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.

lets say you won the lottery... what woud you do?

les say im talking about the euromillions...
thats 15million€
5M€ go to the state (lil taxes, huh?...)
6M€ go to investmens so you can lead an "interesting lifestyle" the rest of your life...
1M€ to houses, cars, electronics and stuff...
1M€ so that it also sprinkles family and known ppl

now what, travels?, make your own enterprise? help alleviate world hunger?
i mean... what do ppl like bill gates that isnt absolutely pointless and megalomaniac? shouldnt there be a limit to the wealth that one person can own while theres still one peson that starves to death?. what is more important, freedom or justice?

oh, how i want to win the lottery....

maybe(with a hundred other features) in theory, but definitely not what happened in practice... and that was a highly centraliced planned economy
let say that from a "positive" point of view i would be more on the side of a market model with an autoregulator(law) that automatically kicks in when theres cases of extreme wealth concentration... u know, bettering the gini index of wealth distribution...
i know, it cant be, but the current neoclasical market model isnt working as promised by Adam Smith, or as it should (enhancing global well-being automatically ) either...
