Introduction to Maya - Modeling Fundamentals Vol 1
This course will look at the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. We'll look at what makes a good model in Maya and why objects are modeled in the way they are.

It turns out i still exist...

So i get home today after a week without the internet and lo and behold i remember that simplymaya is a place that exists and a place i have not frequented for quite some time now.

After doing photography for a year now at university i have found myself longing for the days i once spent struggling and straining as i taught myself MAYA (with the help from the good people here mind you) and now that i have a good 5 months of holidays with no job and plenty of free time i find myself yearning to re-live that experience!

And i know Ive said this before but this time i really have no excuse, i am back, wanting to kick start me some 3-Dimensional adventures that i can share with all of you. It may not happen for a week or two but until then i shall attempt to trawl around the forum re-acquainting myself with this world of 3D that i have neglected for too long.

Peace out yall!

Oh geez, welcome back!
Of course, who am I to be welcoming you back? I have been away from this place a lot too.
Still working in Maya, just kind of fell-out when all the old-folks here did; not many of the old crew still come here. It makes me sad.
Rest assured; a few of them are still here!
I need to post more here; helping people and such.

But enough about me,

Welcome back, yo!

Yup, went about 2 years without touching it then about 2 months ago I wanted to make a car for Test Drive Unlimited and got back into it, and somehow when I got back into it I seemed to be much better at it :p
