You have to register to dl the video, but it may be easier to watch a video than to read an english tut. Ja?

Wie geht's?

Ganz gut soweit.

Problem with dl vids is my ****ing connection......56k suckzzz

So i´ve got to go through the tuts

Falcon13 · 07-01-2004, 06:40 AM

Gee found a pretty good beginner tut.
It`s for maya 4.5

but it´s pretty step by step.

http://www.medialab.chalmers.se/tutorials/maya/

If you youst want to know how to create meshes start with lesson 5.
All previous is "just" creating and animating a ball, but it´s fun so try it.

Falcon13 · 07-01-2004, 10:38 AM

Found another one

http://uj.furrycat.net/modelling.html

The introduction to Maya is only for total newbies (like me)

it´s for version 4, but really step by step and with a hell of images

Didn´t check out the other tuts busy on this one

SuperApe · 08-11-2004, 11:37 AM

Okay, not really a tutorial site, and not just Maya at all.

But, this is the biggest CG forum I've seen yet. Several
hundred professionals and talented amatuers online at
any one time. Loads of sections on each 3D package,
including a huge one for Maya. (that's why I'm posting
it here)

CGTalk Forums

At initial glace, this looks like a pretty wide range of
questions are being asked, from novice (kinda) to highly
advanced. (Good MEL scripting stuff, next gen graphics
techniques, etc.)

I'm sure this would be a good resource to search when
all else fails, but it might be a little much for casual browsing.

OMG
Tnx SuperApe. Thats one hell of a link.

I've written a Deform Pipe Tutorial for Maya.

SuperApe · 08-08-2005, 12:44 PM

Sweet!

G-BUS · 08-09-2005, 02:39 AM

Hey mango, how about you update your first post with all the links provided throughout the topic? It'd make searching for them a little bit easier, especially for newcomers here.

Oh, and I've been visiting CGTalk occasionally for a while and it features some of the purdiest 3D art I've ever seen. If you wanna see the kind of skills no sane person could ever attain, don't forget to look at the "3D art showcase".
