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.

Turn off two-sided lighting can help you to find surfaces that have their normals reversed. They will show up as flat black.

A little more progress.....the UV's are upshit and Im not going to do it all again...what I get is what I get. Lesson learned...when modelling take into account to clean lines in the model...wich will transfer to the UV (I think I already said this?).
