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.

Hello everyone.

I am extremely new to Maya, I had a fiddle with it yesterday. I have been following the tutorial in the manual about rigging and character set up. I don't know where I am going wrong as I I am not able to add joints. I cannot see anything happening. Have I gone mad already? Ha Ha.

Heres hoping someone can push me in the right direction. Thank you in advance.

Can you post a screenshot? What are you doing to try to add joints?
