Highlights on notable techniques. 3:54 Retopology for better edge flow. Deliberately introducing tris and then quadrifying them creates corner edges, which redirect the flow towards the sides. 13:48 Local Sharpening. Using loop cuts and the established geometry to create a sharp corner on the surface detail, without letting the loops continue and increase polycount in unwanted areas further down the original loop. 17:45 Complex surface detail Surrounding geometry on an equal plane is required. First an inset is being used to isolate the detail from the surrounding geometry, then a few cuts establish the basic shape of the detail. This gets insetted twice over to create a sharp edge, while still being able to manipulate the cut shape. After establishing the hole, a triangle cut on the surrounding geometry is being used to create localized loops, which are being placed for corner sharpening. 21:03 Adding surface detail on top of preexisting details After establishing a basic shape, a quick inset + bevel + inset generates the detail. By chamfering the corners of the detail, including the final inset, generates vertexes which are then used to generate edge loops to sharpen the corners of the detail, without increasing surrounding density. A few quick cuts quadrify the resulting tris. 23:10 Localized Density. Quickly establishing a higher polycount in a selected area. First the selected areas polycount is increased. Then the resulting N-gons are being quadrified through select cuts, resulting in a bridge between the low-poly surrounding area and the high-poly area used for quick details. A quick Inset-Bevel-Extrude-Inset results in round hole details. Final step is edge sharpening through a quick connect.

Never get tired of watching this..... better than watching a movie! Awesome work Mario!

This dude is freakin amazing.....took a Maya modeling class at school and really didn't do much. I commend you and your amazing skills!

Man, you are a god of edge flow. I am already learning a lot from this.

this is great! so much better to see stuff created using basic topology rather than other so called 'experts' constantly using creases and modifiers etc.

As a Maya instructor, I want to say your videos are very well put together.

The way you deal with ngons is amazing!

I am in love with you because you also give us a rendering process which was missing in KZfaq thanks

Great work as always. I watched your mastering 3d modeling in maya course some months ago and helped me a lot with designing hard surface objects while maintaining clean topology.

watching u battle ngons and triangles @ 24:30 was very helpful, thankyou!

thanks so much for the awesome tutorials!!

I will ask for this course as my christmas present.

Man you're too gooood, i think i'd never be as pro as you

Awesome, congratulations!

a tutorial that fits my monitor. This is magic

This is the best free software Ive seen. Respect.

So enjoyable to watch.

it looks simple enough, but it very hard to make something like this. I love your videos , they are very usefull !!

To anyone who's looking to learn topology or wants to get better... or amazing at 3D modeling... Get that course! it's so worth it! I just can get enough of it... !!!

Pretty nice modelling dude!

I love your content its amazing.

i dont comment a lot, but this topology and how you tackle beveling edges, is smart

saving your course for later!!

I agree with Hugo Nelis , I started to understand the topology after I bought and started that course.

So cool!

Love this... going to try and recreate this in Blender.

Thank you! Cool!

I love the way you model! Where you looking on a reference image on other device while modelling?

i like your videos hard surface. Thanks

YOU ARE GOD OF HARD SURFACE

nice to see i'm not the only one modeling with the Division 2 ost

Really awesome video, could you share a video to create your maya color settings, it looks very comfortable

Hey Elementza, what kind of render engine/material do you use for your objects? It looks so clean

Hi~ Elementza, Thank you for sharing the high quality video. This is a Maya beginner in Industrial design field. :) I am just wondering how did you control the multiple edge lines as an aligned straight line. It seems quick mouse control or short cut function key... I really appreciate if you leave a comment. Thanks!

i want to know how to do texturing in Maya for hard surface modelling

great master~~！！

what image did you use in skydome and how did you make that gun metal material?

You're insane man...

hey!! working on ultrawaiyede is soo convenient right? it boosted by productivity by 2

When you deleted the faces, how did you mirror it back together?? 😩

amazing

How to change the color of multi cutting tools? I want to change to another color, please tell me, thank you!

Hi) what monitor you used ?

Is this poly modeling? can the techniques in the paid course be applied to video game asset creation for game engines such as unreal engine?

God mode !!!

Where did you get the music for this video? it is really good!

Division 2 soundtrack, nice

What was these for?

Maya Modeling ASMR !!!

That's good ass tutorial. This topology telling us you are master, this requires a lot of experience. I've got lot of things to learn from you.

Hey is there a reason you modeled most of the stuff in one piece instead of using multiple meshes or floaters? Is that because you are not going to use it in a game engine?

You should make a modeling Udemy. You model way better than what I've learned on from the top most reviewed Udemy instructor for Maya.

why do you keep "even distribution" on a subsurface model? If you're subding, doesn't the even edges just add extra density where it's not needed (like on flat/long surfaces?) I get that you need to have some relatively even distribution on some shapes, but if you're subding that's being achieved by the subsurface operation, is it not?

Hello. How do you flatten the vertices selection of edge loop without distort the geometry when doing that? (2:19)

very nice ;)

magic ))

Is there OpenSubDiv for Maya?

is doing topo becoming obsolete?

23:34 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Did you created this from your imagination or you drawed to somewhere and started modeling. I mean what is you general workflow for making kitbashes?

man can you make thanos armor and gauntlet.. great video💪👍

about the UI color customization. Where exactly is the option to change the loop mode of Multicut tool to be colored like that( whitewith blue dots) like its shown at around 2:15? I think Ive copied everyting identical with the screenshots provided on your website but mine still looks like default

I'm still new to 3d modeling. I just want to ask does it really need to be a single object when creating a hard surface assets or can it be comprised of multiple elements? really loved watching your videos i learned a lot from it.

Got the course, its fantastic - the tutor is really articulate and shows tips even to veterans of the software. Will there be any more content coming out for Maya modeling? Thanks!

Hello, is it possible to share your color settings? I love your colors in Maya :)

At 7:13, I noticed that when you combine the cylindrical shape to the rest of the build, you merged the verts but didn’t delete the faces of the cylinder that are now inside the model. Does that matter at all? How about for UV mapping? I’m asking specifically for something that may go in a film

A friend of mine uses blender and says creasing works so well he doesn't bother preparing the topology for smoothing with extra edges, I have to ask, is there a good argument against using crease technology? I know maya has crease

Hey Mario. From where do you get music from your videos? Any link to the author?

Can anyone tell me how he selects and quickly isolates what appears to be parts of the same mesh?

I'm really new to Maya . Would the course be to hard for me to understand?

pls. show hotkeys on screen, it's advance modeling already hard to figure out commands...

The Division 2 ♥

I am watching your tutorials since Cinema 4D and I want to ask something. How did you learn to model like this? I am also a modeler and as a group of some students we are trying to make a 3D game but I am not very good at hardsurface. And I am wondering if you can recommend me some resources.

Hi i wanted to buy your Maya course but on the page it list 59 € but when i am going to check out it comes out as 59,00 € .is there something wrong thanks

Hey Elementza, Would enrolling in your Maya masterclass still be beneficial for a 3Ds Max User ?

18:13 is that just the multi cut tool? what is that?

It's me Mario!

So uh.. what kind of PC do i need for something like this? :D I mean these kind of 'small' 3d works, not some big animated film

around 9:36,how do you do that scale without distorting the mesh?

Can you export this into blender or unreal engine?

Please share a play list of your music for modeling sessions :)

Can I know your CPU and GPU?

10:56

12:34

Now I can see there's no loop regularizer tool for Maya and that's BS...cos it's a game changer for sure.

MARIO --- I legitimately use the SAME Maya Configuration as you. No Joke seriously. What a Small World !!!! Say no to Maya Shelves

wait... why didn't I know there was a boolean tool in maya? I've been using a script this whole time :/

We want something in blender🥰🥰🥰🥰

comments stop at 2:48

If was 3dsmax it will be easy modeling

Comments stop at 2:50

I think you are way faster in c4d. From looking at this, you have consumed so much time...!

hard surface is easy when the shapes are simple like that, cubes, cylinders , etc, but when you are making a plane hard surface is sooo hard

Maya is a Sanskrit word meaning Virtual Reality or Virtual Simulator.....

в

i thought this was a tutorial video

Man.. Maya is still pretty rudimentary when it comes to modeling.. Great tut though!

ой, ну что же вы так...what for you hujarish so many polygons in places where they are not suppose to be? Не плохо, но поликов лишних много, очень

how do you made poly face select look smooth while you dont even have viewport smooth tool active on bar

Just use Blender !
