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.

NOT LOOKING REALISTIC

I have made some interior/exterior models in which some are textured and some lighted(not MR) also.But they do not appear realistic. I have seen some demoreels they are absolutely realistic. I can show you my models in which one is::-

Do these type of models serve the purpose.
Although I have rectified it.

I can also try mudbox,organic,car etc also.

Hi There,

the model looks fine to be honest. You might want to have a look into rendering with either mental Ray, Maxwell or V ray if you want to make the object realisitc as these render engines offer very good options for raytracing, global illumination, FG, IBL etc.

If you have not rendered before and are now then I would have a look a the Maya software renderer, its simple and will get you going before going into a more complex render software.

Actually, I think it'd be nice to even put in a game hehe. I like the textures (texturing is the thing I don't know how to do yet user added image) . But if you're not aiming for as low poly count as possible, then make some bevels, really makes stuff look more realistic. And ofc mental ray/vray etc. you should really use those.

I think the biggest contribution you can use to make it more realistic is a spec/reflection map, it breaks up the even flattness of a texture and actully makes it look like its had use in it life.
