Modeling tutorial in Maya - a tire tread - Part 4: the side and UV layout

In this tutorial I show how you can model a high polygon tire tread in Maya... it's 5 videos goin' from poly modeling over a simple UV layout and finally taking a bump map to put it on the tire.

Any comments or critiques are very welcome!

If you have any problems just contact me and I try to help you out :-)

cheers

@razorblade42069 what happens if you select a face, then select another face along the line you wish to select your faces then double click on the 3rd polygon in the line, it should work..

How did you select all the faces "loop" along the side of the tire? When I double clicked one face, it selected the whole tire, not the row of faces along the tires side.

I just would like to say Thanks so much! This will help me a lot when modeling cars. Please continue to do more detailed tutorials. If you know how to use effects in Maya particularly hair, please make one.
