Final Product What You'll Be Creating

This entry is part 2 of 2 in the series Old Post Box

Learn how to create a low poly, highly detailed, old UK post box worn out by the weather, rusty and bitten up. A model suitable for use in the game industry or as an environment filler for your scenes. We’ll take a simple, straight forward eye-balled approach to the modeling while relying on several references images. We’ll then dive into the UVMapping and learn how to create a highly detailed PSD network shader via Maya, for the Color, Normal & Specular maps.

    Hey Ran, thanks for the tutorial, was my first on Maya and i really enjoyed, you are a excellent tutor!
    My only problem is my bumps, when i look at the viewport it is ok (almost identical to yours) but when i render it looks like if i forgot to check the 2d Bump Attributes to use as: Tangent Space normals, after doing the Xnormal process.

    Here is pic of the problematic and a good one rendered without using Xnormal.
