Originally posted by Olorin I have been teaching myself Maya from tutorial the last 2 months. I can do a simple model and a fair render of it now. Making skeletons, deformers and animation is still far away. Maybe that can give you some insight. You last example is no where near perfect, but I guess that is about as much as one person can squeeze out doing everything. Yeah, that kinda puts things into perspective for me. Thanks. Regarding time and dedication, I do have a lot of both. However, I was wondering if someone who can use Maya professionally tell me whether to just go for it or forget it. What has me hesitant right now is, if that last example is the BEST anyone can do alone, then I might as well focus on live action for my ideas.
