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 like it! Good car, and a really good model. By the way, I have a question. Could you tell me, how could I cut a shape in the middle of a polygon...? I guess, it's a really noob thing, but I couldn't find it out till now. all I can do, is just deleting the faces, but there must be a simplier way, i think...


Yeah, I know, don't mention it.
My english sucks.

Cool model, I like the amount of detail :tup:

0k0ska, check out the thread in the newbie forum called "Making a Hole", that should get you started...

thanks blomkaal...!!!!


@0k0ska

Some basics:

(A) booleans <Polygons --> booleans>

1. Polygon cube (this is your model)

2. You have to Modal a "negative" with the right shape

3a. move the "negative" into your model (as far as you like to)
3b. Select your Model and than "shift-select" the negative

4a. Choose: <Polygons --> booleans --> Different>

(B) extrude face <Edit Polygons --> extrude face>

1. Polygon Cube (your Model)

2a. Press: <F11> and select a face
2b. Choose: <Edit Polygons --> extrude face>

3. Use the "extrude face - scale tool" (the little colored
boxes) to scale it down

4a. Choose: <Edit Polygons --> extrude face>
4b. Use the "extrude face - move tool" (the little colored
arrows) to move the face, you also can scale it down a little


Play around - you will see this is a powerful method
