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.

Hey theres absolutely nothing wrong with putting your stuff out there man. Apart from missing shadows I can't really crit since you just started. Rome wasn't built in a day so stick with it. And for some reason this reminds me of Guild Wars where you had to rescue prisoners of the Charr lol.

It's a start! I bet everyone once been to this level...
About GecT's advice:
You can turn shadow casting on for you light in the material attribute and turning raytracing on in the render settings.

Try adding some bump mapping to your textures.

When in doubt, delete history and freeze transformations.
