6 months ago?! Mate you haven't gone MIA on us have you?! Awesome video, thanks. I use Blender but as you say, the concept is the same across all 3D software & even though you're using Maya, you've made it really easy to follow. Especially love your topology videos. Can you (if you're really bored or looking for a video idea) do a nice video on the best ways to deal with the inevitable topology Poles? Like how to shift 3 & 5 edge poles while maintaining edge-flow?

Hello Sir, your tutorials really helped me to make my first car model so thank you so much for that awesome series. ☺

But I wasn't confident enough to make a car animation. Only if you had made this video a little earlier. 😓

Great videos, thank you much and great to have Maya specific tuts. Have you made any on Unreal Engine, I found that difficult to use?
