Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

My first Maya project

Hey all. This is my first maya project Ive done. Just finished a class and also learned by searching forums and reading thru books. Alot of you guys have been very helpful! This was modeled after a wind-up toy (its about 99% accurate as I did it all by eye) using Maya 8.5. Any suggestions on what to change to make a better render would be great! It was rendered out using the Maya Software. Thanks!

btw, the floor and wall textures were just grabbed from google images so not much effort was put into those, I plan on fixing those up.

Hi mobkon!

Nice job for it being your first model. Text, geometry, lighting, texturing, and rendering. For a first project, I think you did really good plus it gave you some experience in several different areas of Maya.


Don't be satisfied with what you can do but rather strive to do the things you can't do!
Exceed Expectations!
