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'm not that familiar with London streets, but that brickwork pattern on the road seems a bit strange... is that how it was done in those days?

I was wondering about that myself... I looked up some intersections.. https://www.shutterstock.com/pic-17389.html

But i've also seen a straight road into a curve, and they just kind of use a straight line to intersect them.

That's a lot'a bricks.

hey dae,

i really like the lighting in your scene... especially the glow on the lights.

with the coblestone road... i take it that's the look you're goin for... its probably easier to do it with textures, and bump mapping rather than modelling.

just create one plane and image map it onto that.

easy peasy

Thanks, I thought about that, I have even tought about normal mapping them, I just feel the light catches them better this way.

I will try another pattern the the bricks later on.
