Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Minecraft

Anyone play it?

I started playing it about 2 months ago and I'm totally addicted. I haven't gotten very far because I keep screwing up my pit mines and rage-restarting user added image So far my only great achievement was one of my pit mines. Was epically huge, 30 wide x 60 long x 60 deep. Was gonna build the castle from Super Mario 64 with the resources, but then I fell in lava and lost all my diamond tools and rage-deleted the world file user added image

Or you could just build something in Maya... better looking, faster, more satisfying, and the skills are applicable to a career.... just sayin' user added image

No, I haven't tried minecraft... I could be totally wrong about it, but I'd rather not get sucked into something like that user added image

i've only seen people playing it at work.
as much fun as it looked i didn't join in
have you seen some of the things people have done with minecraft using the kinect?

have you seen Terraria on steam? its basically a 2D minecraft with a bigger focus on adventuring. i haven't played it either and don't plan on it, but it sold heaps on the first day... the devs basically made half a million on the first day and they only started the project in jannuary... insane...




that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"

Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D

@Stuart - Building something in Maya is less satisfying to me, in Minecraft I'm on someone else's field so to speak. Plus the whole gathering resources thing makes it more difficult/fun user added image

@Chirone - Haven't seen anything they've done with Kinect, but I've seen some of the random epic things done. Such as building the Earth and stuff.

Never heard of Terraria, does look kinda cool though
