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.

Hello newcomer here, question about 'faces' and their showing

Hello, I have been using maya making things for 2 weeks now, I have been UV mapping recently, and I assumed, I should be somehow disabling the texturing/showing of internal faces, to save on rendering cost etc.

Is this something we do?

That's not necessary. The surface normal of a face tells the renderer if that face is visible to the camera. If it's not, or the face is behind another, then it simply doesn't render it.


Imagination is more important than knowledge.
