This course will look in the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. It's aimed at people that have some modeling experience in Maya but are having trouble with
complex objects.
I am heading off to college(FullSail) later this year, and I was wanting to get a laptop(preferably) that would easily run Maya.
I downloaded the Maya PLE onto my dad's computer which is pretty damn fast and to get render previews it takes 10 minutes with anything that has more than a box or circle. For those of you who have a laptop, or even normal computer...what do you prefer I buy???
Currently all of our computers were custom built, but would it be better to get a cpu from a major company like Dell?
>Please dont suggest any supercomputer over 10 grand because I have to pay for everything myself :p
I'm running Maya on a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop, and everything runs really well. I've only had a couple of viewpanel refresh bugs, but I attribute that to video drivers and windows XP being a piece of cr*p. Otherwise, things are nice and speedy on this machine.
It has a 1.7 GHz Pentium M, 1 GB RAM, a 15.4" widescreen at 1920x1200 resolution, and a 128 MB Radeon Mobility 9600 Pro Turbo video card. The laptop is about 7 lbs, so it's not exactly a lightweight box, but it's not too heavy to carry around on a regular basis. I also added a combo DVDRW/CDRW drive, 802.11 b/g wireless networking, and bluetooth. Total cost of the machine was just over $3000.
alien ware is good but way to expensive... i'm thinkin a dell.. but i dont pay much attention to lap tops... i'm still struggeling to get my desktop upgraded... no funds
I wish I could get some alienware...but that is WAY out of the question
Thanks Danny, that setup is exactly what I am looking for...and the 7lbs I dont really care about...I'd still use it if it was 50lbs...well...maybe not.
