HOT WHEELS SERIES: PART 1. NURBS TO POLY PRODUCTION MODELLING (5 Day, Intermediate/Advanced)

About Course

Course Details

Course Schedule

In this course, you’ll learn to create a production-ready car model from scratch with NURBS and turn it into a polygon model for games and films, following the same studio workflows used in automotive design and VFX visualization.
This course is designed for intermediate to advanced 3D artists, product visualizers, and aspiring VFX professionals who want to master the art of hard-surface modeling and translate design accuracy into cinematic storytelling. You’ll not only learn the technical steps but understand the logic behind each.
By the end, you’ll have a high-end automotive render ready for your professional reel or commercial showcase – a piece that reflects both craftsmanship and production-level quality.

Day 1 – Kickoff
Quote: “Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.” —Albert Einstein Humorous note: …especially when Houdini crashes and imagination is literally all you have left. Welcome to the course.

Day 1 – Kickoff

Day 2 – Creativity Boost
Quote: “Creativity is intelligence having fun.” —Albert Einstein Humorous note: If your simulation explodes today… that’s just your intelligence partying.

Day 3 – Technical Motivation
Quote: “If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito.” — Dalai Lama Humorous note: Small parameter changes can break your scene completely. Power lives in tiny values.

Day 4 – FX Spirit
Quote: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.” — Nelson Mandela Humorous note: Like that render that says “2 hours remaining”… for 19 hours. Keep going — you’re close.

Day 5 – Farewell Day
Quote: “The only way to do great work is to love what you do.” — Steve Jobs Humorous note: If you love CGI and VFX, you’re officially doomed (in the best way). Keep creating magic!
