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.

Refining poly objects
when trying to refine a poly object which has both sharp angles and smooth flowing areas - what process do you use.
As you can see in the picture I lose a lot of the definition when smoothing the mesh. Should I bevel the hard edges, subdivide all the faces?
I am never sure what is the best method - if any for this.
cheers
Rich
