Courses
-
Master the art of interior modeling by creating realistic kitchen and bathroom spaces in Autodesk Maya. This course walks you through essential techniques for building structural elements like cabinets, platforms, and appliances, as well as detailed sanitary fixtures such as sinks, faucets, showers, and water closets. You’ll use polygonal modeling, extrusion, and curve-based workflows to bring each component to life with precision. Beyond modeling, the course emphasizes practical scene organization and detailing, including grouping assets, managing object hierarchies, and modifying architectural elements like windows for visual privacy. By the end, you’ll have a fully modeled, cleanly organized, and render-ready kitchen and bathroom interior suitable for visualization or portfolio use.
-
Master the art of bedroom interior design in 3D using Autodesk Maya. This hands-on course walks you through modeling a complete bedroom environment—from layout planning to creating detailed furniture and realistic fabric elements. Learn essential techniques like polygon modeling, extrusion, vertex manipulation, and nCloth simulation. By the end of the course, you’ll build a fully furnished, render-ready bedroom scene with professional detailing, ideal for portfolios, animation, or visualization projects.
-
Unlock the art and science of professional 3D lighting and rendering with this in-depth course on Autodesk Maya using the Mental Ray rendering engine. Designed for aspiring visual artists, architectural visualizers, and intermediate Maya users, this course guides learners through the entire rendering pipeline—from lighting fundamentals to advanced realism-enhancing techniques. Through two progressive modules, learners begin by mastering basic lighting types, understanding light behavior, and configuring the Mental Ray renderer for accurate illumination. The journey continues into advanced workflows, where students apply occlusion shading for depth, refine background reflections, and optimize final render settings for studio-quality outputs. Each lesson builds practical expertise with clear demonstrations and structured exercises. By the end of the course, learners will be equipped to produce visually compelling and technically sound 3D renders for architectural and design visualizations.
-
This course provides a hands-on journey into interior modeling using Autodesk Maya, focusing on creating realistic and functional living and dining room environments. Learners will start by designing a custom dining set, move on to building sofa sets and center tables, and complete the space with detailed decor like lamps and a balcony rocking chair. Through guided lessons, students will master polygonal modeling, extrusion, mesh smoothing, duplication, and scene organization techniques—equipping them with practical 3D skills for professional interior visualization.
-
This comprehensive course guides learners through the entire process of creating detailed 3D architectural models using Autodesk Maya. Starting with the fundamentals of importing 2D floor plans and building accurate wall structures, learners will master essential polygon modeling techniques including vertex alignment, edge loops, and face extrusion. The course progresses to crafting detailed architectural elements such as window and door frames, balconies, kitchens, and common areas, focusing on both structural accuracy and aesthetic quality. Finally, learners will refine their models by adding realistic fixtures—wooden frames, sliding doors, window grills—enhancing functionality and visual appeal. Designed for aspiring architectural visualizers and 3D modelers, this course equips you with practical skills to translate floor plans into fully realized, detailed 3D apartment layouts ready for rendering and presentation.
-
This hands-on course dives into the core techniques of shading, texturing, and spatial layout design within Autodesk Maya for architectural visualization. Learners will explore practical workflows for applying realistic materials to a wide range of interior assets, including furniture, walls, doors, and appliances. The course systematically builds from organizing scene layers and assigning shaders, to texturing complex objects like sofas, kitchen sets, and bathroom fixtures, and finally to constructing room-specific floor layouts. Through guided exercises, students gain essential skills in UV mapping, shader management, and modular design, equipping them to deliver photorealistic interiors in professional visualization projects.
