Build practical 3D interior modeling skills by creating realistic living and dining room furniture in Autodesk Maya. This hands-on course guides you through modeling essential interior elements, from a glass-top dining table and custom dining chairs to sofa sets, center tables, storage units, decorative lamps, and a balcony rocking chair. Designed for learners interested in interior design and 3D modeling, the course provides step-by-step instruction in polygonal modeling, extrusion, edge loops, mesh smoothing, duplication, object transformations, and scene organization. As you progress, you'll develop complete furniture models while learning techniques that improve mesh quality, maintain clean topology, and support efficient scene composition. The course is organized around practical modeling projects that gradually build your confidence and technical skills. You'll begin with a complete dining set, continue by creating the core elements of a living room, and finish by adding decorative details and integrating every asset into a cohesive living and dining space. By the end of the course, you'll be able to create detailed interior furniture models, organize complex scenes efficiently, and apply professional Autodesk Maya modeling techniques to produce realistic interior visualizations. Whether you're expanding your 3D modeling skills or exploring interior visualization, this course provides a structured, project-based learning experience focused on real-world interior modeling.

Syllabus

Designing the Dining Space

This module focuses on creating a realistic dining area using Autodesk Maya. Learners will model a glass-top dining table and custom dining chairs with smooth edges and proper proportions. The module emphasizes using references, shape manipulation, edge loops, and duplication techniques to construct a complete, functional dining set.

Creating the Living Room Core

This module guides learners through the foundational modeling of key living room elements using Autodesk Maya. From constructing detailed sofa sets to designing center tables and storage units, students will develop practical skills in polygonal modeling, object duplication, smoothing techniques, and efficient scene composition for realistic interior layouts.

Detailing and Decoration

This module focuses on enhancing the realism and completeness of the living room scene by adding decorative and functional elements. Learners will model detailed corner table lamps and a balcony rocking chair, refine structural components, and finalize the integration of these assets into the complete living and dining space. The emphasis is on precision, duplication techniques, mesh optimization, and scene organization for efficient rendering and layout.
