If you’re curious about the 3D world and would like to learn how to build 3D models yourself, but don’t know where to start, this 3D modeling course for beginners will teach you how to create 3D models from scratch. No prior knowledge is needed.

In these classes you will learn how to use Autodesk Maya software and how to set up a professional workflow for modeling. Our main objective is to introduce you to 3D modeling techniques and practices through different tasks and projects which will help you build a solid foundation in 3D modeling.

How is the course structured?

Our 3d modeling course has been divided into 9 bigger sections, and each of them you should be able to complete within one week.
At the beginning of the course we are focusing on simple object creation which will help you get familiarized with the Maya software and its toolset.
As you move forward with each section we go over some new aspects of theory and use it in practice by gradually creating more complex objects, adding more detail and realism.
Once you’ve covered the majority of the modeling tools and techniques, and feel comfortable within the Maya scene, we move onto our biggest project of the course and create a 3D model full of intricate details. While building this model you will also learn about high poly and low poly modeling techniques for games.
Finally, you will finish the course having the knowledge and skills of how to create UV maps and prepare your model for texturing.
