This is polygon 3d modeling lesson for the beginners of the 3d modeling and animation software Autodesk Maya. Polygon 3d modeling is the simplest way of 3 d modeling you prepare the polygon mesh surface, which is surface of squarish patches or other polygons then using the 3d modeling tool and commands the edges, vertices and faces of these polygons are edited and modified for modeling the 3d objects and this is what polygon 3d modeling is. For example you have a cube and you want to model a room of it, then you will use polygon 3 d modeling technique, you know that cube has six square faces, now what polygon 3d modeling is that divide these six square faces into many sub faces and then edit and modify these faces to model the room. There are many ways for polygon modeling in 3d animation modeling software Autodesk Maya. When you are in ‘Modeling’ menus set you are model the polygon if you want unique polygon 3d modeling tools and commands then change the menus set to ‘Polygon’.
The other ways of 3d modeling are NURBS 3d modeling and Subdivision 3d modeling in 3d modeling and animation software Autodesk Maya and you also learn how to use the NURBS 3d modeling for 3d character setup and how to use the Subdivision 3d modeling for 3d character setup in 3d animation modeling software Autodesk Maya.
In polygon 3d modeling the most commonly used tools and commands are the Move tool, Extrude tool, scale tool, rotate tool and insert Edge loop tool. In this free 3d modeling video tutorial you will learn how to use the common polygon 3d modeling tool in 3d modeling and animation software Autodesk Maya.
