3D Maya After Effects Promo

High Quality: http://vimeo.com/2122592

Made in Autodesk Maya 8.5, Adobe After Effects CS3, Adobe Photoshop CS3, Apple Final Cut Express 4, and Apples IMovie 6 (Because 8 sucks!!!). Took less than 10 hours from start to finish. Over a course of two days.

Sounds are a printer, and music is Mop Head-edIT. Made for my video parter and friend... Connor Berge. :)

guys i wana get into animation n i dont know a thing bout anything (fck i cant even draw) but i wanna start with learnin softwares. which do you recmnd Maya or Adobe AE

[Cigotie]

@RVBeEtZ well, if you want to start learning 3D animation, then you might wanna take a course on it, cause it's probably a tricky thing to throw yourself into. If you want to start say 2D animation, I'd recommend Adobe Flash or even Pivot!! Haha that's what I started on, then I got into this kind of stuff and learned FXHome software. After Effects is a composting program and Maya is an industry standard 3D application used for lots of things. So I would say start small and work big ;)

Nice work on this!

The M turns black at one point, and I'd work on the bump of the base a bit more, but overall this is a really good piece!

[Cigotie]

Well the M turns black due to the reflection on the arm coming down infront of it. But you're very right that needs to be changed. What where your thoguhts about the bump mapping? I dont really mind how it is now.

hmmm, maya looks like an easy program. Is it hard? I'm 14 btw.

[Cigotie]

haha. It is the hardest program you will ever use. It also has the steepest learning curve in the industry. The breakdown I created does NOT represent real time workflow in Maya. It is simply a demonstration of materials/textures, geometry, and animation.

[Locococox]

Brilliant! Thats a lot of hard work and talent you got their :)

[piggyjc]

cool :)

@Cigotie nvm if that song thing is still there :) great work!

[iBecrux]

sick man! what song what this btw?

[Jecto34214]

@daantjede12e ya im going to have to agree with it being one of the hardiest programs, im currently learning how to use it and we have spent 5 months on it and we have barely touched the tip of the iceberg

[EYEReive]

hey could you do some titles for my film?

[FugeeXProductions]

nice work

[Chrisp3dy]

It's not the easiest program in the world, but I would definitely suggest at least looking at it, and watching some videos on how to use it if you are interested.

I started learning how to use maya my first year of Jr High, I'm now a Junior and I still learn a ton every time I do a project.
