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.
How old was everyone when they began to learn Maya? And where has it got you today? I know every program Except 3d proggy's and start a Maya course at Alias in Toronto this winter. Just wondering where everyone is at.
I started learning Maya in early 2002 when the school I was teaching at switched over. As for 3D in general, I started working in 3D in 1994. I was 19. Today, I'm working as an animator in the game industry.
i got my hands on xsi demo when i was 21-ish... and i think i trashed it when i got it in the mail, but then i saw adds in a videogame mag that they use xsi in a lot of games... then that sort of sparked my interest in 3d. that was 2 yrs ago.
i've been using maya ever since.... and the 3d community is very small where i am, so all the support i had and trainning was mostly from forums and books.
I started about 4-5 years ago i guess with Bryce and Poser and got into it. Went to Lightwave about 2 years ago... didnt like it. And went on to lightwave last year. So i guess i started around 17,18 years old. Now im 19... so not too long now.

I started with Real 3D on Amiga 500... 1991, 15 years old. So after 13 years I should be good then... hehe.. but I have had some breaks for some years here and there, and only do this as a hobby. Started with Maya this summer, and I learnt more this summer than I learnt in the last 13 years regarding 3D. Probably cause of the excellent program and this excellent site.
I started 2 years ago (age 21) when I went to bournmouth and did the masters degree. Now working full time at framestore-cfc on my third movie (doom). Been using maya for 2 1/2 years now
I was always fascinated by special effects and CGI in movies and actually only found out which programs were used to make it about 1 year ago. I decided I wanted to learn a 3D app in the hope of maybe making my own short or two in the future so i am learning Maya from books and tutorials and have been doing it now for 6 months. I am way too old at 42 years old to have aspirations of a career in 3D, only wish that when I went to college to get my qualifications as an electrical engineer way back when, that 3D was a career choice OH to be young again ...hehe.
cool, I got the PLE last year and have been fooling with tutorials off and on. I'm real excited to start this course, getting a nice new comp for it as well.
