show progress how often you want, as long as you capture your major steps and you don't suddenly jump to a massively beautiful render after posting a block :p

that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"

Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D

also, you need to soften the edges on the round corner of your building on the left there

select the edges
hold down shift
hold down right click
and you'll find the option to soften the edges there in a menu near the bottom right

or just go to Normals > Soften/Harden > Soften (or something like that, i haven't used the menu for a long time and Maya isn't in front of me)
