Hard Surfaces Modeling Tutorials

This Wednesday, October 23, we will present a new 3D design webinar in collaboration with Novedge, covering 3D modeling techniques for integrating meshes and Nurbs and creating parametric models in Rhino and Grasshopper.

A detailed Blender tutorial by Vaughan Ling from Heavypoly, showing the entire modeling and rendering process of the Braun HL70 fan, a product design icon from he .

A video by Ali Ismail from Ebal Studios that shows different techniques for creating hard surface models. Done in 3ds Max, but the general concepts can be applied to all polygonal 3D modeling software.

A video tutorial in three parts covering the entire creation process of a car wheel and tire, from the 3D modeling to the texturing and rendering. It was done using MODO, but includes general tips applicable to any 3D software.

A playlist that shows some of the modeling techniques offered by MODO for the 3D modeling workflow, specifically targeted to designers. Includes four episodes on basic tools, sculpting, applying decals and exporting (cover: bike concept by Harald Belker).

A video clip from a T-Splines webinar, where Sky Greenawalt and Kyle Houchens discuss approaches to 3D modeling using T-Splines in Rhino.

A very detailed tutorial on how to model a toaster in 3D Studio MAX. It spans 17 pages and covers many different modeing techniques.
