Overview

The Art of NURBS Modeling Volume 1 provides visual effects artists with an introduction to the powerful NURBS modeling tools available in Autodesk Maya.

From curves to surfaces and everything in between, we'll dive deep into the Maya NURBS modeling tools, and put them to use by modeling a highly detailed, hurricane lantern.

NURBS modeling techniques are used in the visual effects industry for creating highly detailed, models. We're going to learn how to create NURBS surfaces from curves by using the loft, extrude, revolve, and planar surface tools.

A NURBS surface is only as good as its underlying curves so we're going to spend a fair bit of time learning about curve creation and editing techniques that will help you create better models.

Along the way, we're going to learn numerous tips for efficient NURBS modeling, including how to keep objects organized using display layers, how to create accurate scale models using reference images, and discover countless time-saving techniques.
