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.

Darkware inspired me....feedback pls

he made me get off my ass and actually get something going...congrats to him!!

anyways like he I have been thinking about lightsaber stuff....by stuff I mean pretty much everything from props, fight scenes, fx etc....

here's something I made...then tweaked in PS user added image

excuse pic size...and excuse the fact that it's here....it's not a WIP and it's not worthy of gallery status...if it goes somewhere else....ah well... I tried...hehe

I know the handle is off colored....but this is only for the blade
