Maya Creating Illusion of Multi Story Tower

This free video and tex tutorial will teach you how to create an illusion with mapping a file texture onto a 3d object. After this tutorial you will be able to make great illusion for rendering task weather they are of architectural or mechanical modeling.

Tex tutorial………….

In this text tutorial we are going to create an illusion of a great building without modeling anything. We’ll simply use a cylinder and that’s it. Therefore we’ll assign some file texture to the model for creating an illusion of huge multi story tower building. We’ll map file texture on the object with cylindrical mapping. We can use this technique in 3d architectural texturing for saving time of rendering. 3d architectural rendering takes a lot of time if we can’t use tricks like this.

Let’s start the lesson,

Scale it uniformly so that it is easy to handle at all.

Note: it will automatically carry you to the attribute editor

Note: this will open a new window named Create Render Node

Select file swatch from Create Render Node Window

Locate the file of your choice from your hard disk by pressing the folder button in attribute editor, see the image below,

Select some appropriate thing like the images below,

Note: your cylinder will look like the image below after assigning
      the file texture to it,

Note: you will get something like the image below with cylindrical
      mapping handles,

Imagine! Above multi story tower is a simple default poly cylinder. If you try yourself to use your own ideas for making such things you will definitely get new and stunning results.
