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.

tricky extrusion, advice really needed
I'm modeling what I now realise is a bugger of a cast shape and modeling isnt my strong point - I've been advised to start with a cylinder then extrude out at the sides, but it's not so simple, as you can see below. I tried cutting across the faces to make the shape i need to extrude out, but this has left me with triangles, and I'm not sure this is the right way to go about this - any ideas or tips would be so appreciated, the more I look at the model the trickier it gets,
thanks
Nicky
