  • Nice+Perfect.

    It would be better if the vdo could have higher resolution.

  • hello Im a newbie on this and I think you're going to fast, but I can manage, however I fell off when you said "press box shade" or either "potshade", what do I do?

  • I made a 3 dimensional girl with this software.  I pressed enter and she came out of my bathroom and approached me with steam slowly lingering behind her as she approached me. What happened next is too dangerous for the internet.

  • @crackface5 Wierd Science! :D Lisas' coming back mofo's!

  • @EbuTuoyEto Under the bar with the links to 'General', 'Curves', 'Surfaces', ect... Theres a row of movie-like buttons, (A video reel, a question mark, a video camera with a rotate arrow, and then the Video Camera with the move arrow- click that and you can push it up by clicking and dragging.

  • How to zoom in and scroll down ???!?!?!? plz help me

  • can i drink out of it

  • You cheated using that picture thats not the real way to do it

  • @Darkseeker109

    Hey idiot, references images its always used for modeling. Do you think that Digital Domain or ILM don't use reference pictures for modeling creatures or robots like Transformers ?

  • Thank you very much, but how do I add a glassy material?

  • How do i import image? maya8 impors it in a seperate window

  • Does anyone know where I could teach Maya? I'd love to teach it.

  • @limbdarkening teach it on youtube 

  • @CeeTinaFREAK NO! I wanna get paid damn it!  It's survival!

  • @limbdarkening selfish-ness : )

  • @CeeTinaFREAK You have to make a living somehow. If everything was free, how could people afford to eat?!

  • @limbdarkening yes yes i don't even remember what this was about

    lol could we stop replying now : )

  • @limbdarkening and I'd love to learn maya

  • @demoniccurses9 I'll teach you if you pay me!

  • i really dont know why fifteen people disliked this video this video actually taught me a lot about maya

  • Please tell me there's a way to edit the curve after it's been revolved? Learning this program has so far been nothing but frustration at the major features it lacks compared to the supposedly "less powerful" cinema 4D. I have yet to find anything Maya can do that Cinema can't do either better, as well, or almost as well.

  • one very silly and dumb question, how do u move the screen on maya? i know how to zoon in and out but i cant move it to the parts i want! plz respond

  • @DabloxHunter alt+click

    f to focus

  • @DabloxHunter Hold Alt+Right click on mouse... To move around hold Alt+Left click...too move Up, Down, Left an rigth, hold Alt + Middle mouse button.. or push F to center image :)

  • @unborn1980 Thank you so much :D

  • hold alt key and drag using the middle mouse or if you don't have a middle mouse button press the scroll wheel with alt..,

  • @DabloxHunter

    alt+Left click = Rotate

    alt + Right Click = Zoom in/out

    alt + middle click = Pan

  • @IndianTelephone what if your on mac using the magic mouse?

  • @thouptyduptypants sorry mate, never used mac. And i dont think you can use magic mouse to pan since there is no middle click, but official autodesk forums said you can press hold space bar and left click to pan, likei n photoshop. Try that or ask some mac user, I am a windows user sorry :(

  • @IndianTelephone And a very happy windows user, by the way.

  • @DabloxHunter Alt/option + middle wheel = left. right, up. and down movement. Alt/option + Left Click= move all around. Alt/Option + Right Click = forward and back zoom.

  • can you make a part 2?

  • do random people actually pay for this program? cause over 4000$ is a bit much, can someone pleas tell me exactly why this is around 4000$ and blender is free, obviously maya has lots more features but still what makes it so much if a program that does some of the same stuff is available for free why is a program with a little more features so much money pleas explain i really want to know?

  • @gipro1

    Maya just works better, thats about what I can say of it..

    If you can make good models you can earn good cash with them :)

  • @gipro1 Because people who want to make money using this program (businesses) legally have to pay the cash.

  • @Grotick did you read my comment? i was talking about random people. and you did not say why a business would pay the cash when there is a free program like blender. as i said before i know maya has more features then blender but why does the price go over $4000? i can understand making it cost money cause it works better as thijssnl said but still maybe around $30 bucks but 4k holy shit thats a jump but then again i dont have the program so i dont know about its godly abilities 

  • @gipro1 if you are a student you can get it for free

  • thank you! great tut, without annoying intro talking.straight down to business.Suggestion if I may: It would be great if you'd screen typed steps that u executed. Tnx again and luck & wisdom be with you

  • can u make a nice shader tutorial for the glass including rendering properties how to set it up??? thanks in advance

  • thats to simple......its prety nice also...but you can explain the process a little more quickly.....

  • Does anyone know where to get a free serial code?

  • ok I gott get this program. How did you guys learn how to do all this

  • if you have the program...only go to autodesk page....look for maya...and then maya tutorials.....

  • very simple to understand! thanks! this will be helpful for my college game art class this year!

  • @shadow4you lucky, where you studying?

  • @blueberrylesbian Montgomery College

  • thank you for this tutorial, it's really helpful! You have one more subscriber :)

  • Thanks for this video. Very helpuful. Only complain, the audio, a little poor but other than that good.

  • thank you man 

  • The video is simple and straight, i'm looking forward to see your other vids... Hope you go on with maya tuts?

  • Very helpful, thank you : )

  • thanks Buddy..  nice.

  • that wine glass has sexy curves

    is it doing anything after the tutorial

  • This is almost all I see on Youtube. the same fuckin' thing about the same fuckin' tool. Somebody start explaining the best approach for character modeling, camera work, lighting. Hell, I would settle for a vid on how to model a goddamn teddy bear!

    I'm sorry mates. I'm a bit stressed. I've already done this level stuff a billion times already.

  • @KoopaKonartist HAHAHA classic. (y)

  • @KoopaKonartist sorry to hear you're stressed....it's true, I never seem to find anything to fill the gap from beginner to adept.

  • I want to fill this wine glass with water. Turning the wine glass into a passive collider doesn't work. Any ideas???

  • I wish I could have seen the end result of the wind glass revolve. You never changed the camera angle so that we might actually see something other than an orthographic view. The image plane being in the way was extremely unhelpful at that point.

  • how do i imprt a image from desktop with 2011 im block with FCheck

  • @flix450 nvm but i cant delete my image

  • @flix450 cant delete my image got maya 2011

  • thanks so much this has helped a lot

  • the program "autodesk maya" is only for mac or all types? btw nice tutorial!

  • @PortalCproductions all types :] i just got Maya 2011 for windows 7

  • @Swetsnel WTF? 2011? :| it's allready released? :|

  • We just learned this today :D

  • so you can pretty much do this for all symmetrical objects?

  • I liked it, easy to follow, but it took awhile to figure out on my screen, yours it way out of focus for me

  • hay Mr.mguild i can say honestly it's great skill that you have & i just want to ask you

    smth

    i have a lap-top computer a compaq & i don't have any USB mousse or enything i just want to know how can i go up and down left and right in the side view like you did to go to down to put the points in CV mode i know how to zoom in & out alt+right clik and going up & down left and right no (the navigation)

    one other thing pleaze can you tell me how to perform a dupllicat object thanks a lot

  • @kaguashi To move around you can use one of the tools under the generals tab I think. As for duplicating objects it's as simple as ctrl + d, however you might want to delete history (edit->delete by type->history i think) for the objects to break the connection between the duplicates.

  • @kaguashi: Well you can watch the tutorial videos. To scroll up and down, left or right, you need a "middle" mouse button. I don't have one either, so it's a pain in the ass to work on this stuff. To duplicate an object: select it, and then press CNTRL and then D.

  • Two things,

    The grid doesn't display over the image plane, and what do you hold/press after hitting "x" to keep the flow of placing the CV curve tool?

  • lol how do you even make an image plane

  • view>image plane>import image i think

  • which is easier to use? Maya or 3ds max?

  • @allenahyong

    3ds max is easier for game desing, simply because of it's biped feature. But maya is easier to get a hold of.

  • @allenahyong both are very hard my friend, you're welcome to pick any :) just one thing, YOU MUST DO IT, CG is awesome :x

  • @allenahyong Maya is a better choice for learners

  • thanks brow! more of these... please

  • I get stuck at :51 minutes. don't know how to zoom in and out your glass.

  • @eddtoro same here what do i do?

  • @adampostjr

    Use the mouse scroll wheel.

  • Top notch dude, just finished making my own

  • what you need a backdrop images for creating a glass....lol

  • no you don´t need but it makes life more easier.

  • this is cool i would like to download and learn how to use it, can anyone tell me how? thanks

  • @deannuts69 go onto the Autodesk website and try to find the free trial. it takes a while to download but you get it for 30 days to try out. thats what im doing at the moment. hope this helps

  • anyone know why my wine glass goes like hexagon up top?

    thanks

  • can somebody tell me how to export maya 2009 files to photoshop cs4

  • bharadwad is right i downloaded it and its working perfectly fine!!!!!

  • for what i can use maya???

  • hello, i have a question and was wondering if you could help?when i create an object using this method i dont have the ability to move, scale or rotate it. what am i doing wrong or missing? thanks

  • you can't it's a program mainly used by universities and businesses. getting it for your home pc can be hard if you dont know someone who can burn you a copy

  • why cant i select

  • @vernonthekiller

    ok look that was not needed.

    i am not a retard because i did not know.

    also retard is not a good word to call someone

  • @15firekid

    yes it was.

    yes you are.

    and yes it is

    ..//vernon

  • @vernonthekiller

    if not knowing something means that one is a retard then the entire human race are retards including you

  • @15firekid

    and if the entire human race is retarded then that means that you are an extra retard since you cant seem to solve a simple problem, such as not being able to select something.

    p.s.

    thats just my way of saying your welcome. so stop being a cry baby.

  • @vernonthekiller

    Hey thats great. Now I know that Im an extra retarded cry baby unable to solve simple problems. Thankyou for your kind help towards a total novice at using Maya.

    ps.Thats just my way of saying thankyou

  • oh shut up troll

  • Sorry, I allready got it! thanks

  • hi!

    how can i create a glass from a illustrator (.ai) shape? (not a closed curve)

    when i use revolve, maya create unlimited curves from reference points (very big circle....)

    i think the central axis is missing..

  • OK guys, what did i do wrong? My wine glass is not hollow!! Bit inconvenient to have a solid wine glass ...

  • is it possible to render a CG like colors in maya?

  • i beleve it is i think southpark uses autodesk maya

  • yes they do use maya, but i dont see why. they never do any 3D

  • my shelf editor went blank, what can I do?

  • Did any of you buy it?

  • Yes we did. Some of us have LEGAL jobs and do LEGAL things.

  • hey iwas just wondering i havent done anything

  • Not everybody has the money to frivolously buy shit like this, how about you stop being a smug and pretentious asshole?

  • ...

    *thumbs down*

  • Lmao I just looked at your profile and saw you're in middle school. It's easy to be against piracy when your fucking mom buys all your shit.

  • Lol, im not against it. In fact, I do it a lot... I was in a crappy mood and wanted to flame.

  • Rofl

  • Did any of you buy the software or just downloaded it from a torrent?

  • yo your fucking crazy......in like a ridiculously intelligent way..

  • I found this very helpful!!! Thanks for making this tutorial :)
