You are fooling around with us or not? Maya was released on April 19 this year, the cheapest version is about $2,000 and your parents got a hold of a second hand version after only 10 days? Two days ago you didn't know what to buy. Your parents spend a lot of money and only after having the program you ask us if it's any good?

Btw, Maya is a good program from what I've heard of it, but I've heard that it's a program that's very focused on creating 3D in a team, so it contains a lot of extras that are related to this and that tends to make the program less easier to use than most "single user" programs.
 
Um, first off, Yes, this is a PhotoShop site/board... however... it should also be pointed out here that this is the 3D Programs forum there MsOz, and thus I would think that it is rather the appropriate place for a PSG member to be asking of info relating to said 3D app and/or tuts for such...

The Forums Index, for this particular 3D Programs forum states... " Anything to do with using any 3D program"

And since Mark was probably the one who wrote such, I would kinda figure that this is word.... eh ?


Next... Since none of us really know the circumstances surrounding badboyXL's aquisition of said app, so to be suggesting anything other than what is claimed by said member would seem to me to be a tad rash, not to mention all out deflamatory... what ever happened to "the benifit of the doubt" or "innocent until proven otherwise".... sheesh...

Carry on badboyXL... I for one, am totaly interested in all things 3D, and totaly look forward to viewing worx done by any 3D members here, various screenshots of the apps, and wireshots... gotta have those wireshots :)
 
Msoz this is the `3D program? forum ?
what?s the deal dude :D

and john, i can?t believe that i typed maya ?6? that
was supposed to be maya 4

when i was searching for tutorials.. i saw everywhere about maya 6
so i guess it got stuck in my mind lol..

i double checked it.. and yes it?s maya 4 :(

but if maya 6 is better i should get it ;)

badboyxl..
 
hey gidge..

ill show you some whire-shots very soon..

any special requests ?
(i think i am going to focus on abstract designs)

haha, typo's happen man... you are forgiven by all those who relish 3D :D :D

Hey, no particular requests from me, other than whatever you deem appropriate and cool :D Just have fun doin the 3D thing, and show when your ready... :)

All I said was "You are fooling around with us or not?". I didn't suggest anything; I just wanted to know if he left out a few details. A fair comment, backed up with several arguments. To call my comment rash or inflammatory (that's the way to spell it btw) is in my opinion very inappropriate. :\

Thanks, now it makes a lot more sense badboyXL

Have fun with Maya. 3D is a lot of fun once you get the hang of it. :}
 
Erik here it is !

looks very cool right ? :D
 
Lots of options to play with badboyXL, that's something I always like. We don't want to get bored too early, don't we! :D

Btw, your experience with Photoshop will still be usefull. Lots of people use it for textures or to add minor adjustments to the final rendered image.
 
Thanks. Looks impressive! Hope you got a good manual, and that you can find some good forums (probably cgtalk.com will have one)

By this time next year, you have your own helicopter to move around when you decide to leave your own company (BBProductions Unlimited) to find some inspiration on some tropical island.
Never try to be good: only dabest will do!

Congrats Badboy XL :righton:


Maya is a very good 3D application to have.Do you have Maya complete or is it Unlimited?



As Erik said find some good tutorials and manuals and dig in.If you have broad band there a number of free video tutes for Maya floating around,and if you want to spend some more money there are quite a few commercial dvds etc you can purchase as well.In fact go to CG Talk or a Maya forum somewhere and introduce yourself and ask about learning materials,it could save you a lot of money,usually 1 out of 3 books will be really good and helpfull and if someone can lead you to that 1 book straight away,then all the better :)


Enjoy your polygons and nurbs modelling :righton:


Stu.
 
Kiwi thnx for your reply..

i got "unlimited".. i should check out those forums right now !
it's a very complicated program.. in my opinion :D

well i am all new to this 3D-modeling so i need to
learn some basics first.. it's all very time-consuming..
but i hope i'll get the hang of it soon.. !

and i will post my models in here.. so you guys can have
a look at it..

Nah, I think you're confused. Maya Unlimited 4 was $17,000 years ago, but maybe you were lucky, because a while later they brought the price down to "only" $7,000. Even today you won't find Maya 4 Unlimited for a few bucks, since you can use it to upgrade to Maya 6 for "only" $2,500 instead of the $6,999.

You probably made a mistake and read somewhere something like "unlimited" posibilities, right? :\
 
john this time i am sure about it !

i really got unlimited.. and my parents didn't pay much for it..
i can tell you that,..
