Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

Hey, that's not too bad for just 2 days! I used to teach Maya and you've done quite well. Keep it up and you'll be rivaling the best of us in no time!

I only started learning Maya a few days ago also mate, i really advise watching some of the movie tutorials u can get here, and also on other sites such as 3dbuzz.com, they teach u everything from the absolute basics so its handy for us beginers.

Hope that helps

problems getting started

maya is such a big program, I'm new to it and it is like greek to me, I've watched the tutorials that came with the program and stuff, all I want to do is draw my own stuff, it seems all I have a choice from in the menu are shapes like cylinders and spheres and such. how does that work? do I draw straight on a grid then convert it to wire frame?

yeah mate, im the same, im a bit scared to just dive into making stuff at the moment incase i do it completly wrong and i should have done it a different way :|

but i think wreading more and watching more will get rid of that as i become more familerised with the interace
