In this free video tutorial you will learn how to model a tire with polygons in Maya. After this Tutorial you will be able to model all types of all tires for all types of all vehicles.
This method used Aziz Khan of Afghanistan and then I have been teaching this method to my class the modeling of a tire from polygons in Maya for several months until I created one idea of my own, I will set before you with the passage of time all of my own ideas. Anyway, in this tutorial you are going to learn how to model a tire 3d object in 3d software Maya. I put this tutorial in mechanical 3d modeling section because I know at least it is the need of wheel makers at all and they can get a lot familiarity about techniques of using tools. Yes, it’s the most important thing for a modeler, the techniques of using tools. No doubt we know and can easily use many tools of some 3d software but unfortunately most of us don’t know where we should choose a proper tool for specific and most appropriate use.
Modeling a tire is possible with unlimited methods and ways of getting the most real shape or something more than real. This is one of the unlimited ideas.
Poly mechanical modeling is suitable for such type of objects which have the much details because you can control a poly object hundred times easily than a NURBS 3d object.
