How to make a Goblet in Maya  

By Alan Seidl

1. Open Maya and hit 'space' to go into side view. 

2. Go to the Curves/ Surfaces tap. 

3. Choice the button that is displayed on the left.  'curve tool' to start creating your goblet.


4. Create your first point at the origin then make a straight line to the right as shown below.

5. Create a U-curve so the line is heading back to the Y-axis.

6. Make points going back to the Y-axis until you've come to a point that you feel is the right thickness for the stem/handle. Then make points going up and out so the top is rounded out like that of a cup.

7.The example below is what your goblet should look like, but keep in mind it depends on your taste so yours could look different but the basic shape should look the same.


















7. Once you have a Goblet shape that you like. Deselect your line then reselect your line and press the button displayed on the left 'revolve' to create your goblet.


8. It should look something like this.
