Autodesk Maya 2011 Software — Modeling Overview

[dimobass]

What video card was used in this example?

[ShadowMonkeyKid]

WOW this is such a confusing program

[itchcitizen2]

used to get pissed off modelling in Maya, now it feels most natural and trust me I have been through them all..."including Silo!"

[1Mperios]

@itchcitizen2 how long have you been modelling in Maya? I used to find it messy as well now after however after 2 days so far I think it's great especially the shelves which get you an easy access to most commonly used functions. I learnt abit of 3DS Max as well and I find Maya much more simpler compared to 3DS Max, it has a much more lively interface whereas 3DS Max's interface is seriously depressing to me.

[itchcitizen2]

@1Mperios first used Maya about 2007 ish, found it far too complicated and moved to C4D and Modo and about two years ago I tried Maya again and loved it ! I am still learning so by no means am I 100% confident but I can find my way around. 3DS Max was like the Frankenstein of 3d apps and It never appealed but I haven't tried it for about 4 years so maybe I should.

[ArsalanAzarmi1253]

i have no idea!!



[CLMekvold]

Could this be translated into English? I only heard Greek...

[x900lbGorillax1]

Where is edge loop utilities at?

[stro0nger]

cinema 4d is more professional,but maya is more easy to learn

[throneinc]

@stro0nger gtfo.

[1Mperios]

@stro0nger is that why they haven't used Cinema4D in the movie Avatar? If you make a simple search then it will reveal to you that Maya was the most commonly used software in creating most shots. I'm not saying that Maya is superior to Cinemda 4D because that would make me look foolish but I'm saying that it really depends on the artist, there's people out there that can produce great stuff on Paint only! Both softwares are capable of producing the same thing.

[dandy4547]

asi o mas rapida la explicacion?

[shadowkirby1197]

How much does Autodesk Maya cost?

[TheMKUSH]

@shadowkirby1197 Dude this piece of software isn't cheap it's about : $3,495.00 with subscription as at 03-August 2011. You really have to be commited when you decide to buy and use!

[nysONE]

[technoverload]

[ILLRICARDO]

[abotamar]

I wonder if we can make nude girls with this, it would be awesome man, especially if we can make them move, if you know what i mean by "them" ;) XD

[killdeath2345]

@abotamar u got a dirty, perverted mind man. I like that!

[TheGennaios]

nice modelling!

[Shinobubu]

@MrBoss775 A lot of Gaming Companies uses MAYA as well. Mostly the Big companies like EA, Eidos, Radical, etc. only the mid to low end gaming companies still uses max but only the old legacy versions of them.

[BboyTzilla]

how did you make megamans face..i looks like an image just wrapped around the head...but if that is how you did it how do u do that

[nod103]

Iron Kid

[Truthladel]

OMG! Yes! I thank you for this! Mega Man is the Best Ever!!

[pinkman9999]

is this software downloadable?

[ErrorrPerfect]

@pinkman9999 yes theres a 30 day trial on the autodesk site

[yksnimus]

nurbs are for faggots, real man do low poly

[ErrorrPerfect]

@yksnimus HA HA Well agreed man well agreed! for some reason i thought that Nurbs wouldn't have an effect on performance like polys did, if there were many in the scene i was dead wrong And it made me thing what the hell are they for if we can use Sub-Div's now?!?!?! there a lot easier and funner to Maneuver

[delidani]

@yksnimus lol

[Entertaining4You]

I have Autodesk Maya 2011, and I don't no how to use It ! :(

[TheUltimateAwsomeGuy]

@Entertaining4ask my buddy lightcyclechampion. He could teach you a thing or two.

[Cobac]

3ds max mainly used in video games , maya mainly used in animations/ cg movies . They all work in every other category but i just pointed out their MAIN usage .

[silencerthereaper]

can anyone help me? i want to crate a custom skin for a game and i have the skeleton file but when i click on import it doesnt recognize it what should i do?

[RaidGamingHD]

I like the intro of the video cool and calm music.... :D

[zeejenkins]

@MrBoss775 ROFL you sir seriously fail... If you really took that comment so seriously you fail. Also I said IT IS MY PREFRENCE !

and go watch some of my vids and then eat a turd :)

I will not reply

[CronoticNG]

I want that model O_O

[someguythe2]

its only $3,495

[ErrorrPerfect]

if you guys come here to view a Video about maya stfu about 3ds max the sit sucks its over complicated its not user friendly and it uses up to much ram i say this because i have my problems/Reasons with it and stop dam comparing both maya and 3ds are made by 2 different company's Autodesk doesn't make the stuff they just buy it and make it look good

Ahh masterd maya now i gota make something good for Element 2 Book

[RockieOllie]

megaman tutorial please?

[CronoticNG]

@RockieOllie just take this model as an example and do it, it's easy but take some time

[WarperBlade]

@RockieOllie Totaly Totaly Totaly Totaly Totaly please make a megaman tutorial.

[zeejenkins]

@mIgHTymAN998 you crazy XD

[grendizerful]

how to do that

[zeejenkins]

Maya fails at animation, I prefer 3ds max :\

but its just me

[soulcalibur22]

@zeejenkins ya 3ds 2011 is still way over this program. but i think this is like Jr now lol cool effects but 3ds is A+ now

[darkspider2dot0]

Damn nice!

Is he using the Ctrl + RMB Menus? I am a beginner and don't use them that often.

Thats a very fluid and fast workflow!

[elemekutuna]

and viewport perfomance/camera target snap is still sucks . i need to hit "F" to focus on object elements while max does that automatically

[elemekutuna]

maya stil has no "connect" command but some weird solutions like "split " etc . max has that nearly since 15 years .

[MeshMan3D]

Maya è il migliore! lightwave è pieno di difetti ed è troppo complesso. 3D Studio non mi piace secondo me è sopravvalutato. Autodesk Maya e Blender sono i migliori. Saluti dall'italia ^_^

[DanielManahan]

Max still kicks ass over Maya modeling. way too many features missing in maya

[LukesInABox]

zomgg, incredibleness =]

[TARGETWAR]

Integrate Spline-3ds max tools, and Maya will be best.

[spider853]

If Maya will have all the modeling tools from 3ds max 2011 than Maya will be the unique greatest 3D package!

[chillydog12345]

@spider853 damn right!!!!!!!!!!!

[ErrorrPerfect]

@spider853 that would be a nice life to live in....a world where 2 titan packages became one not shareing parts they became one :D

[elemekutuna]

@spider853 it wont . it still has not the advantages of stack system and modifiers .

[Shinobubu]

@spider853 3dsmax's poly tools are kludgy when its built around a frankenstein user interface. MAX's greatest problem is that its designed by programmers/CAD with absolutely no training in interface design. in short Max sucks. The tools are overrated and easily reproducible in MEL scripts. Bonus Tools anyone?

[ShadowDatsas]

@spider853 Maya does have all the modeling tools from 3ds and much more.

[masterod1]

@spider853 I keep waiting for them to be one.. glad it will be Maya.. love Maya.. look better.. always.. to me Max has always been geeky looking..

[SuperDeluxe80]

@spider853

since autodesk owns everything now it wont happen that way you can buy 3ds max, maya, softimage, mudbox from them.

[Suprem3Gamer]

@spider853 actually I'm a 3Ds Max 2012 user, and I'm really surprised that Maya is way better than 3Ds Max 2012, I'm going to get Maya 2012 for sure.

[dukefan789]

@Suprem3Gamer I would recommend waiting. The 2013 version should be out in not too long.

[Suprem3Gamer]

@dukefan789 thanx for the advice.

[elelec]

@dukefan789 thanks too

[rudal90]

@spider853 and no one want to use 3ds max later

[XYFEIR]

Maya AND Megaman?! LOVE IT! :D

[iheart3D]

Love it!

[Coltranized]

MEGAMAN! :D <3
