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 jsprogg.
I am very new to UVs and texturing so wish me luck.

The wings are now attached to the body and I've also created some skin details and grooves.

God UVs take a long time!
I still have some UV tweaking before I start to paint the textures.

I can't render with Mental Ray because Maya keeps complaining about 5 sided polys. Is there an easy way of finding that little 5 sided git?

Layed down some basic colour and a bit of bump too.
I also added a transparent map too.

Loads of detail to play with but I think I'm doing ok.
