Photoshop was too easy to master, and just watching all those CG movies inspired me.

Studying art, getting interested in animation. Then I came from traditional 2d to flash, then to after effects and I guess the logical end had to be maya. Still enjoy 2d handmade stuff though. For me the most interesting animtions combine the two.

my brother and a few friends have been doing CG for a couple of years. though i was too lazy to give it a shot. i would mostly just watch them.
when i watched cg films like incredibles and finding nemo they inspired me too learn. but the day when i watched spirits within i was determined to learn this new skill..

A pint of example is worth a gallon of advice!!

a year and a half ago I saw someone making a 3d animation with maya, and I got PLE soon after, and, 1 year ago, I bought a licence for non commercial use for Maya 6.5

hey mattTheMan, how much was the student license? I can use maya in college, but I cannot trasfer the ple files to the full version so I can't really work at home. I was thinking about getting a student license if it's not tooo much.
And do you know if you can still publish work you have created with a student license as long as you don't make any profit, say entering it in a film festival.

And I don't know how much the license costed- I got it for my BDay and I get in trouble for asking how much my presents costed... but im sure it wasnt more than $300

I actually found a list, but it is a bit more pricy then that at least in the uk. Unlimited is like 300 pound, its a bit much, "cough" "cough". And complete is like 240...
I"ll see.

I had been working as a traditional painter - By the end of 2004 I was pretty disillusioned with making paintings and then a pretty severe case of carpal tunnel syndrome put me out of commission for three or four months. Around mid-2005 my girlfriend took a part-time course in maya and so we ended up buying a PC and a copy of 6.5. After watching her work with the program I realised that maya was the way forward and the rest is history...

I guess watching Final Fantasy CG movies really inspired me and all other CG ones, plus I have always wanted to make an animation of my own. Although i'm learning maya by myself as a freshmen in college, I regret the fact that I didn't know about Maya untill 6 to 7 months ago from a friend >_<...that's why i'm doing my best to learn it in every way that i can to catch up what i have been missing out for the past years...T_T

9 months into Maya...and still learning...

I was always into media type things, like making flash animations, web design and digital art in general, and I wanted to go up a step so the only logical thing was CG. My cousins husband works in the video game industry and works alot in maya that is how I got Unlimited. I am very happy that I am learning this skill as a freshman in highschool so hopefully by the time I graduate I will have an impressive enough portfolio
