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.

little bit more work done on the engine here, but still alot of work to go. I need a picture of a motorcycle transmission. I am not really going by any pictures, I am just making things up as I go.

Thats coming on nice, its the best way to go- just make it up as you go along......such is the nature of customisation, i'm doing the same thing with a car, its like virtual sculpture.

I also have thought of making a hardtail too but just aint got round to it yet or maybe a superbike, love that fat bob and yokes btw, the cylinder heads are looking nice too, hope ya got lots o ram though cos its looking heavy on the poly count.

Can't wait to see the finished article user added image

Hey every one just thought I would post my progress for tonight, Thanks for the comment Shader, I am not very good at this maya thing yet, and I think this is my first more realistic looking model. as far as the poly count goes, I am sure that it has alot of polys. I am not to worried about it though, I am building this stuff on a brand new Toshiba Satellite with a duel 3.5 HP proccessor and 2 gigs of ram so I think I will be okay for a little while, but I am trying to push this thing to see just how far I can get with it before it starts to give problems, so far so good. any ways here you go.

Thanks for the comments!!!
