Category: Maya
March 09, 2023

Let's model a metal folding chair prop. Perfect for set dressing a cafeteria or a break room environment.

What you will learn in Let's Model #4:

  • How to use a bounding box to find dimensions of the prop
  • How to create a quick block out of the prop
  • How to extrude along a curve for curved geometry
  • How to mirror objects
  • How to export and import into UE5 for testing the scale of the prop

Block out along with the final. You can see how close to dimensions and size the blockout is to the final. This is why the block out is so important to the modeling process.
