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.

Smooth feature behaviour

Why if you smooth a selection of faces, this action affects the vertex normal of other faces?
e.g. With a polygon cube if you smooth the upper face, you'll notice the vertex normals of the bottom face affected

As far back as I can remember smoothing any faces of an object will smooth the normals of the entire object.
