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

Description : 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.

We’ll use a deceptively simple exercise and create a assembled 1930s model Geebee racer airplane. We’ll start by creating parts that fit into slots in individual parts of the model. Then we will animate these pieces to assemble during the 15th second animation. Along the way, we’ll look at some of the tools and concepts in Maya, such as the Multi-Cut Tool, Target Seam, and Custom Command.
By the end of this Maya and mudbox training, you will have a prepared model ready to print on a blank +1 printer using your blank software.
