Autodesk MAYA 2011

[xolara]

Hello all

I am trying to get started on some 3d image manipulation, modeling and animation etc

I was wondering if any of u have any skills in this and might be able to try and guide me through the most basic steps of maya

for those who dosnt know what maya is

Maya is a highly complicated 3d animation and modeling program as example maya had been used in the making of avatar

this is something you can make in maya if you ofc is skilled enough <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->

Oh my gosh, that is a beautiful picture.
I have never heard of maya, but it looks like it can do some neat stuff. <!-- s:o --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_surprised.gif" alt=":o" title="Surprised" /><!-- s:o -->

Well i have been working on another sword for like 1½ hour or so

and i kinda like the result so far with this one (Ofc still detailing,Rendering and texturizing)

Wow. This looks exactly like Autodesk 3ds max 8.
Anyway, The sword is looking really good! <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s --> Can't wait to see the finished product.

Hey this is my sword when all mapped up <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s -->
(i know i can do some more about it so i look more "clean")



and here is the original (keep in mind this is not 3d this is a sword you can buy from the internet)

Oh wow!
That's really nice! I would like to see that implemented into a game! <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_biggrin.gif" alt="" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s -->
However, Right above the hilt it looks kinda cluttered to me, but I'm sure you'll fix that when you clean the whole thing up.
Great work!
