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.

it's not me but I know a few people in this industry that look a little like that user added image

The HDRI stuff is all very simple stuff, it's a really bad idea to do what I'm doing (lighting the thing when it's on a black background). I need to get it into an environment of some description to really finish it off.

Hey Pure

Sweet model. Its a cool design too that youve chosen, Feng has some great stuff on his site.

One thing I was a little dismayed at your use of 'how slapdash your work is'. Come now, a TD, slapdash? Surely not.

Hey man I love this Feng piece. You did an excellent job bringing it to life.

I'm also modeling a Feng Zhu concept at the moment and was hoping you could share any advice to help me get it to a higher quality of render like yours ( I do intend to texture it but im struggling with render set up and shader setup right now).

Id be stoked to give this feng concept as much justice as you did with yours.
