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.

looks like you're getting somewhere, which is good!

when you do the wireframe screen shots do wireframe on shaded (the menu is pointed out in GecT's last picture)
hit 5 or 6 to get one of the shaded modes and the wireframe will appear on the model and be shaded user added image




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

The chair seat is very deep, and the back seems a little bit too upright and rigid which will make for uncomfortable sitting. Another thing about the curvy parts on the chair back, it seems that you have incorrectly deleted some edge loops, as the deformations are there without edges and I'm assuming that geometry is polygonal. Are you using any references?

haha speech recognition is so awesome.

Darnellrbts, i hope i didn't sound insulting when i asked that user added image
i only asked because i wasn't sure if that was your actual wireframe or not, because the wires on the back frame don't seem to match the frame itself
i'm guessing that you've deleted some edge loops but not their verticies

i have to agree with GecT on the depth of the seat too, maybe bring in the front of it in more or raise the back of the chair so that they look more proportional

Gect, do. you. sound. like. a. robot. after. using. speech. recognition. ? user added image
