I still don't get why no one mention Softimage. I thought it was some obsoleted artsy Lightwxve shit but after I tried it I found it's really a combination of Max and Maya. I mean, the stuffs I complained in Max and Maya all went away in XSI, and it really got all the good stuffs from both of them. I know, poly modeling…

So why does it say it? http://prntscr.com/7gnbc1 http://prntscr.com/7gnbek As you can see I haven't accidentally opened Maya LT by mistake. I don't even…

Hi All! I'm looking for solutions to speed up my UVing workflow. One method in particular that I am looking for is a way to keep my mirrored stacked shells together while using the layout tool in maya. (or similar method) Does anyone know any hacks or tools that already exist in maya for this? My models are usually mostly…
Look up "Mike Hermes". A really great channel for getting familiar with Maya in a fun way. Often times if I want to learn something new in Maya, like maybe how to use curves to build geometry, first I just google it, but many times Mike Hermes videos will be the first thing to come up. Usually I'll watch that to get a good…
