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.

A bit of an update:

I've MET my first goal and have dropped 90 lbs!

https://www.mtmckinley.net/photos/me_compare3.jpg

I'm glad that my crazy bullfrog neck is shrinking not to mention my waistline.

I went from a 44 waist to a 38! Went from a XXXL shirt to a XL Tall!

And I STILL have progress I want to make. My next goal is to lose 30 more lbs, mostly in my torso and what's left of my neck and chin. But pretty darn proud of myself, I must say. user added image I'm back to my highschool weight (although not exactly my highschool shape).

Good on you Mike - You're doing really well. It's tough, but it's good to get some exercise. I started up running again and have been trying to do some stretching as you can get really stiff sitting at a computer all day. It's not easy though.
