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.

Edge loops and Character topology?

Can someone explain what is meant by 'edge loops' and could someone give me examples of correct character topology mesh lines preferably front/side/perspective if possible. I feel my modelling skills are progressing quite well though I notice the 'flow' lines do not look neat and correct, and I would like to correct this now before I move on to learning rigging/animation/texturing etc.

Thanks all.
