylinder with 12 sides same way, snap to grid.
    > Delete lower half of the perfect cylinder, then boolean with difference (The cylinder should be crossing on both sides of box)
    > Then delete the faces created on the box that has N-gons (5-sided geometry)
    > Do manual bridging between edges of the box and the resulting cylindrical perfect curve.
    > insert loops at corners to make it crisp when smoothed.
    It takes 2 minutes.

  6. is there no easier way to do this. I started on modo because of cost, and its way easier to do, you just designate how wide the arch will be and then it will create graduated set of edges to create the arch automatically.

  8. i did not know about the edge ring utilities and split. thanks. i always used insert edge loop and set multiple edge loops to 1, but this is a bit faster . 🙂

  10. Cool tut. Question – why not use a Boolean to cut out the edge instead of tracing it and cutting it manually? Otherwise, great stuff – I didn't realize half of those options were hidden in those right-click menus. 🙂

  14. I'm sure there is an easier way of doing this,i mean i'm not using maya(3ds max user),but i can make so much better,cleaner model faster then this.

    Oh btw not being rude,but you seem to swallow your saliva or smt so often it's annoying,well at least for me,again i'm not trying to insult or anything just saying.

  16. Hi I'm new to maya but not modelling, and I actually liked the tutorial.. thanks 🙂 I think for me all I could add is how to bake the object at the end as learning Maya for Unreal engine import so having the deformers attached is no good so off to find how to bake it 🙂

  21. For an alternative way with similar results: just start from a cube instead of a plane; let's say that it's positioned similarly enough to where you polyplane is and then bevel the X aligned edge closest to the origin, with three segments (or more, but I'm just mimicking this video. In the channel box you then only have to change two other settings from the defaults ones: Autofit to OFF, and then you can set Roundness to its NEGATIVE opposite. Delete the usual (and annoying) extra-edges left from the pre-2016 version of Maya bevel, and you get the same perfectly round result. No bollean operation, no cylinders hurt. And pretty fast. Just another way to start this, at least. Then follow the rest of this video 😉

  29. Brah, learn to at least mention once wich hotkeys you are using if youre going to do beginner tutorials. Im not going to click in stupid menus to extrude after coming from blender (in wich you simply press "e"). kthxbai
