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.

Background color & ambient light
when I render it using mental ray, it affects all my material's ambient color, so the scene is quite blue like the background color.
any way to prevent this??

edit: Oh if you really want your background to be blue but you need that soft FG look. you could always have it make a alpha map so you can do a composit in photoshop with a blue background.

I'm not using final gathering
Just a simple Mental Ray render cause it handles geometry a lot better than Maya's default renderer.
I just want a plain cartooney blue sky, but it affects all materials in my scene.
I'll have to composite it then...

but yeah that would be my gess and work around. OR.. you can retern your envirment color back to black, and use a very big blue sphere, big enufe that you like the afect. that would work just as well.
