Nice nice! We do the same, watching basic tutorials is good - always some little tip to pick up.

@@FlippedNormals really i thought only i did that due to my learning difficulties/disabilites i assumed experts never need to refresh

Same - I had to master it for my degree - but still watch refreshers and tutorials every day (plus lecturing design and animation means I have to keep up to date). But - we ALL have had 'Maya rage' at some point in our careers am I right? :) ;)

Yeah, but not to confuse a few people here, Maya's 2020 version's educational license is for only 1 year! (but you can re-new it) 2019's version (educational) is for 3 years! But when you want to download the student version, it will tell you how long you can use it for. Have a good one with Maya :)

So on the AD site it only asks if you're an educator or student and if you pick student it asks if high school or university. Do I just pick university? I have an edu email that I technically still have access to but I have no idea for how long. Been graduated since 2015. Can I just not use edu and they just don't care?

I bought this course realising I'll be able to download free educational license but its asking for high school or university, sadly have to download trial version to start with... you comment is very misleading.

@@jaypurrington6573 I think so yes

@@roycedacosta2433 I’ve done it last year I don’t exactly remember how you do it but you can put any university or high school you want (I’m not in any particular high school) try again it’ll work ! If you have a problem ask me I’ll try to remember better

Xesw

Thx bro

Thank you! Thats a good note, thanks for clarifying.

And its free lol

Thanks! We'll do more Maya videos for sure

Awesome - good to hear! It's tricky when you're new to it with all the different settings, but once you understand the logic, it's quite simple :)

Thank you! Arnold GPU is honestly quite unstable at the moment. We tried using it for the full Intro series, but it just wasnt reliable at all.

FlippedNormals Wow! Really? My professor told me otherwise. That it had some initial lag but it’s super fast. Is Maya coming out with an update to fix this issue?

Thank you for watching!🙏

The paid course is over 12 hours of content, so this is a peice of it. I bought the course myself and theres just so much to dig into there, I havent even gotten to the project part of the course yet, so honestly great value for what it is.

@@MFMArt Yeah I'm aware, but this is a lot more than nothing at all, and is not the same an 1 hour intro for a newcomer than a 1 hour intro for people who already know about other 3D software

This is a quick-start guide :) There's no way to teach Maya in an hour, but it's enough to warm you up to some of the important core concepts, where the main tools are and how to approach the different tasks.

Our pleasure!

Feel ya - but with Max. It's been 10 years and I have no idea how to use it anymore!

So did we! It was a completely accidental discovery some years back.

Thank you! :D

In the channel box, select the values you want to change, hold MMB, drag left or right to increase or decrease.

Thanks! We cover some rigging tools like constraints, parenting, joints and weight painting :)

@@FlippedNormals So you don't.

:D Thanks Elenora!

Good luck with your professional career then. As much as the Blender community makes it out to be, It ain't that easy bub.

@@jamesjason8471 Blender weaknesses are Rigging and Simulation. Other than that it's Queen next to the King Houdini.

They are both good :)

​@@phalhappy8612 Sure)You welcome to learn Houdini around a couple years)) If someone learns soft this is doesn't mean he needs al features like Rigging and Simulation Sculpt... As for me, it's nice and comfortable to use Blender for modeling, animation, UV. For other stuff, I use another tools.

Hence why we covered the auto-save feature early on :D

I havent used maya in years, is it really that buggy?

@@stephencurah1059 blender fanboys trashing on a superior software. I have the ocassional crash, but thats cuz im running 100 things at once

Every software has bugs and crashes, don't pretend that Zbrush, Blender or Houdini never had those, Maya however is the Industry Standard and it's more powerful than any 3D Software out there including 3ds Max, all your favourite Movies, Games,Series..etc all were made with Maya as the main DCC and of course 3ds Max too :)

Well, first of all, I don't use Blender but Maya. Then I don't say other softwares don't bug, but Maya is incredibly buggy. It happens quite often (to me) that the undo queue becomes disabled, or that a scene crashes without any particular reason. I know Maya is a good, that's why I'm learning it, but it's very buggy for a so expensive software

You can definitely use a big chunk of the course for LT! The main concepts are the same.

@@FlippedNormals You took too long to answer I already picked up the course. Awesome stuff :)

Do you want to catch one/couple of video tutorials and become a pro artist from scratch? You are a pretty funny guy :D Small spoiler: it'll take YEARS of hard work. Feel free to not sleep while studying :)

​@@ColdKei Thanks for you comment 👍 and so you mean to say you need to be pro artist to get work in the industry..which indeed will take lot of years!!!! what if I just want to sell models online with good topology will this tutorial will help me or will I have to watch more tutorials to get going?

I customized mine way better on the eyes allot darker

It's very overwhelming in the beginning, but once you learn what features you actually need, it's pretty easy to use :)

@@FlippedNormals yeah you are correct but the software is very intimidated to me.

You'll be waiting a long time.

hehehehe...forever

You won't hurt yourself learning the industry standard. Quite the other way around, you'll actually be able to get a job. And Maya is a complete package, you don't need dozens of addons to compensate for lacking basic functionnality. And you can also do proper subdiv modeling because it doesn't crap itself with 10k polys in edit mode.

Okay fanboy, this video is not meant for you ;)

The 'issues' with the Maya UI is that there are so many features, which is scary when you're new. The more experienced you get, you learn to just focus on the things you need instead of all the buttons and features. Once you work using marking menus, the UI is quite nice.

I dont know dude. I've been a maya user for 6 years. And found blender through those youtube comments. I hated it in the past, but 2.8 is something else. I used to write comments like you, I recommend to atleast give it a try. I still use maya for animation though.

Look at it this way. What you're saying presumes all those artists are gonna be paying for the licenses themselves. Most artists who enter the industry shall eventually be working at a company, presumably one which can afford the software and licensing costs for these tools because they're gonna be making back a lot more money from the work they do, so the individual artists won't exactly be paying for any of it, so cost isn't a concern for an artist in that scenario. Secondly, all Autodesk tools come with a student version (I think it lasts for 3 years) which are feature complete minus commercial usage, so you can just download it and get started right away and use the complete range of the toolset, and that's where FlippedNormals comes in to get you through that. :) So once you learn maya, completely for free, and prepare a portfolio of work from it, then send it off to studios and once you get a job, you can continue using it without paying a single dollar lol (this is probably more situational but you get the gist). So the cost shouldn't be a concern unless you want to start a studio yourself, or wanna freelance and the employer isn't gonna be paying for the software when you're freelancing. This is probably why Autodesk started the Indie tier recently, to start attracting/retaining the freelancer and independent artist userbase.

rutracker.org thank me later, and don't act like you dont pirate shit :)

Student versions are free, studios pay for the license later. I don't see an issue.

@@AdamMann3D A lot of artists don't go the college/university route and instead self teach with resources available online like channels like this...so not everyone has access to the free for students option.

@@anab0lic you dont need to be in college or even in a modeling course to get the student licences. I'm in high school and got one in like 5 mins.

they are looks like feminist sjw shitting on everything they can't touch.

Most Blender users are uneducated and they don't know the real difference between the two Softwares, they think because they got a new UI & PBR engine..etc that would make Blender better, little did they know that Blender is weak and all that gargabe they add to it won't help it to reach to the same polished & professional level that other Softwares have, it's more for kids to start learn about it 3D but once they grow up to adults then they switch to Maya.

@@InnerAnimate Someone doesn't get laid... No but honestly if you have to bring SJWs into this (it's baffling that you use the term unironically btw) you're a very stupid and irrational person that probably should't even get to vote and will definitely get nowhere in the industry. I'm sorry to burst your bubble but even though the requirement isn't very high, artists are almost always smart enough to be left-leaning. It must feel bad to know that pretty much every artist you look up to thinks you are a sad prick in terms of your worldview.

@@ALGHOTTE Maya just got the ability to use the GPU for rendering and still doesn't support all CPU features, so let's not talk about essential features being added late. I'm a Houdini user myself so I don't really give a fuck about Maya or Blender but I have to say that I'd much rather use Blender than Maya for anything except rigging and animation. Everything in Blender is so much better designed (in terms of UI consistency Blender is better even than Houdini but it doesn't have nearly as many features so it's to be expected) and thanks to the hotkey-centric workflow it's much faster to use as well. The fact that there's an entire mode dedicated to edge sliding in Maya instead of being a hotkey or whatever is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. The only reason why Maya is even on the map is because of its animation workflow.

You are.. .. fine.
