Modeling Rigging and Animating a Character in Maya [Part1]

[PinAnims]

Please help ASAP. When i right click i dont have anything you have instead i have. Isoparm, Control Vertex, Surface Patch, Surface Point, Surface UV, Hull and Object mode. Please tell me how to change them to what you have so i can begin modeling. Its very frustrating.

[Learnmaya1]

@PinAnims I believe that's because you created a nurbs object, and not polygons. Make sure it is a polygon, not Nurbs. you can change it in the menu tabs.

I didn't understand why you were deleting edges right after deleting half of the face. in and around the neck. plz explain.

You're great, man. Really appreciate your effort and work. Your tutorials are same good as lynda's, maybe even better.

[OneManBand126]

You should put each tutorial in a playlist. that would be MUCH more organized than scattered around youtube :D

[uzzellart]

Great videos, really great can't thank you enough for sharing these.As a newbie following the series it would be kool idea to organise them so idiots like me can find them easier.:)lol Great job , really explained very well indeed. Keep making them.

I love you lol you are helping me so much thank you for the awesome vids

[XxPouringRedRainxX]

rawr, Awesome :) Learning maya. Hard when you got no tutor :l

Luckily there's channels like yours to help!

Altough I do wonder about rendering, I searched on your channel but could not find a video showing how to render an animation to a video file that's playable on media players like VLC or Windows Media Player

[xZedd]

I'm going to recommend this channel to my classmates.

Might be handy to have a bit of order in the videos, at least I'm finding it hard to find the first part of the rigging tutorials :P

[Learnmaya1]

@xZedd yeah sorry, im not quite sure how to organize them:P and thanks for recommending me!

[redagron]

Thank you for these tutorials. they are very helpful

[megaearplugger]

Great Tutorial. I cant see how you only got 32 subscribers. I mean you basically the only one with FREE maya tutorials around. Expert village@ channel is a piece of shit in comparison to yours. Keep up the good work.

[Learnmaya1]

@megaearplugger Thanks! yeah i dont know either, it kinda gets discouraging when i make a video, and they only get like 30 views after a week.

but thanks for your support!

[Zeramirlastof]

Pretty good tutorial but you should teach more shortcuts since I saw you going for the bar up top a couple times when you could have just pressed enter. Keep em coming though. Very cool.

[Learnmaya1]

@Zeramirlastof thanks! and yeah thats true. but even if i have a tool on the shelf, i sometimes do it the long way, just to show the viewer how to do everything.

[Zeramirlastof]

@Learnmaya1 Don't worry I get it completely, just a little comment I thought I'd put out there, keep up the good work though.

[MrEgnal]

yeah very very nice

a lot of tips thats great ;)

hope we see the next one soon

[megaearplugger]

Can there be any kind of complication once it comes to transferring a 3-D Model from Zbrush to Autodesk Maya?

[Learnmaya1]

@megaearplugger well sometimes yes, either transferring from zbrush to maya, or maya to zbrush. I might make a tutorial on that soon.

[kkevinC]

Very cool thanks
