General 3D discussion thread

I've taken a few classes in Maya, (I'm currently in an animation class) and I like it a lot. It's pretty overwhelming at first since there are so many billion little parameters to set with stuff, but after a bit of experiementing and some help from the instructors and tutorials, it's not too bad. I have yet to experiement with MAX, but I'll be taking an intro class in the fall.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I guess I could post some stuff, but I'm still so new to it, that none of it is very impressive at all. I really just need to practice a lot more.

I mostly stick with polygon modeling instead of nurbs or sub-d's for now. I'm trying to learn to model for games, keeping a low poly-count budget. I would however, like to get to the point of doing photorealistic stuff.

How ya doing, buddy?

In case nobody's seen it, you can check out an animation project that I made in Maya in my thread.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Nice, a 3 legged walk cycle. I bet that's a bitch. I think it's arms move kinda funny how they bend in simultaneously at the elbows. But he's your alien, so you decide how he normally moves.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
