Autodesk Maya 2011 software — Dynamics & Effects Overview

[Ammagadon]

is maya and 3d studio max compatible?

[acmeace73]

@Ammagadon there are file types that are supported by both, but they're not the native .mx or .mb/file types. for example, if you export a model from maya as an .obj it will import into max and vice versa

[acmeace73]

**.max

[notmorefat]

so pretty

[watchyourst3p]

ya they make a video giving you an idea that its easy to do shit like that.

good luck man... will spend a month to set up a simulation like the cloth one.

[mingming101ful]

@watchyourst3p actually some takes 5 months to make a full character

[warlocksmight]

And I thought that Crysis 2 or Witcher 2 would chew out my laptop... this program seems merciless :D

[TheUltimateDwarf]

Autodesk is the best

[Pawspov]

love it

[mrgiloz]

just give me the computer your working with xD and i promise you i can anything

[Clambercty]

Whats the differnce between Maya and 3ds max?

I currently use 3ds max. But i cant really tell the difference between the two, like the pro's/cons. IF some1 could tell me what they are that would be great!

[RadarNumba1]

@Clambercty

I'm taking 3D animation in College. If I remember right, 3ds max is best used for buildings and scenes, while Maya is best used for Character design... either that or Zbrush....

[caveman357]

Im learning MEl in maya, I hate to model in it tho, Modo is better. Takes maya 10 steps to do the same thing in Modo will be 3

[iVaporized]

@caveman357 workflow dude. that and custom hotkeys.... if it takes you 10 steps to do something simple, refine it.

[meenboy12]

If I use poser 8 and maya, would that be a good combination for a 3d animation series?

[coolshoos]

That boat was from cars. I just found out that pixar uses maya!

[Clambercty]

@coolshoos Yes pixar uses Maya, Poser, Vue, 3ds max, photo-shop, and after effects, just custom versions for there company with means its a more high end version of the program.

[shawnhendriks]

yes that character was made inside of Maya I think the artist working on this spent a couple weeks making here and all the stuff that went with her for other demos. If you are looking for characters and pre-built material check out websites like Turbosquid.

[zanidy13]

I would be MORE than greatful for someone to assist me in this matter. The young lady in this video (the model) that they have that looks decent enough...How did they acquire her? Was it through an import from another program? I hope it wasn't through the creation thing that I watched because that would take SO MUCH time. I can be reached on here or at my sister's email holly_andrieson@yahoo.com...

[zanidy13]

So, here I am, having shelled out a total of $3865 dollars for the full Maya2011 and even a few classes to get me well-acquainted with the basics of the software, and thus far, it just seems that they're holding back. Even for the FULL price, I can't understand why there aren't posable models (human like) for you to diddle-daddle with. Sort of like Poser7 has. Can ANYONE please help me with this as Im a bit frustrated, and wondering if I wasted nearly $4000 dollars on Autodesk Maya.

[AdeptusSteve]

@zanidy13 Money is never wasted on Autodesk software. You could google some stuff and Im sure you will find some sites where you can download free models. OR you just model your own :)

[dabovc]

hi, can somebody tell me whats the cost of this software?? ill apreciatte it

[zubingala1]

@dabovc Its for $3495 unless you are a student...XD

[nysONE]

any tutorial how to create a beach and sand? and natural beach wave?

[TheGennaios]

how to make a movie in maya 2011 i have made my movie with all keys and others but how to make it in an avi file?

[itsGeorgeAgain]

@TheGennaios It depends on the renderer you are going to use. The Maya Software renderer can output into an AVI file. (You can select this from the Render settings panel)

If you use MentalRay you can't as far as i know. The way i do it with Mental Ray is to render them in frames and then batch process them with another application into a video file.

[MRN0MERCY]

that water thing, is UNREAL to do in maya! How did they made it? H O W ?

[killerriot22]

@MRN0MERCY just think they made maya, they have very very good computers ;P

[XxPouringRedRainxX]

wow, That's a freaking amazing program :o

Damnit, It's making my pants tight. */Starts going trough tutorials*

[MrLolumad69]

@XxPouringRedRainxX maya is widely used in animation studios like warner bros, disney, pixars, etc.. It's really great.

[XxPouringRedRainxX]

@MrLolumad69

Yeah, Too bad I noticed my computer can't handle it.

Took me about 3 hours to render 23 pictures from my image sequence.



[gianmarcomontes]

I use 3d max But now im learning Maya, Final Opinion: 3d MAX SUCKSSS!!!

If you want liquids need a pluging, convincent fire Need a pluging, all they do is improve the way you move a vertex!! FUck 3d Max.. VIVA MAYA

[1DownEntertainment]

[Nikola91743]

[ErrorrPerfect]

if anyone is looking to make this stuff get into some Digital tutors videos there stuff is AMAZEING its easy and long so it take you through the hole process of learning now i know mya like te back of my hand!!! and the documentation helps to fuck youtube tutorials there a fail waist of time dam kids trying to model there good but talk to much

[dreamerboy1231]

@ErrorrPerfect

umm.. u know maya like the back of your hand.. lol I am doing maya 5 years now.. and maya is not just a toll that u can learn in a week or even in a year maya is so big that it take many years maybe 15 years or maybe more..even the basic's in maya it not that simple and if u got the basic's then u have to learn the rest like fluids modeling rendering light + animation + composting + motion tracking so I think u talk to much ...

[ErrorrPerfect]

@dreamerboy1231 i can learn just about anything from Reading it the first time what i did was read the Documentation that comes with it & got at it its easy & very fun ima fast learner and since its what i love doing its my top priority to learn this and computer repair sorry if i seem like a show off or talk to much i just learn fast took me 6 months to learn all the commands & what each Section of maya has to offer Endless reading i even skipped my summer break and flunked a grade for this :D

[ErrorrPerfect]

@dreamerboy1231 & 3DS MAX is not a toll that you can learn & a week i seriously Dont see What the hell people like it for its not User friendly nor Ram friendly & to many wanabe Artist compare & contrast it to maya Not knowing there made by many different people & 5 years are you in college for this or is it something els i need to find a school involving maya :)

[SuperOhable]

@ErrorrPerfect haha thats what i say about 3DS MAX :-p

[petradog409]

@ErrorrPerfect You should make an animation man.

[TyLkoMilczaKamienie]

@ErrorrPerfect learn Softimage or the old lightwave first make a xsi animation then one on maya then speak!!! everybody has maya. pd. todays 3d aplications doesn diferr too much,,, games, movies, graphycs, anything u want ...u got it!! and by the way..ask the one who buys everythin good: Autodesk!!!

[ErrorrPerfect]

@TyLkoMilczaKamienie i already know softimage or the XSI mod tool thats how i got started :) Digital tutors are awesome with helping learn anything it took me a while to find the free Video pack on the AD website & i wouldnt say everyone has maya every where i go they have 3ds max it pisses me off Soooo much everything and everyone supports that overcomplicated trash where i work im the only maya user <.<

[ErrorrPerfect]

Beautiful work! I wish if I could this software! Keep going! You're always the best!

[Tallacus]

@JassimAlAli if you want to learn the software the student version is about $500 and you also get mudbox 2011 as long as you don't use it for commercial use

[JassimAlAli]
