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.

Nice Renders, but the car park ground is reflective, as is the decking by the pool and the table. It doesnt look right from those points of view. I know the wooden decking is next to the pool but its over done in the reflections, perhaps do a separate pass and mask it out to make it look like small wet areas. The chrome on the bars is to reflective and clean as well.

nice job overall though

very good, aside from what was already mentioned. I love these renders. Good modeling and texturing! My favorite shot is of the laptop with laptop screen showing maya. Keep up the good work. Plus I'm jealous, haha

Yeah, it is too reflective. It shouldn't be reflective at all.

I really like your scene and stuff though! You should model a shark or something just as a fun pic of something to be swiming in the water. it'd be funny! KUTGW

Expect to excell...

great job ^^

but one thing i 'd like to say about textures are "over new"

everything likes brand new...u know that 's impossible in the real world...

and also, ground reflection is too strong seems...
