Anybody know of some really good tutorial sites or tips?
The only experience I have with 3d is my inate ability to use Auto CADs 3d capabilities quite well.

R . T . F . M .

It's an interesting idea, READING THE FUCKING MANUAL, but I've found a great deal of success with it. As a technique, you PICK UP THE FUCKING BOOK and READ IT.

Might try that out.

...unless you didn't buy it, which is clearly the case here.

But I'd rather download a copy for free off the net and then expect people who have spent their own time and money learning it to help me.

You mean I can't do that here?

If indeed you actually BOUGHT a copy of maya (tho i find that to be unlikely seeing how you wouldn't go BUYING it unless you knew how to use it)....the manuals have tutorials in it that can basically teach you the in's and out's of Maya like no other source.

A few to many slimies there Lux...bought a copy of Maya, doubtful...where would you have gotten the 20K+ to buy it...I WISH I had that amount of money to throw around.

I quite agree there with you Skaarjj, anyone in there right mind would want 20+ to throw around especially on Maya or Softimage for that matter.......we can only dream at the moment.

Well, depending on the version, Auto CAD isn't exactly cheap so maybe Jack does have a few grand burning a hole in his pocket.

Well, I learned AutoCAD in the CAD lab at school And you can get some versions of Maya and Soft for between $6k and 12k, not that that's a whole lot cheaper...

The base package of Maya (Maya Complete) only runs about 5-7k. It doesn't have any of the really cool features, though (cloth, etc).

The tutorials that come with Maya are the best way to learn the package. They're very comprehensive. They're often deleted from the warez disks, of course, as they are quite large.

Actually...the cheapest way to get Maya is to buy maya Builder...which runs around 2k/3k....it doesnt have a render engine..but has most the same features as complete...and costs a LOT less. It is ideal for learning how to use the program for those who just cant afford it.

Maya 4 shipped today...Cant wait for it to arrive so i can enjoy learning all the new work arounds i will surely need to avoid the usual bugs that occur with new versions!

Semantics. I don't consider Maya Builder to be 'Maya', per se. It's a package that implements a subset of the functionality of 'real' Maya, primarily for game developers.

Kind of like Inspire 3D is a subset of LightWave, but Newtek didn't try to con people into thinking they were buying the real deal by using the same name
