Video-Modeling NURBS Robot Foot 1

In 3d video game designing complex 3d modeling of detailed character is involved same is the case with other higher level 3d character modeling which includes many details in them like organic 3 d model, 3d animated film character, mechanical modeling of machines such as engine 3d model and architectural modeling of interiors of buildings etc. here in this 3d modeling and 3d animation learning website you will learn how to setup game design Robotic character in 3d modeling and animation software using simple 3d modeling tools and commands of NURBS 3d modeling. NURBS 3d modeling is very flexible and faster way of 3 d modeling once you are familiar with the NURBS 3d modeling tools you can draw all the complex character very easily and quickly. In this 3d modeling lesson you will learn how to model the foot area of the robot in 3d animation modeling software Autodesk Maya.

    Steps:

  1. Go the Create menu and in NURBS primitives create Sphere and then rotate it on z- axis at 90 degrees. Right click and go to Isopalm mode and select the central isopalm and in the Edit NURBS menu select Detach and then select the half sphere and now you can delete it into two parts. Repeat the process so that you have one fourth of the sphere as your robotic foot.
  2. Go to Create > NURBS and this time select cylinder and now select its lower isopalm and press ‘r’ for scale tool and scale it to fit the toe of 3d model robot.
  3. For inserting palm of foot into this foot you have to cut the cylinder with curve, go to ‘Create’ menu and select create EP curve tool and draw EP curve for the area you want to cut in side view port, press space bar to navigate to side view.
  4. Then select the curve and then surface and go to Edit Curves menu and select the Project Surface Curve. Then select the cylinder surface go to Edit NURBS and select Trim tool and the click on the surface which you want to keep other than cutting surface.
  5. Go to create menu and get Create EP curve tool and draw curve so that it is inserting inwards the area of the toe. Now select the palm end surface curve and then the second curve go to Surfaces menu and click on the Extrude tool.
