In today’s tutorial, we will show you how to create a high-res model of the “ADAM Syringe” from the popular video game “Bioshock”. We will be using Autodesk Maya, but as most of the techniques shown are universal, you shouldn’t have any trouble following along with another 3D software package. We will use common poly modeling techniques to build the Syringe’s base mesh, before adding subdivision to achieve the model’s final look. Tutorial Details * Software: Autodesk Maya * Difficulty: Beginner * Duration: 47 Steps Let’s get started!

This tutorial is not meant to be for beginners, it will be intermediate to advanced and we will focus on specific techniques, rather than focusing on tools. Although we will be explaining everything in Maya, the techniques are general and could be applied in any 3D package. We will pass through the modeling, shading, rendering stages, but we will be focusing mainly on the planning, animation stages of the process because there lies the trick.
