Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.
This month you can win a hardback copy of "The Ballad of Rango". Looks like an excellent book to me, the movie was great :)
