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.

Classic Bike

BSA Super Flash

Ok this is my first "project" in 3D. I still dont know what all the crap does on Maya so this may not go quite as planned, but I've got time on my hands at the moment so I can sort stuff out.

Started with the frame thinking if I get it perfectly to scale i'll know that everything else will fit.

Made the frame perfectly to scale from blueprints but looks dodgy.

Poly's but it all got rather f*cked up an I found myself in a mess.

I'll put it down to inexperience.

Well, I've been around bikes for a while and I'm yet to see a frame like that. You sure you're using blueprints? Can ya post a pic of them here?
