This tutorial is showing you Maya modeling concept through rim modeling projects. It is too big concept therefore it is divided into parts of 15 segments. All the segments are consisting on specific function and theory and by using these segments you will learn Maya modeling concept gradually. Modeling is related to Maya basic concepts and moreover it contains separate setting for any kind of modeling. The modeling is usually created with Polygons and NURBS method. Both are used in different field and function frequently according to their demands. Here you are learning the concept from basic shape in part 2 of Maya rim modeling tutorials. The rim and tire is being created here with the help of reference image and these reference images are easily obtained from any online sites.
We have also taken reference image of tire and rim and creating its modeling with plane method. We have copied it on the plane and split it into four sides. It will make us easy in creating the tire and rim modeling using four views of the image. First of all we are in need of polygonal cylinder; rotate it at 90 degree and subdivision parameter. Create another cylinder and rotate it also at 90 degree. It is using here as outer frame of our rim model. Select the faces of inner cylinder and extrude them outward to connect then with corresponding vertices. For more tutorial as next stage of tire and rim modeling, search for next parts and learn it easily.
