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.

you need to download and install Maya bonus tools from autodesk then load the 3dsImport.mll in the plugin manager.

turbo if you load the 3dsImport.mll then 3ds also becomes available as an export option too.
