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.

Cylinder Triangles
From what I've been taught recently, is that you need to have no triangles in your mesh but how do you do that with a cylinder?
Do I just leave it? Or start again and create it differently? If so, how?
Thanks guys!

Keeping a clean mesh is important but a few triangles and ngons on non deforming geo are not going to make any difference.

If you work in games, tris are acceptable...but film is quads!
