This course will look at the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. We'll look at what makes a good model in Maya and why objects are modeled in the way they are.

honestly i dont think smooth preview is worth the upgrade

you could always try the free aps such as blender and bring your models into maya for rendering

anyway work as been a killa so started on this yesterday

That render is fantastic, love the color...i notice that the reflections dont match after the door panel gap, my tip would be on the low res mesh try making it where the change in direction of the mesh doesnt line up with the panel gap, this will carry the reflection across the gap better
