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.

this cant be acheived with the maya renderer.

u need to use mental ray shader. search for CTRL_light shader on cgtalk. with uses object as actual light source. [i dont mean thet ambient using final gather, i mean using the "phisycal object" as a light "bulb" so to speak]
