Digital Tutors - Building a Toy Plane for 3D Printing in Maya and Mudbox

In this Maya and Mudbox tutorial, we?ll learn how to create a mesh that will be ready for 3D printing.

We?ll use a deceptively simple exercise and create an assemble-able model of a 1930s GeeBee Racer. We?ll start by creating pieces that fit into slots in the individual pieces of the model. Then we?ll animate those pieces to assemble over a 15-second animation. Along the way, we?ll delve into some tools and concepts in Maya such as the Multi-Cut tool, Target Weld and the Shrinkwrap command.

By the end of this Maya and Mudbox training, you?ll have a prepared model ready to print on the Form +1 printer using their PreForm software
