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.

Cool. I think the shadows can be softened and the staircase could use some detail or bump mapping.

Nice job though.

wow awesome scene!:attn: Only thing that I would suggest doin if you had time to edit it a lil is the girls' forearms, they are really flat and to me stick out in the scene as everything else has nice curvature, even the texture and stairs, and then her forearms are so straight. Other than that don't see much anything else, good job!

Try adding some color to your lights, with maybe a 3-point setup with some slight ambient.

Where is the light coming from? Window?

I think your scene might be a bit too bright now. I liked the darkness before, but missed seeing a bit of the details of the background, and maybe a rim light or so...

I'll agree with the Mountain, but I'm loving it.

Lower the ambient light brightness, that should help. Also, I think the window image needs some improvement (I'm guessing it is supposed to represent outside-the sky or something).
