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.

Thanks guys,

Steve, yep it is an external drive, did a quick render of it alone. In the scene it's hidden behind one of my Pc's and a chest of drawers so it'll probably never get seen again. lol

the scaling of the skateboard looks like it could use some work, either that or the big knobs on that one dresser, unless that's just how it is, other than that it's great manuser added image

Cheers Acid,

The skateboard was a little too wide at first, have since scaled it in a bit, the knobs on the dresser are pretty big so that may be making it look a little off too I guess.

Have been doing one of the more fun looking objects in my room, a model of R2D2, got the basics done to his body and head, just need to add the legs and finish off any little details now. He'll probably be quite small in the final image so not going over the top with the details.

Looks good. If the top flipped open he would make a nice trash dispenser. user added image

Haha. that's a cool mail box! Yeah, haven't done those blue bits yet, was thinking I may do that in the texturing stage. My model isn't really a proper replica, it's actually a shampoo bottle!

I'm kind of going for somewhere inbetween that and a replica, if I did it the way it actually looks it's be to crappy plastic looking, and I also don't want to go full realistic either, as it's only one small object amongst a ton of crap on my desk...lol

Cheers for the comments Zombi, and the brilliant image, going to save that one....
