Introduction to Maya - Modeling Fundamentals Vol 1
This course will look at the fundamentals of modeling in Maya with an emphasis on creating good topology. We'll look at what makes a good model in Maya and why objects are modeled in the way they are.

It only becomes 2.5d when you go out of edit mode and drop it to the canvas or go into projection master

Yeah man,

I get what you mean, it would make sense, I think its just a different way of looking at a problem, say the way a rotary engine works compared to a V or inline (both completly different ways or doing the same thing using the same basic components)


Newer versions of software should be exciting!

I like the new polygon split tool btw.. i don't know if this was pisslbe i didn't saw it mentioned in the what's new but you can just split and edge.. and skip a few and it will split the edges in between automatically :attn:

Of all the things to worry about.

How many of you are using 64 bit machines to gain any advantage in that area. Im not for sure. It cool if you are a production house at it hammer and tongs but most guys here arent.

As great as Maya is, this version is just a number with odds and sods in it, I cannot justify the upgrade yet.

Unless you're running a realtime devhouse and want to import your proprietary engine to the viewport... (changing your perspective viewport for your game engine's perspective viewport)
