This course will look at the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. We'll look at what makes a good model in Maya and why objects are modeled in the way they are.

when i add a spot light nothing had happend too.
and now i noticed that message- 102002: type rgba_h not supported by iff format, using default type rgba.
by the way, when i assignd the material to the object(the glass preset), the object became wireframed, without an option to change it unless ill brake the connection.

2) Once again, the surface is 100% transparent so you can't see the surface. If you deselect it, it will become completely invisible. If you want to see the object while rendering it transparently, you can choose shading > use default material, which will assign the lambert1 just for the viewport.

Gregori, as Stwert said, you don't have an environment for the glass to refract or reflect. All you're going to see is the "fake" reflection of the light source and the empty void that is Maya's background. Try putting the object inside a poly cube to simulate a room, maybe have it sit on a plane with a checkered texture, I think that would be a start and you'll actually see your glass object when you render.
The warning:
"type rgba_h not supported by iff format, using default type rgba."
means that you're rendering out a 16bit image and the iff file format can't handle it so Maya is automatically making the switch to a compatible bit depth. Either change the image format(EXR,tiff) or go into the "Framebuffer" section of the Quality tab and change the data type to something like RGBA(Byte)4x8bit, a pretty common bit depth for most images we see. I don't know why Autodesk changed one setting and not the other.
