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.

Turbines? Giving the Crime Watch Robot jet power now?

Not sure how acurate you're shooting for, but he turbine blades should probalbly be rotated (similar to fan blades).

Dang. Well good luck on getting those grades up, you're doing very well and I think you stand a good chance of winning if you continue to put in this quality and detail. Good work, and good luck.

Get rid of history. I had the same issues in XSI history will bump up the size of your file and make it unworkable. Optimise (or Optimize for you Americans) will help clear it out. delete any un used curves, surfaces and polys too....

ah, i see you got a bit of 3d-time in. user added image

looks great now. One thing I'd say though is that the turbine hookups are way too weak to be able to handle the power those things will likely generate. Beef them up and add some mechanical linkage to transfer power to them and that should be helpful.

Good luck, man. I hope you get your grades up and get some time to work on this soon. It's really looking great.

[edit: I would probably enlarge the turbines a bit more, and change the colors on the wires- at least on the toes, just to give it more potential depth or something.]

I can't wait to see you animate this user added image
