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.

What do you mean by bind, i mean you used smooth bind already because if so you must bevel it before you bind it or else its gonna be unclean, just try it first on another file and if it worked then that's cool but if not I'm gonna try to find a way for you to fix it. user added image

wow looking so good. really don't change much. maybe detail more if you want but the fire and coloring of every thing really gose together !!!

oh one little thing the green grass on the hill in the back is rather out of harminy with the rest.. try like a brownish yello with some black patches. like a wheat field. just my opinion..

Like the new angle very much, but perhaps he needs to be bigger or closer to the camera? Looking really cool though.

Thanks for the suggestion Witchy! I'll make it so that he's closer and see how it looks!

Also I put my Wing Gundam in Bird mode up in the sky in the back (not in the last pic). But let me know if that is okay to do... also I don't know if that makes it seem like he didn't do as much damage cause I also want to put Heavyarms in the back some where, they kinda do that a couple of times in the series where they are all fighting together. But let me know what you guys think cause I can always add them later for a pic. after the comp.
Anyways later mates!
