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.

I use layers and hide them so I don't have all geometry visible all the time, but there's no lag if all's visible at this time either.

Bought a new computer las week:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
4 GB RAM
GeForce 8800GTS 320MB

Hi there DJbLAZER,

Looking really incredible!

Thanks Perfecto,

just did my funky plant for the vase. The material could probably use some SSS, don't know if I'll bother though since it wont show unless the camera is really close.

Looks really good. I'm still laughing at that foam finger there.
Btw, have you ever tried to render a movie in Maxwell?

No... haven't tried it yet. But the scene and materials has to be really simple in that case. They you could get something like 5-10 mins per frame in decent quality 640x480. Might give a simple scene a shot in a couple of days.

I'm just asking 'cause I know single scenes can take a long while. I don't know how long a short movie would take.
