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.

Very nice. I don't know if it's the lighting, but it looks like the textures could use a little more punch.

Very nice though.

Thanks for the comments!

Yes I do believe the textures need abit more kick! Although I think in the animation its a combination of the lighting and the textures being dull. A

Also I do have a bump map with rivets ( not so much with different panels) I guess I need to make the bump map more ...bumpy so that it sticks out more.

instead of a bump map use a normal map...or if your renderer is up to it a displacement

have fun

Fantastic work!

Sorry to wake this thread, but I'd love to learn how you did the UVs.

I'm working on a similar project and matching the UVs with the panel work and rivets turned out to be more difficult than I expected. (actually I'm doing that in Max, but the theory part is no different)
