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.

starting over is a good idea sometimes.. but its best to make sure what’s going on first, that way the problem doesn’t come up agin.

So sorry Could an ADMIN please move this thread over to my WIP "Noob tries to make car" thread please? I wondered where it had disappeared to.. ?
Thanks mrmacca and Pony - I still don't know the 'basics' due to learning online, but have learned so much since joining SMaya and thought it was about time I tried modelling something using an Image Plane...
So is there a basic rule or anything when say splitting or extruding, so that I don't get into this mess?
One thing I have noticed on this project, when splitting poly's at the front - I went up a couple of 'squares' splitting Ok - but then the next 'square' i had to split the opposite side before I split the adjacent (To my previous splits) edge. ??
Seems to me like I'm maybe doing something very BASIC wrong here? I'm wondering if there is a Rule of thumb sorta thing to stop me messing up.
Cheers for help - keep it coming in bucketloads please.
I reckon I need it at the moment, i'm just sorta guessing here.

I keep thinking... I must have done something different with those faces/edges etc that split differently - but I don't know what I'm doing wrong.???

). If that doesn't work try working with the split poly tool from the inside out, so from the inside of the care. I don't have any other idea :\.

Cheers dirak - That will be ok because all the inside faces have to be deleted anyway, so I will have a go at that after getting rid of all those other faces.
Thanks a lot guy's Scraggy
