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.

Yer faces and keeping the polys low can be tricky, but a few years back I took aload of free models and cleaded them up (most free ones are tri's). It really helps u learn how to solve quads problems at low levels. If you have the time I think its worth it. Then once you have a goodclean model, u can then play about with the edge loops and what u can take out without compermizing the shape.
