My first posted work "Racer Pod (speeder)"

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.

edit the texture in photoshop(if ya have it) convert to grayscale, then you make the whole pod white except for the dirt part, make that black, it should make the dirt dull, i suggest making the texture on a phong or blinn, map it in the specular color option, hope that helped
