Animaiton Newbie
I've wanted to learn for a LONG time and now I want to learn more than ever but I am not sure exactly where to begin. I am using a student edition of Maya 8.5 and have messed with it enough to know how to make, scale, distort and skin basic 3-D shapes but I have no idea how to ever get started with the interface and move into modeling. Can someone give me an idea of the information I should research in order from complete noob to caharacter rigging?
Thanks Sanctus :ninja: |
The free tuts on this site is a good start they helped me alot
|
Just start with the tutorials that pop up when you start maya, then look online for some basic tutorials(it doesn't matter what tutorial you pick as long it's a newbie tutorial)and just start from there.
I would suggest you start learning maya along the workflow; modeling, shading, lighting etc. good luck and welcome:beer: |
Thanks Bob and Mastone.
Does anyone have a certain place on the net they find to be more helpful than others? |

As the others have said just start doing free tuts and you will begin to pick up the basics. It's also worth investing in some books or videos. I found the book Learning Maya Foundation pretty good. http://www.amazon.com/Learning-Maya-...0809269&sr=8-2 |
Go to 3D-Palace.com and download the DREADNOUGHT video tutorial, it will teach you how to model a MECH, go to Video Tutorials and then click on MAYA, you can also download this set from the same place: Maya Box of Miscellany 1
Also, 3DBUZZ.com has some video tuts that will help for MAYA. All free. |
