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.

Maya sometimes has these funny bugs. Try reapplying the default lambert1 shader. Or you might have to retry the operation or even rebuild that area.

The blinn will be fine. If you reapply the lambert1 after the blinn, does it disappear again, or is it fine.
