Modeling Mini Cooper with NURBS

modeling_Nurbs_Car

This project is consisted on modeling Mini Cooper car with NURBS in Maya. In other words this is a mechanical modeling project. Maya has range of tools which can be used for industry standard mechanical modeling.

NURBS is a short form for Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines. NURBS modeling is stand on mathematics that is more complex than the mathematics for polygons. For the reason that NURBS modeling needs extra processing, this technique is usually utilize for applications that rendering is completed in advance, such as animation for movies or for animated films.

Throughout the project you will learn great techniques in very simple way for modeling a NURBS Car in Maya. We chose a Mini Car image references for this Modeling project. This is an old model car as you have seen one in Mr. Bean’s comedy films often. Throughout the project you will see a sequence of techniques and you won’t find any other 3d modeling feature like Polygons or Subdivisions except NRUBS Modeling.

You will model almost a complete car in different parts. From part first where you will set up image references to part 14 where you will model NURBS tire for Mini car, you will model different parts of car. Although we have covered almost all of the parts of the body of a Mini Cooper but there are still many parts like engine, staring, seats, door handles etc that are not covered in this project. We left them for Next project of a latest model car like BMW which you maybe find on this website.

Let's start Modeling NURBS Mini Cooper in Maya

Step 1 - Setting up Reference Images for Mini Cooper Modeling
First of all you need reference images of your car real model. If you don’t have your own reference,

Step - 2 Modeling NURBS Car Hood
This is the second part of our NURBS Car Modeling Project. In this part you will make a hood object for mini cooper.

Step 3 - Modeling NURBS Car Fenders
In this free video tutorial you will learn how to duplicate NURBS curves, scale, and how to move its CVs in Maya NURBS

Step 4 - Modeling NURBS Car Side Panels
In this text and image tutorial you will learn Modeling side panels of a vehicle in Maya’s NURBS feature. You will use and learn

Step 5 - Modeling NURBS Car Side Door
You will model doors, pillars, screens, and other parts of side panels with 2 dimensional CV curves and then you will make

Part 6 - Modeling NURBS Car Back Panel
In this text and image tutorial you will learn Modeling back panel of our NURBS Car Model. .....

Step 7 - Modeling NURBS Car Roof
At this step we modeled our NURBS car door and back panel. Now we will model roof of our 3d Mini Cooper model.

Step 8-A - Modeling NURBS Car Wind Screen
This part will explain how to model wind screen for our mini cooper car model. NURBS mechanical modeling is ........
