For all the Maya users out there interested in a comprehensive urban environment tutorial, there's nothing I could recommend more than Digital Tutor's Urban Environment Creation in Maya instructional DVD.
The tutorial DVD covers an entire, thorough and from scratch production workflow to creating urban environments and time-saving modeling, texturing and UV mapping techniques that can be used for film, games and architectural visualizations of building structures. It contains over 6 hours of project-based training and is great for intermediate artists or even people still finding their feet with Maya and 3D urban modelling. Some of the areas it covers include:
- Hard Surface Modeling Techniques
- Modeling with Texture
- Modeling to a Camera
- Strategically Adding Detail
- Simulating Aging and Decay
- UV Layout Techniques
- Using UV Snapshots
- Integrating Maya and Photoshop
