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.

Mental ray render issues (Vue)
This is my first attempt at a using Maya along with Vue. After importing my model and new sky scene back into Maya, i'm having problems with rendering. Firstly despite smooth geometry in viewport, the render still comes out with sharp edges. Had a search around google before coming here and learnt about mental ray's hatred of all things that aren't quads. (Vue lovingly sliced all my polys in half!) I stuck a 'quadrangulate' over some of the model with varying amounts of success. I even went in and removed all tris by hand (Section under cockpit), but edges still remain sharp. Have also tried the smooth tool but with no luck.

Secondy, i'm trying to apply a Blinn shader to the whole thing. Again, in viewport it's visible but during render it remains and a lambert.
Still relatively new to Maya, so could potentially be an oversight on my part...
Cheers

Just my 2 cents, though I'm just going by what I can see in the pictures

Turns out subdivisions needed to be made before taking it into Vue. Makes sense now that I think about it!
