Yes, i agree with that too, but, i need free books to download, because in Portugal we dont have those books, so, if you could me send links to learn, step-by-step will be cool!!Originally posted by XRS

Hey, I think a good thing to start with is to check out documentation that comes with maya. It explains you about basics of iterface, modeling, etc.
When you will have Maya opened, press F1 on your keybord,and a new site will open in your Internet explorer/firefox/whatever you use. Then start reading it, you will see you can learn a lot from it.
Also, when you will be in maya, check for "Help" menu at the top, and select "Tutorials", it will open a site wit all the tutorials you need to have a basics of Maya.
Finally, check out this site:
https://www.learningmaya.com
You have lots and lots of tutorials there.
Hope this can help you
Cheers,
Zocky

I also highly recommend the training dvd's you can get from alias. I've got a couple now and they get you up to speed pretty fast.

failing that just get stuck in there and have a go. You could spend time reading about the interface but I found it easier just to get my hands dirty and have a go!
on the subject of books: I've never bought a maya book. I borrowed some from the school library but I didn't really use them. You can find enough info on the web in the form of written and video tutes that you dont really need a book. And for the record no more talk of "downloading free books" it's skating the thin line of piracy talk.good luck and post here if you have questions or need help, that's what we're here for.

Thats actually how i really started with 3D. Just open the software, create a test project and just start clickingOriginally posted by Pure_Morning

First i simply created cubes/spheres/cones...etc and simply played around.
Then i found it intresting to download free models from the net and look at the build of the mesh and tweak thinks abit.
Yeah, but no but yeah but no....
