Embark on a Journey to the Stars: Design Your Own Interstellar Craft!

Dive into the vast universe of 3D modeling and texturing with our comprehensive online course, where you'll learn to craft a stunning sci-fi spaceship from scratch using Autodesk Maya and ZBrush. This course is perfect for artists looking to elevate their 3D design skills to the next level!

What You'll Learn:

• Foundation with Maya: We kick off our intergalactic journey by mastering the basics of creating complex shapes in Maya through edge extrusion. This approach simplifies your workflow, ensuring that you focus on the essence of your design.

• Advanced Modeling Techniques: Discover the importance of edge loops for subdivisions that will lead to cleaner bevels and smoother transitions as your model transforms from a low poly to a high detail piece of art.

• Detailing with ZBrush: Once your mesh is ready, it's time to bring it into ZBrush for detailed sculpting. Learn to use polygroups effectively for mirrored details and overall cleanliness, which are essential for professional-grade models.

• Greeble Galaxy: Get hands-on with IMM (InsertMultiMesh) brushes to add those intricate 'greebles' and accessories that make your sci-fi ship come alive. These details will add character and interest to your hard surfaces, making your design stand out.

• Boolean Operations: Explore the power of LiveBoolean in ZBrush to create inset cuts and booleaned shapes within your subtools, adding a level of detail that truly embodies the futuristic essence of sci-fi.

• Combining Techniques for Epic Results: Learn how to integrate IMM brushes with LiveBooleans to significantly speed up the process of adding details to your model, even under tight deadlines in a production environment.

• Sculpting Perfection: Use Slice Curves and Curve Functions to create frame meshes that accurately follow the seam of your polygroups, resulting in a model that is thoroughly detailed yet refined.
