In this 3d modeling video tutorial lesson you will learn how to model the gate with polygon extrude tool in 3d modeling and animation software Autodesk Maya. Extrude tool is one of the most important 3d modeling tool in polygonal 3d modeling, Extrude tool is available in many types of commands for extruding faces, extruding edge and extruding vertices and also it used in NURBS 3d modeling and Subdivision 3d modeling, in polygon 3d modeling Extrude tool use the existing polygon faces, edges or vertices and extrude it where in NURBS 3d modeling you only draw pattern curve and shape curve and then use the extrude tool to create 3d model of certain shape in specific pattern, e.g. you want to model 3d cylinder then draw a circle as shape curve and then a straight line as pattern curve select the shape curve and then shift select the pattern curve and hitting extrude tool in NURBS gives you cylinder. Let’s learn how to model the gate with extrude tool in polygonal 3d modeling in 3d animation modeling software Autodesk Maya.

Steps:
- Create a polygon cube from the Polygon primitives in the Create menu and then scale it to the size of the pillars of the gate/door model. Hit ‘5’ for shaded mode.
- Press ctrl + d for duplicating this pillar and move the other at second pillar place.
- Go to create menus and in the arc tool option click on three points arc. Then click on top face for first arc point and then in-between the two pillars at some height move than pillars’ height and then third point should be at the top face of the second pillar.
- Select he first pillar and then shift select the curve and right click and select the extrude polygon.
- In the channel box scroll down and increase value of subdivision to make the gate railing more realistic. That’s how to model the 3d model of gate in 3d modeling animation software Autodesk Maya.
