Picking up where Modeling an F1 Wheel in Maya left off, in this course Veejay Gahir walks through the steps required to surface a Formula 1 wheel in Alias. With assets from the previous course, you'll be able to complete the entire project, from setting up your Alias model and building high-quality surfaces for the different wheel components, to exporting data for use in rapid prototype physical models and rendering the final product.
