This course will look at the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. We'll look at what makes a good model in Maya and why objects are modeled in the way they are.

Nice start dude. Maybe you could add some more depth of field to it?

There's a separate section for that in the camera attributes.

That's the goal. In the camera attribute editor you have:

Focus Distance - controls the distance where the objects will show up sharp.
F Stop - Behaves like an iris of a real camera. Small number means large iris and thus narrower focus area (making the objects outside the focus distance more blurred).
Focus Region Scale - not sure about this one, but i think it's for fine tuning the focus area.
