teach me

do you use maya?

Well I know the basics and everything. I made chairs, dining table and room, a gramophone, Lamp. Just Modeling a character.

its a rather labour intensive thing to just teach it will take weeks to learn. When I have a little more free time I would probably post up some tips on maya modelling

huh. I see. this is what I did before http://wolfgerlion.deviantart.com/gallery/43689173

judging by that, I take it you know the basics of modelling and rendering, the only part you really need to know now if organics, rigging and animation

ah

I tried blender in the distant past. Back in 2007, I found it very user-unfriendly and couldnt learn the interface so I switched to using maya. Things are probably different now, but Yes. because maya is a commercial software and not public domain, its got alot more features than blender and is arguably better streamlined.

Still. if you ask someone who has used blender for 6 years the would probably say that maya is hard to use and user-unfriendly so I honestly dont know. It maybe worth your time to get a trial copy of maya just to test it out.


As for character rigging. because I've done almost 70 characters in my 6 years of using maya, I have pretty much nailed rigging down to a science. But yes. starting up in it is definately a headache and one of the steeper learning curves.
