Re: Maya - Help finding tutorials.
The tutorials I used when learning Maya are long gone, but for the most part the help docs are pretty solid for learning the interface. Also check out "the area" autodesks official community site, they have a lot of tutorials and self help stuff. Gnoman also has some beginner Maya DVD's from what I remember. Good luck! -
Re: From blender to MAX or MAYA??
yeah i would definitely try them both, you can get both of them for free with a .edu email free for 3 years as well as mudbox and xsi and all the autodesk goodies, just get in there, follow the basic tutorials that show up on the popup menu when you open the program and then kinda decide which one feels better -
Re: Tri vs quad modeling questions
Thank you both very much. Would you say I'd be at a disadvantage learning Maya if I was interested in the gaming industry, instead of Max?

Re: So... Vista Ultimate x64 and Max9 = nonono
Hmm - yeah, the people from Autodesk that I've talked with all say that Max 9 isn't officially supported on Vista yet so I imagine it's probably hit or miss depending on what type of hardware you've got, etc. You can bet, though, that they'll release a patch for it pretty soon after the release of Vista. -Ben -
Re: Metal Specular Maps - Your Methods
Ben you could probably use the Edit Normals mod, then use RTT to bake a normalmap. But Autodesk didn't really do a great job providing options in that modifier, like there's no soft-select. I think it'd be horrendous to have to rotate all those normals one by one. Hey CB that's pretty cool, I like the hatching on the globe. -
