Maya for Beginners – Learn Maya fast in 1 hour


https://i.ytimg.com/vi/OqvwhvQpmgo/hqdefault.jpg



Today I will teach you Maya basics in one hour. No nonsense, just simple point to point teaching of all the generic tools common in many 3d applications.

The recommended way to learn is to watch this entire video from start to finish. From there, the principles will click as you gain experience from your own projects over time. This is meant to be a basic overview on where to find the common tools you need in this application and is ideal for beginners who have little or no experience in Maya.

Like many 3d applications, this tool serves as a converging point for many workflow pipelines where you bring elements and assemble in program. From there, it will streamline out into post production for the final product.

Many 3d applications can do what Maya does so this is for people who prefer using Maya in their projects. It is one of the oldest 3d applications available today and a robust tool for many 3d artists.

  1. At last a tutorial which doesn't start with "push the power button on the front of your personal computer (that was invented in the late 60's) to turn it on.". As a professional Cinema 4D user with 5 years of 3D experience, all I need is a rough translation of the tools I use, for Maya. Great tutorial, thank you!

  2. thank you so muchh MADE ME LEARN A LOT in just 3 hours( i paused and repeated what you did in order to memorize. IT WAS SO NICE! thank you so muchh! going forward to learn skinning and rigging

  3. Is there any way to keep the outliner snapped into one of the other windows and not just keeping it floating on top of everything else? I'm so used to working in C4D and it's always has it's list sitting on the right side of the window. I don't want to put it into my viewports either.

  4. I was looking for something like this. Concise, clear, and easy to follow. Im aware digital tutors and the likes charge for this kind of basic information. So i appreciate you offering this walk through for free. It will help with contextualizing other tutorials that i may stumble across – for sure. I hope you get the latest 2017, so you can explain Arnold – as they rolled it out without preparing for the fact no one is going to be on Vray or Mental Ray now (where the wealth of tutorials are).

  5. ok, so I'm as new as you can get to maya, and have a question. I go to polygons, shift-click cube and instead of letting me make a custom shaped cube it just presents me with one. how do I get it to allow me to make custom cubes?
