Texturing- I find myself knuckling my forehead quite alot learning this stuff.Modeling- This is more fun to me than any other part of 3D.
Learn autodesk maya software#
My breakdown for learning this software is this: all at the same time will keep you from digging deeper within those areas. Trying to learn modeling, texturing, rendering, animation, dynamics, etc. There's things that I haven't touched yet, like animation and camara settings, but I think if you focus on one thing at a time it will help you figure out this software faster.
But now I pretty much know where everything is at, and how it functions. It took me awhile to get used to the interface, and where everything is at. Pretty cool stuff awaits you my friend.Īll I can say to you really, is the more familiar Maya becomes to you, the more you'll figure out what you can do with the software. You probably haven't seen this yet, but the Paint FX window is almost a mini-photoshop in and of itself. You can't compare Photoshop to this software. I think I can say that my progression is coming along nicely, but I am far from knowing this software 100%. I've bought books, and read tutorials numerous times. I've probably spent over 400 hours alone working in it. I've effectively been using Maya now for about 6 months. It's not a program that you can learn quickly. I think what gmask has said makes great sense. I'm assuming I need to learn the basics of lighting/colors etc before I can do anything worth while in maya.Īnyways, thanks in advance for any advice you can lend to a struggling newbie Where did all you pros start? Does it really take 10+ years of experience before you start getting good results? Also, if i did really start to get into this animation stuff, can anyone suggest some good schools in america to study at? And where can I find tutorials on the basics of art? Like I said before I've had no formal training in art at all. I've tried reading some of the tutorials but they all seem geared toward someone who at least has some 3d experience and knows some of the jargon that goes along with it. Where should I start to read about maya? Other than this board of course. If I were to really apply myself (by this i mean 5-10 hours a week), how long would it take before I would become fairly proficient with maya? I'd love to be able to put some custom animations and cool effects into my commercials but it seems like such a distant task that its not even worth the effort. How long would it take someone to learn this program? It's obviously not something you can just jump straight into and start clicking on things like photoshop. I fix stuff (computer tech).Ī friend and I have started producing commercials for local companies in our spare time just for fun and to get away from the mundane work of computer maintence and to explore our creative sides. I'm very well versed in computers though as this is what I do for a living. I've played with photoshop before, but other than that I have no art experience what so ever. I was introduced to maya about 2 weeks ago by a friend who showed me some very powerful things that can be done with it. Probably the newest of the newbies on this board. I know this question has probably been asked a million times and its way to vague to give a good answer to so let me try to explain myself before you yell at me
