Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

As the guys said, it takes time but the rewards are well worth it.

It took me around a year to grasp Maya and the way it worked but I suppose overall it took me about 3 years to get to the point I'm at now. Also I have Maya, P/shop and SiteSpinner web site software at home now which is even better, so these days I can get stuck in and do my thing and put stuff on the forums. Its nice to be your own boss!!!
But at the end of the day its down to you how fast you wanna learn it too, I have been lucky enough to have used Maya every day at work with other people who wanted to learn it too, so it was like this family who helped each other get over the big obstacles. A bit like here.

For me at this point its really just practicing to refine the CGI skills I have. I think focusing on traditional art first will make this easier for me.
Yeah, but no but yeah but no....

Liked bryce but too limited, hated lightwave, didnt get into it, Liked maya but didnt have a powerful enough computer, most i could make was about 3000polies before it would die... had to wait about a year to get a comp...
Ive been using it for about 1 year or 2, but long gaped between use(use it for 2 months straight... then stop for 5 months, so on)
Im a noob.
