Technical Tutorial

This is going to teach you how to make a pen in Maya. You will use multiple tools and different modeling types to make a pen out of nothing.

To start all you need to do is go to the curves and surfaces tab at the top left and select the EP curve tool and draw the basic outline of your pen. Make sure when you do this your starting and ending points line up and are on the Y-Axis. It should look something like this.

After you have done this click the revolve tool under the Curves/Surfaces tab. It should turn your line into a full pen now.And look something like this.

After this you need to texture it. Texture it however you like and make it look exactly how you want it. Then add details and other Odds and Ends to it and BAM you got a Pen.
