Today, @luxg7 tackled some crucial shading issues to get his model game-ready! Fixing normals and refining topology might sound technical, but these steps are what separate a beginner model from a professional one. Here’s a quick breakdown:

1️⃣ Soft Shade All Edges: Start with a smooth base before adjusting normals.
2️⃣ Unlock Normals: Reset any locked shading to prevent unexpected shadows.
3️⃣ Harden Correct Edges: Ensure light interacts properly with the model’s geometry.
4️⃣ Retopologize If Needed: Preserve hard edges while cleaning up any remaining issues in topology.

With these shading fixes, he’s almost done in Maya! Next up: moving into the exciting world of texturing. Stay tuned! 🎨🔥 Visit our website www.m3dsacademy.com to learn more about us!
