1st - Press F1 and have a look at the elp files, there great and have some really good tutorials.

2nd - Before you start anything, switch on infinate undo

hello devilmind, do some tutorials then attemp some on your own without any help, that helps alot. good luck

gster --> "2nd - Before you start anything, switch on infinate undo"

is there a way to do that in maya 7? or only 8?

gster123 16-01-2007 06:48 AM

I'm using version 6, and I know its in 7.

Go to your preferences then in undo click the infinate radio button for the undo que

marlonjohn 16-01-2007 07:11 AM

Ahhh Undo. The most reliabel option any Maya version has to offer.


An Ode to Undo
Praise unto you Undo and all who follow you,
May the dark gooeyness of mistakes be written out of Maya,
Praise unto you Undo and all who worship you


Completely pointless, but hey. Work is quiet atm :attn:

marlonjohn 16-01-2007 09:09 AM

is there even a program without undo? lol ;)

1) Ask the great people on here for help - very friendly place, loads of great advice.

2) Don`t try and learn to much to soon - Learn in parts

3) using maya 8 - turn of interactive creation

create>polygon primatives>interactive creation

biggest mistake autodesk have made so far - tring to turn maya into 3Dmax.

(infact I think the only mistake so far)

good luck with the learning.

marlonjohn 17-01-2007 03:29 AM

Also look at the F1 Help Files and do the tutes in there. Gr8 easy and hlep full to let you get to grips with the basics.

Grev_Mivlos 29-01-2007 06:13 PM

did you think about "Hello World"? :P

Galadiel 30-01-2007 11:32 PM

Yeah....turn off "interactive creation" uuuuaaaaahhhh....really a mistake from autodesk :eeek2:

turn on "keep faces together" under the polygon modeling tab, "edit mesh"

download the free tuts from Simply Maya.

And, tweetytunes says it! Don't learn too much too fast.

Last but not least......have fun!!!!!
