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.

Audi A4 Cabriolet

Started work on an Audi A4 for a secret project... Only spent like an hour and a half on it and haven;t slept in recent geological time.

Whatcha think?

Yeh I know, I'll try to get a wire up when I get a little more done though, haven't slept in a few days though, so I fear that if I open Maya now I'll break it user added image

Thanks d00d

EDIT: Decided to give it a whirl and managed to not screw it all up, so here's the wire user added image

Oh also, anyone happen to know anything about the poly crease tool? I have to keep this smooth as hell and preferably under 120k tris... And I've seen a ton of models on here (that recent Enzo for example) which seem to do so with ease... I'm guessing with the crease tool? But I keep getting weird results user added image

Sleep is for the weal mate user added image

I was just messing around trying to recreate younglion's clay colour, didn't go too well haha. And the secret project I'm working on requires about 498592837 cars, so there's a ton more to come

No idea about young's setup, but I know his way of rendering (even clays) is too much work for me...

I may have exaggerated a teeeeeeny bit on that number user added image But you get the idea.
