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.

It's my second car model, the interior is not finished, neither the engine.
As you can see Headlights an Tailights are missing.

Any suggestions for rendering??

Wow, great car model so far chem! It is just simply amazing! I can't wait to see it when it gets done! user added image

I hope to one day do a car model myself! user added image

I still need to finish my self-portrait head for my class first though, and then maybe during the summer I can model some more in my free time!

Nice. Is that the shader from the Maya Rendering book? Cos thats a good car shader!!!

As for rendering, Mental Ray? Final Gather? GI? or just a good 3 light set up? They are all good, just whatever you prefer really.

Myself, I'd go for a 3 light on this cos you could get some nice backlight on the car and really show off the lines with a good hilite come off that paint job
