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.

Vector is a drummer and guitarist so i'll be watching you're equipment. The Kit is fine for bg use. But if you wanted a tad more:
()You might want some wingnuts on either end of each "rib" of the bass drum
()The cymbal has a ball-ish indent in the center, not like a point.(see pic)
()A small felt cilinder, and a washer on top of the cymbals is a nice touch.(see pic)

If you show me the guitar amp, i'll go off on that one too.

no prob, i figure you'd say that, i'd still adjust the cymbals though. Did ya revolve them? If you did, and still have the curve then it would be easy to insert a few knots and change the curves.

I love where this is going BTW.

Looks nice Vamp. But after I look at it for awhile, its got me wondering. Can 3 people (2 guitarists, and a singer) fit in that area? The area seems......squished. Maybe make it wider? Maybe its me, but do the speakers in the front look abit...wierd?

the stage does seem kinda small.... maybe just scaling it a bit to give them a bit more room to rock! :headbang: even if you just scale the bottom of the stage that mite work.

I think you really should add the legs to the kick drum. maybe that's just cause i've seen loads of drum sets when I was in bands. Just looks a little odd.

Looking good though. Are you gonna model "the band" as well?
