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.

well there's the exclamation mark, the quote "it's just a box", but i'm not sure if i see the other?
surely not the hole in the box is it?
can't really make out what those little icons are on the side are though




that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"

Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D

If the box is the right way up, on the bottom it says 'Property of the LA LE LU LI LO' (its small, impossible to read at that res)

your modeling gets better every time I see your work, it's always elephants but that's alright, soon enough you're going to be making photorealistic elephants. keep up the good work... I should rework my camel I did over a year ago then our animals could chase eachother.
