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.

Paint Effects tut resulted in...
about with it... rendered the background, and then used
it as an image plain,
and then continued with the forground.
I think it's 6/10 for the first attempt with the Paint effects
I hope there is an attachment...?

still experimenting...
but, I didn't remember the angles, strengths of the lights
etc... but still experimenting with the painteffects, when I have
time. I must admit that I hadn't found a use for them...
until I downloaded the Tutorial.
But, it can only get better: learning from my mistakes.
thanks for the input.

re: the tutorial...
so the image was "started" with it, ie: I had no idea
about the effects, or how to use them in conjunction.
so created some "Nurbs-plains" textured (trees),
displaced an image out of photoshop onto it,
then duplicated the terrain, and "scaled" the newer one
just to offset it, and place a new texture on it, (rock)
so that's the backgound.
rendered it as an image,
that's then used as an image plain on the camera
(just to save time on the overall rendering time)
couple more nurb-plains, textured them
and then "paint" on the grass etc...
converted them to polys
and render the final image.
the hardest bit is trying to get the lighting and shadows
corresponding to the background image...
still working on that, lots-a-trials.
