Creating A Futuristic Weapon In Maya – Modeling The Base
Hey guys, today I will show you how to make a futuristic weapon in Maya. There are lots of beautiful examples available on the net, but I won’t be using any of them due to copyrights. So, here I have prepared my own model of a gun and then took an image as reference for making this tutorial.

Create A Stylized Character With Maya And ZBrush, Part 6 Rendering
In the six and final part of the Stylized Character series you’ll complete the project by setting up a simple studio scene and rendering the character. Shaun will teach you how to light the scene, create materials for the character and what render settings to use to achieve a great looking final result using V-Ray. Finish things up after the jump!

Crafting A Detailed ‘Next-Gen Boiler’ – Part 4 UVMapping
In this tutorial I’ll show you how to create a next-gen, game model of an old weathered Boiler, with the help of only one black & white reference image. The whole process will cover the Low poly Modeling, High poly Modeling, UV mapping, Textures baking (i.e Normal and Occlusion maps) and Diffuse Texturing. Finally we’ll be applying Xoliul’s shader in Maya for realtime rendering of the model.

Create A Stylized Character With Maya And ZBrush, Part 5 Texturing
In part five of the Stylized Character Creation series, you’ll begin creating high resolution textures for the character. Shaun will start by applying base textures to the model in Maya and rendering a shading test to check for errors, as well as the overall composition and color of the textures.
He’ll then move into Photoshop and guide you through the process of creating high resolution maps for the shirt, sweater, jeans and skin using a combination of photos and hand painting techniques. Finally we’ll apply the maps in Maya to complete the texturing phase of the character.
