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.

what to set up so that modeling affects both sides?

what do you have to set up in order to have your model mirrored and updated in real time? you knbow, when you edit one side it automatically updates the other.

im tired of modeling only half and having to clean up when i duplicate over.

In Maya 8.5 and 8 (I think) theres a mirror move, rotate, scale option that you can use.
