What you'll learn

In this tutorial we will learn how to create various props using Maya for modeling and UVs. Photoshop will be used for texturing, and creative plugins like Ndo2 and Ddo will be used for normal mapping and adding extra detail to our model. We will finish our presentation and testing phase by running the models through the engine and renderer called Marmoset Toolbag. By the end of this tutorial you should have a greater understanding of good practical workflows for creating props. Software required: Maya 2012 , Photoshop CS6 , nDo2, dDo, Marmoset Toolbag, ZBrush4R4.
