I need to learn Maya...
Posted 11-18-2007 at 01:52 AM by Berticus
So it goes like this: the chosen package to use in Animation Mentor is the latest version of Maya. So here I am, a seasoned veteran of Blender (I know most aspects of the program and can use them somewhat efficiently) and now I'm looking to migrate to Maya. As of yet I have not found any specially targeted tutorials or any tutorials that meet my needs (that is, tell me where the poly editing tools are hiding, hot-key shortcuts - these are extremely important to me as I am a hot-key fanatic - and generally the basics... you know?).
So, some help for this poor aspiring Maya user?
I will probably be spending some money on a training course or two, so suggestions in that area would be greatly appreciated as well.
In that vein, I will be starting a WIP to learn the editing tools and then the animation tools to kind of prep myself for AM.
I appreciate any help!

| | www.digitaltutors.com They've got tons of Maya video training, and a good sized chunk of it is free. The non-free stuff isn't all that expensive, either, if you want to go that far. |

| |  Thanks Vak111, great link, tons of tutorials-I'll definitely be working my way through those (once I've done away with the PLE version of Maya... How is one supposed to model without generic mesh editing tools, anyway?) |

| |  Does Maya have to be the only tool you use? You could model in Blender and import to Maya. |
