We are modeling a gun using sketchup technique in 3d animation modeling program Autodesk Maya. Sketchup is technique in digital 3d modeling; a 3d model is prepared from a 2d image. For example: we have image of a gun now you will learn how its barrel is model how its magazine target and bullet etc. keep following points in mind:
- First set menu at the polygons.
- Now according to your image start with creating a cylinder and modeling it with extrude tools extend it up to the size and shape of model.
- Then in the same way using extrude tool in the edge mode create other polygon and fit their sizes and shape according to the shape of gun in the image.
It takes time but easy to do for more information watch this tutorial video from the 3d modeling and animation class.
