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.

ok still getting the shape correct, i have sharpend a few edges, and begun the creases, i dont like using sub'ds so ive done it via polys. i think the size is about right now ive tested the cd case and other buttons and the scale is about right now me thinks.

Are you gonna do the core system or the $399 one cuz they do look different.

The uber expensive one has a chrome area where the core has the dark 360 strip, and the power button is a tad different.

hello guys been slow in progress, new job etc but i got stuff sorted so hopefully im back user added image
The renders are using a mental ray area light, the important thing about renders isnt so much the lights, its the materials u use, u have to play with the settings for each one, to get the right look, once finished ill try show u what i mean. user added image
anyways heres a bit of progress, took for ever to get this far cause the way the fronts curved made me not be able to use booleans, so gonna have to split poly everything user added image but its getting there.
