Maya Hard Surface Modeling - Complex Objects with Primitive Shapes

Tutorial / 04 April 2021

By watching this video, you will learn how to break down complex models into simpler, easier to model objects. This is my go to workflow whenever I need to hard surface model complex objects and I will show you how I applied this workflow to the cyberpunk grenade I recently modeled. You will also know how to analyze reference and how to break them down into primitive shapes so they are easier to model.
