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've started to model this device. It may be a little hard at this stage too see what it is, but I'll keep posting new renders.

Can you guess what it is?

and the winner is... mirek! Yes, it's a Roland TB-303 and it's a real classic, used in thousands of techno tracks. But it's not a drum machine. TR-808 is a drum machine though.

Here's how it sounds like:

And I did some more modelling.

cool.., actually i knew (really user added image

)it could emulate bass (its a bass machine) but i thought its main function was drums.., can it do drums at all?? there is many a software synth made with this machine in mind.., the most famous i think being 'rebirth' (i think).., there is a free emulation of this in the mag 'computer music' called.., obviously.., cM-303' along with a complete FREE workstation and all the things needed to be very 'cool' user added image

sounds great and its free. it is a VST so it sits nicely in any DAW

maybe this info is helpful to someone??
