Architectural 3D Modelling using Autodesk Maya

OBJECTIVE

The main objective of this course is to introduce various techniques of polygon mesh modelling utilizing Autodesk Maya for designing complex geometries and architectural forms. The processes covered in these classes will explore various mesh modelling operations that can be applied to a polygon primitive to achieve high-end results in architectural 3d modelling. This course will cover basic approaches of polygon modelling for beginners as well as intermediate levels of modeling to achieve a complex geometry.
