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.

Added some textures, rendered with GI_Joe. Took 17 minutes to render! Man, I REALLY need to get a faster computer and more RAM. :p

nice texture on the bottom of the skateboard!! it it yours? I would say that the wheels look too white and the board doesnt have any scratches or dents etc. Dirty it up a bit and it will look great! user added image

Hey, wheels look great, but the grindtape (imho).. is way to black.. you need some kinda shinyness to it.. for that black sandpaper feel. Also, the logo that you have on there is way too white, it just seems too new or something. Anyways, its looking great user added image

. BTW, what color are you going to make those things that in the trucks... the rubber part which decides how loose the board is. Ok, cya later.

The Doh-Dohs (bushings)? Theyre white, just like the ones I currently have on my board. The griptape....its only really shiny when its BRAND NEW. After it gets old/used, it isnt really shiny at all. Ill give it abit of shine, but not too much. Thnx for pointing that out M. And about the words on the griptape, Ill have to dirty that up abit.

I think the road looks really cool, for me the bit that stands out too much are the wheels, they are too white by far. They really need to be dirtied up then it will look sweeeeeeet! user added image
