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.

take a blinn, lower the diffuse a bit, ramp the spec rolloff up to about 0.9 and move the spec colour up to white. Turn off the translucency stuff and then make sure you have something to reflect in it (e.g and environment ball) and then render. The thing with metal is it's the reflections that sell it so they have to be good.
