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.

Hey, I used images from ebay...and then I traced them using the neon option under paint effects. They turn out pretty killer, I attached a picture of my bar scene for you to see how they turn out. G'luck! user added image
