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.

Cheers dude, know about that tho,

What I want to do is batch reneder a series of files (which I know you can do vai a text file) it lets you render multiple scenes in a file (or multiple files) so you maximuse the usage of your PC when your in bed!!
