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.

Looking really good for a pile of primitives... I'm joking user added image

I see your making the most of the Occlusion preset user added image

Anyway, Jokes aside.... I like the way all the pipes are laid out, and how you've modeled all the braces. Nice work!

What scene is this from.... i don't seem to remember it, though there was allot of scenes just like.... just wondering.

I look forward to seeing it textured.

looks pretty much faultless so far,
are the steps in the game perfect right angles though?
maybe rough em up unless this is how they are user added image

cheers magicsy ... also about the steps, there actually perfect right angles. Im suprised because usually they slant them abit.

Heres a small update, should have this all rapped up in a couple days.

(removed/shortend couple of walls so seeable)

Wow, this is really coming together quite nicely!

It's hard to see allot of the details with these renders.
Though from what i can see, it's looking great.

I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

Any plans for texturing?

Did this scene have some goo at the bottom or was it another scene I remember from the game?
