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.

Man this looks amazing. How did you do the shoe laces?
And how do you get your model smooth with so little geometry and so much details? I model with wayyyy too much geometry, but I'm not sure how to overcome that.

Uv'ing this is gonna be a big pain. haha

yea. you have a point. the front of the boot are slightly over sized. ill fix that later on.

as for the details, i guess i should say its all about curve flow, or edge flow in this case. thats all.

Hey Vlad

Neat Stuff. I agree about the end of the shoes though.

As for uvs, I have a particular liking for them as well. Its where the final magic begins, to start bringing models to life

Cheers
Jay
