Course Overview
Hard Surface Modeling
This course covers alternative modeling techniques that can be used for constructing hard surface objects and environment assets. Students will gain primary knowledge to both new and traditional modeling tools found within Maya 2018 to produce virtually any 3D objects imagined. This course is for the "advanced beginner" a very basic understanding of Maya's modeling menu is required.

This course help me with the NURBS part and I like the Instructor the way he explain the course. I think they should make a course on NURBS with some one that can explain it as just as clear as this Instructor does.

This was an AWESOME Tutorial. I learned a lot about the tools that will speed up my modeling process and simplify difficult objects to model. I hope to see future tutorials from this artist.
