I've been going through your Unreal tutorials and absolutely love them, from the simple, comprehensive explanations to the affable northern accent and spatterings of humour. Thought I'd check out Maya so I randomly googled tutorials and this popped up - I got this stupid grin on my face the moment I realised it was you and I instantly realised how much I was going to enjoy this tutorial.
I'm glad you found me again. Hope you enjoy Maya :)
Can I use maya on Nvidea 940 mx 4gb
This 2 hour video is not only as good, but actually better than the Maya subject taught at my university. You are so organized, clear and professional, yet approachable and understandable. I am absolutely amazed by the quality of this tutorial! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video!
I'm glad you liked my video and that it has helped you out. Thanks for the kind words
Agreed, really fantastic job.
Siber try zooming in further, usually when you cant click inside objects its because its actually selecting the outer object (the room). Even though the front walls can't be seen, they can still be selected. Just zoom as far in as possible and see if you can select it there.
or you can press "4" for wireframe view, this will accurately select the object you are clicking, even if zoomed out and inside another object. to get back to normal view, press 5 on keyboard.
Very great, but on minute 37, whe ur going to manipulate the vertices row draguing them up, my cone deformes in a strange way. the vertices i've selected go instaniusli to the ground or to the upper part of the inicial cube. why is that? I'm using Maya 2017 by the way
after 5 minutes of video I stopped my adblocker so that this guy can earn something for this priceless tutorial

mate i need your help
OnlineMediaTutor | Maya modeling & animation tutorials! dude needs you :)
Resinds .P sup?
@@GameDevAcademy Can you pleaseeeeeee do a tutorial like this one on Curves (EP CV etc) which takes the "beginners" from start till the end in just one video. This tutorial has helped me GREATLY in understanding polygons. Would you please help us understand nurbs/curves the same way? THANKS
PLWASE HELP! I'm Stuck on step 33 & 34. I am not able to add glow or blue light coming from projector i DOES NOT SHOW IN preview.... Use Spot Light with fog to create light cascading from projector, Add a glow to the sun material
This is great, one thing for the 2019 version, is to DBL click the select tool pointer and enable camera-based selection, or you wont be able to select objects inside the room unless you zoom in past the invisible outer walls of the original "ROOM" cube.
I also had this issue.. And yes after looking around and try enable camera-based selection, it works..
I've found that enabling Automatic camera-based selection to be quite handy since it automatically toggles it when in shaded/wireframe. Just my two cents since at 37:38 the back vertices were not selecting for me!
THANK YOU. I was pullin' my hair out trying to figure out why I couldn't select anything. You should try making your own channel! lol
I can't figure out how to change the renderer at 1:06:47. I can't see the texture when I apply it to my pillars. Please help!
@@yatharthgarg9631 same here if we could have a bit of help would be greatly appreciated
After 13 years of working in the veterinary field and finally getting burnt out, I decided that I needed to pursue something new in life. Something that I loved and could see myself doing until the end of times. And by end of times, I mean death. My death, to be more precise. Anyway, long story short, I settled on 3D modeling and design. Initially and for the longest time, I was as lost as a cat with its head stuck in a Cheez-It box that its owner was standing in the corner laughing at and filming for all of the internet world to see, and I wanted to give up. I was contemplating going back to my eternal and apparently inescapable future in the dog/cat world. Then somebody on Reddit mentioned your RUclips channel, which led to this video, which absolutely changed my life. I kid not. A couple months later, and I am 3D-modeling like a crazy man riding the Tropical Skittles rainbow. I am doing things with Maya I never thought I'd be capable of, and it all started right here. This is paws down the best Maya beginner's tutorial video on the planet of Earth, and I don't doubt that it has inspired many more like myself. So I guess all I'm really trying to say is...well, thank you. Your ability to educate and retain the viewer's focus is absolutely gold, and the added bonus of your awesome personality/humor is a breath of fresh air compared to any other tutorial any of us will ever find by anyone else. Ever. Cheers, and I look forward to the future of your channel.
Same here man, I'm 29, been working as a web developer/programmer for 6 years, I know very little about 3D modeling, I have no skills at all in drawing, but I decided to leave programming for good to pursue a career as a 3d environment artist... Hope I don't starve to death, but I don't care about money now, I don't wanna spend my days looking at the clock, waiting for the time to leave work, and looking for the weekends, had enough, I'd rather starve by doing something I love
haha nice. I also worked in the veterinary field before. Then I decided to do what I love. Creating stuff :)
Antoni Tescaro how are things going man?
Yeah how is it going now?
What happened to the cat
My first experience with Maya. Very in depth tutorial for newbies. I loved it. Thanks!
This is by far the best, clear and the most accurate tutorial I've ever seen. Gets you going in just less than 2 hours. Your help is much appreciated, and I'll be sure to spread the word. Thank you!
Many Thanks, Shane. Excellent tutorial.
Way better than so many of these 'intro' tutorials which spend 30 mins + going through tons of set-up stuff, this option, that option, blah blah blah.
Straight in and creating something in the first few minutes.
Your experience as a teacher really shines through.
I hope your students know how lucky they are to have you as their guide.
Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.
great video with clear precise instructions, I'm lucky enough to have this guy as a tutor at college/uni, looking forward to learning from him.
"Lucky?" We'll see...
I hope this filled in a few gaps.
+OnlineMediaTutor | Maya modeling & animation tutorials! Ok so I got to the point of rendering a shot of the projector light and its not working, the screen is just black
Zoom in
+OnlineMediaTutor | Maya modeling & animation tutorials! hi thanks, after a while I'd figured it out cheers
+OnlineMediaTutor | Maya modeling & animation tutorials! couple things I struggled to get right, the solar glare just would work, and the Earth texture seems very bad pixilation , doesn't look like earth on mine.
I'm only 45 minutes in and honestly I never got bored. Not only that but you've helped me *Understand* not imitate but understand Maya. You have no idea how thankful I am. At College I've been imitating whatever my prof. Does without knowing what I'm doing and I would often fall asleep in class so I really needed this. Thank you very much dude, keep doing what you're doing and also Understanding is better than imitation. I see that now. THANKS!!
Happy to report that I was successfully able to follow along using Maya 2018 without any problems to complete the project. Enjoyed the tutorial so much that I became a Patreon. Highly recommend this series to anyone looking to get into 3D modeling.
Best speed for beginners on Maya, most others are fast at like expert speed and title their videos as beginner. Makes us as beginners more stress. Thank you! 👍
I swear this is the best tutorial I have ever watched. Please never stop posting these.
+Brian Brown I'll do my best :)
just started a visual effects course and my mind was blown with all the info. So glad I found your channel. Thanks for showing us dude :)
Love your tutoring!!! Followed the cabin modeling and am now done with this one!! You are the best teacher and most comprehensive person I’ve seen. I am completely new to maya and UE4 and you are responsible for me being totally hooked now!! These programs really open avenues for creativity!!! Thanks Shane!!
This guy is amazing. Not only is the video separated in parts but the step-by-step teaching is so easy to understand and simple to follow compared to the other videos on youtube where they throw all that different kind of information all at once... ;^; Thank you so much! >_< *subscribes* *__*
+Sayura Tsukino Hello you can download any tutorials you want for free lynda gnomon digital tutor's and edumy are free in this page facebook.com/Tutorial-1698817543698726/?__mref=message_bubble
Thank so much for this video! The entire thing was very professional without being robotic, it was very informative, very useful, and it had fun little challenges. ^_^ I came from Blender to Maya and I thought the change would be jarring, but thanks to this great video it's not been that bad at all.
Also, the task manager meme is my struggle.
Honestly one of the best tutorials I've ever seen on RUclips. This is TreeHouse and Udemy quality. I can't believe this was free. Great job, this helped me out SOOOO much.
Super amazing step by step video!I love step by step video tutorials because you see and get talked through everything! I never heard of you till I searched 'Maya'. You do a great job explaining.
Yay! Shane actually taught me to use Maya along with a lot of other useful media related subjects a few years back when I was studying. I can say he is a great teacher! Great video :D
+Kirsty Johnson Nice to see you haven't forgotten your awesome teacher! Hope you're well :)
Ok so 43 minutes and I have to stop here for a moment, like the video and say thank you and congratulations. You, sir, are a great teacher. Yes, you are right, I'm learning fast, but because you are explaining it just great.
This is my first contact with Maya and I already feel like I can go and start creating my spaceship, but I´ll resist the urge and go back to finish this master class.
+RogueSysEs Rogue System en Español I'm glad you appreciate the effort I've put into making this video. Hope you enjoy the rest :)
started a 3d modeling class we use this program, I am grateful to watch and learn now I won't look like an idiot not knowing anything about Maya. Thank you for the video!!!
I have to say that this is the most accessible Maya tutorial I have found. You are very engaging and entertaining, and I love the way you explain each step while still giving "exercises" to try on our own. Easy sub, keep it up!
dude is a straight shooter, best video introductory, better than a book for beginners, thanks i subscribed.
I'm glad you like my work :)
I tried to dabble in Maya 4 years ago and it was so confusing so I gave up! But I wanted to try again and I have come so far with your tutorials. I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart Shane!!!! Keep up the good work and I will support you throughout this journey! Hopefully other will click on the SHOW MORE tab and donate to you so that you may continue to do more great tutorials! My Pledge of $10 a month is nothing considering all that I have learned from you!!! Heck... I spend that much on Chick-Fil-A...LOL!
Hi Mandy. Thank you so much for your kind comment and for your support. I'll m sorry that you struggled with Maya in the past but I'm so pleased that you've been able to give it another go with my tutorial. I'd also like to thank you for choosing to support me on Patreon. I've said this s few times but I never expected anyone to join the Patreon campaign when I set it up and it blows my mind every day that kind people such a yourself are willing to show their appreciation and support on this way. I'm sure that you'll go from strength to strength with Maya now you've managed to work through the basics :)
Also, I have no idea what chick-fil-a is but I'm sure it's $10 well spent ;)
LOL...it's a fast food restaurant in the US!
You are the best! Just keep doing what you're doing!!!
Question: It wouldn't allow me to select by dragging material to object so I have been click in my outliner box to select then dragged the material to the selection but it will not allow me to choose the floor or the front of the projector... Is there a remedy for this?
Wow! Thanks a lot!
I've been the reckless "Trial & Error" kinda dude when I learned using Maya, which resulted in insanely uneven knowledge and skills, which of course later on made it harder to patiently go through all the basic tutorials and info, that mainly consists of what I already know, in order to fill the endless amounts of small gaps that are missing some very essential info.
Your tutorial is perfect. The stuff I already knew got fleshed out from great pointers on how to improve the workflow on that same knowledge, which in turn helped me to finally stay interested in following intently and voila: there came those small but essential pieces I have been previously missing.
Great presentation, pace and detail. Great job!
Gonna have to remember this clip when I can afford to donate. People like you DESERVE to make a living via RUclips.
Until then, my like has to suffice.
Man you saved my behind--I'm a 20 year Max user and your tutorial is really good and it's making me feel better about how long it'll take to learn Maya. Thanks, pal!
I love how he compliments the viewer although he doesn't know me but I like it :)
If anyone noticed that the control panel was the wrong way around, you will need to go into "place2dTexture" and muck around with the "Rotate Frame" if it needs to be rotated and if the image needs to be flipped, in "Repeat UV", the second box should be -1.
I am only 14 years old and Iv'e been watching videos about animation, editing and all sorts since I was somewhere between the age of 12 and 13 and I have got to say, this is THE best tutorial I have ever seen. I would love to be an animator one day or probably a motion designer and all that but what I can point out here is that this video has really been a stepping up stone for me. Since I basically spent a year self-studying photoshop, premiere pro, flash and most of the adobe editing softwares, I decided to take on my next step which is to study 3D animation. Maya is so far the only 3D editing Software I have today and at first I thought of giving up since I had a hard time familiarizing the interface but then I found your video and it got me to understand during your tutorial. I love it! Thank you for this video! I appreciate all your time and effort for this. Truly, this is Amazing! SUBSCRIBED and liked! Keep doing great and I hope you would keep on helping others like me :D
If I had found this when it was uploaded, I'd have been working for Marvel right now. This tutorial is the best. It not only gives great explanation, but also creates interest.
you deserve sooooo many more subscribers oh my god... this is the best tutorial ive seen on youtube!! thank you so much for making this!!
You are most welcome. I'm hoping the subscribers will find their way to me.
+OnlineMediaTutor | Maya modeling & animation tutorials! they certainly will
Dude you make maya look really easy although it isn't.
Great respect for you bud!
+Manav Sharma driving a car isn't easy either but people make it look easy. It just takes a little experience
OnlineMediaTutor | Maya modeling & animation tutorials! Brother can you please upload some videos on Character modelling as well? It will definitely help others including me.
I like the way you teach each and every step and in explain it in such an easier way.
Regards
your a life saver man, my teacher didn't explain maya to everyone in the class, he explained a FEW steps very quick and told us to get started. You explained everything very well. thank you so much dude.
I finally found out the differences between British English and American English. And this tutorial is brilliant. I use Cinema 4D. I think they are similar with each other. Thank you guys.Very appreciated that I can learn from you a lot.
1:17:00 instructions for flipping the one wall that is upside down: Create an identical wall material. Click on the "place2dtexture" node in the node editor panel, then rotate frame by 180 degrees in the property editor panel. Select the single upside face from the walls in the 3d viewport and assign the new wall material.👍
Thanks buddy!
is the ramp tool used differently on maya 2017? its not exactly giving me the same effect as yours.
Finally completed the tutorial and very happy with the outcome! brilliant job can't wait to go through your other videos in more detail
I must say this, before I found this amazing channel, i used to watch tutorials on other channels , and used to get bored within couple of minutes, but on this channel the tutorials are so interesting, that even after 2 to 3 hours I am still interested in learning more, because of the simplicity of these tutorials, anyone can understand , they all are very interesting, useful, thanks to the perfect and the best teacher, regards, Krutika, India
Coming from CInema4D and working with it for 3 years now, I still struggled in Maya, your tutorial sure helped a lot.
Is cinema 4D any good?
Mike Bailey it'S good to understand and easy to begin with
Cinema 4D is a good program for single person or small team. Its 10x easier than Maya. And I use it all time. The reason I want to change to Maya is that all studios use Maya. And I need to learn it inorder to work there !
I came too from Cinema 4D but i hated that when I want good render plugin I must pay like 700 Euros for it. Because with original Render you cant do something that I want.
+Cinema 4D Animations Original rendering is perfect ! Why u need another plugins !
You own the full version of it ?!!
Shane - you're the boss! Great tutorial!
+Jason Etienne Sometimes I wish I was the boss! Glad you like the tutorial. You're not doing a bit of leisurely Sunday prep are you?
Well, you should be the boss! Re: Leisurely Sunday prep.....yep! Busted :) Just looking for possible tutorials to give some of my students. I'm currently teaching up at Doncaster College with the HND's. Great fun so far - tons of work to do of course. They're going to be making a Judge Dredd bike in Maya and then importing it into Unreal Engine.
+Jason Etienne sounds very cool. I've just started using Unreal this year. I really like it. I'm trying to get my head around the PBR workflow. I think I'll have to spend some time in substance painter too to get the best results. I made a pretty barrel with our foundation degree students last week though using the Stingray PBS shader in maya. Glad you're enjoying yourself at Donny :)
Same here - I can create environments and do all the scripting stuff, but I've still got tons to learn in Unreal. Anyway, in the meantime - keep up the good work!
Sweet man. I am studying game development and am using 3ds max at the minute. I decided to download Maya. Thanks for the tutorial. I do hope to specialise in design and i heard maya is great for building block mesh levels
Thank you SO much! I've studied 3dStudio Max some 10 years ago, the concepts are basically the same but I just couldn't figure my way through new softwares. This video really helped me to get unstuck learning Maya 2017 interface and workflow.
Guy I love your style....We all know it is difficult to learn and teach 3d but just at 2:00 I have already subscribed to your site.....So far you are the best to me......Video is quality and audio is clear...Procedure is self-explanatory....Thumb up to You....Great work
Coming from blender this tutorial really helped :D
At this point would you say maya is better than blender to justify the price?
I stopped on that same day lol, to me it felt the same just different binds and different option locations. I didn't get far enough in to tell a difference, might wanna watch like those "why __ is better than __" videos
Ehh, Blender is quite powerful for amateurs and for people who just want to make stuff. Maya is obviously industry standard fora reason: it's much more powerful at more complex stuff.
I like Blender because the button bindings and menus are more intuitive to me.
+Rahul Nene agreed
Rahul Nene but they say Maya isn't great for 3D modelling - infact that's its weakest part of the software.
Any idea why in Maya 2019 I'm getting this issue when applying the Rock texture to the Pillar material? i.imgur.com/5IUBwJn.png
I have the same issue... I have even four levels of the brown dirt... you found out in the meantime?
Thank you
My professor spent a 3 hour class explaining what you explained *better* in 20 minutes. Your tutorial is so easy to follow and detailed!
This Tutorial is awesom. I picked up Maya today, and you helped me to kickstart my process a lot. Thank you for that mate.
At 1:06:28, the "Legacy" view port options are removed in Maya 2018... How to fix:
1. Create a text file named: Maya.env
2. Write the following in it: MAYA_ENABLE_LEGACY_VIEWPORT = 1
3. Save it in: \Users\username\Documents\maya\version
4. Open up Maya
+Brandon Smith that part isn't very important. Keep going, you can do everything you need in viewport 2.0
Kept going, finished it! Thanks for the tutorial! On to animation!
+Brandon Smith good luck! Hope you like it :)
Thank you!!
@@GameDevAcademy Thanks, I was looking for this as I'm using Maya 2019 and can not found the legacy and unable to see the ramp in my viewport.. I'll keep going anyway..
Best Tutorial Ever !!!!!!!!
Exactly!!!!!
Exactly!!!!!
Thank you very much. I followed through till the end practicing every steps and I got it right. I am so grateful. God bless you. Am going to share this videos to all my friends here in Nigeria.
This was super helpful, I am an advanced Solidworks user and have Maya experience from a decade ago, this got me comfortable with the interface, well worth the time to watch.
There no tutorials for creating a character model for Maya 2017 at all! :( Please help.
just use this www.autodesk.com/campaigns/makegames/create
how powerful your computer should be to run latest version of maya?
knowledge.autodesk.com/support/maya/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/System-requirements-for-Autodesk-Maya-2017.html
YOU SIR ARE A LEGEND!!! I cannot thank you enough for this. The tutorial is one of the best I've ever seen for Maya it was quick and easy to follow everything was explained clearly for anyone to understand and I've gone from not even knowing how to move a cube to creating rooms filled with objects I would of been helpless without this amazing tutorial EXCELLENT WORK!!! you definitely deserve more views.
+TheAmazingGamer T.A.G thanks dude
This is such a great tutorial. You don't just show viewers how to do stuff, but you explain it, which is actually pretty rare.. amazing video my man!
+Noobis I try my best. I'm glad it's appreciated.
Ah cool, also, at about 1:17:00, you mention that one of the faces will be upside down. How do you fix this? I tried to rotate the material in the UV tab, but it didn't seem to work well. Thanks!
Wonderful tutorial !!!
Thanks :)
I am having a pretty strange issue which I do not understand. When assigning pillarM to pillar the dirt is only assigned to part of the pillar, leaving two faces without dirt. I have recreated the material several times, rewatched the section of the video where you create it AND recreated the pillar and gotten the same results. It can of course be fixed by going into UV but I wonder why I have this issue in the first place and what I might be doing wrong
thanks for answers anyone :)
EDIT: when I assigned material to crates it wrapped around them and I had to fix them by UV. Annoying, since in the video this is not necessary. What am I doing wrong? seriously.
EDIT: OK so normalize was turned on. hahah... for some reason it only stuck for one of the boxes. Now I have to recreate the whole scene or go around changing UVs. well I leave this here if anyone has the same problem
Had same issue with floor even after turning off normalize and recreating the room. Only solution I find is scaling the UV up to fit the texture. This seems odd..
I had this problem.. And yes, I did not turn off the normalize from the beginning.. oh my oh my..
Your Maya tutorial is the best I've ever seen. Thank you for providing such high quality material for free.
As a future game designer who needs to learn Maya before getting into university - thank you so much! Brilliant video and simplified explanations. Amazing quality - Good job!
You're welcome. Good luck at university!
Hey, when I apply the texture to the pillar at 1:06:45, it looks really broken on 2017 Maya. :| What should I do in this situation?
same here. any solution yet? @onlinemediatutor, great tutorial by the way! thanks a lot
same issue, if i have renderer changed to the legacy viewport it works, but with the viewport 2.0 it just breaks
Im using Maya 2017 but problems occured
as am i
same here. It appears to me that the texture applies correctly to the sides of my pillar, but the front of the pillar has color showing at the top rather than the base.
very very useful tutorial ....... please make more tutorials ....... thank you so much
How do I pan/dolly the camera if I'm using a trackpad? Any settings I can adjust?
I'm currently the only student learning Maya at my trade school, this course traditionally teaches CAD wich is the closest thing I have to graphic design and computer animation. I'm very thankful that my instructor allowed me to pursue this opportunity and for you creating this helpful video to help people like me learn. Thank you very much for the video.
Fantastic work.
I'm glad I could help you out dude. If you really want to say thanks I'd really appreciate a shout out on your channel. I've just checked a couple of your vids out. You've done really well there, I know the Minecraft scene is very crowded. A channel your size throwing me a bone could make a big difference. Just a thought. Good luck with Maya and let me know if you need help with anything.
Mumbo Jumbo hello mumbo
how are you here
Wot
no mminecraft man on this vidio
Uhmmmmmm... I hope you'll notice this comment.
I am using Maya 2018. Using the higher quality renderer (from the results), arnold render.
Light seems to be very dark, i searched online for help, found some, but aren't very useful.
They basically told me to increase light exposure on arnold settings.
But one thing it can't fix, the light doesn't pass through the sun. But on the maya 2.0 renderer, it works just perfectly.
Are there any solution to this problem?
Because i think the Arnold render has way better result than the default 2.0 renderer, so I would want to possibly use Arnold renderer rather than the default 2.0
Thanks in advance :)
Same issue bro. only Maya hardware 2.0 is working
After11 years of expertise on Softimage and Maya from 1996, I had a break for 10 years and needed a refresher on my shortcuts! I started before the days of internet boom, paid a lot of money to get into the movie special effects field and learn Softimage 3D. Today everyone can learn it for free. All hail internet, sharing and human spirit. Great video!
A lots of thanks from Afghanistan. Today I'm a good modeler and I started learning from this video last year so all the credits goes to YOU and this video. You are the best teacher I have ever seen.
+Niaz Gul wow Niaz, I'm really glad I could help. Thanks for letting me know that my videos have had an impact. I'd love to see some of your work
Why does the audio quality become crap at roughly 1:35:40 ???
Elia1995 you're the 1st person to comment on this. I was using an external mic and it stopped working. I didn't notice until I started editing and so I had to use the audio that the camera picked up. Not ideal but at least you can still hear what I'm saying.
@@GameDevAcademy Four years later I was going to say great tut, but keep the mic off the desk next time (so we can't hear your mouse moving around). It really is a great tut.
i have a question...when i was render i can see everything ...but only if i did zoom...but if i try take middle room or high zoom not so close...the render show me all black...i will put the link the examples fotos.subefotos.com/b9d106a527ae5f7d93e38492426a2b36o.png

By far my favorite instructor for 3d modelling and gaming software. Great instructions at a good pace and still easy to follow!
Thanks so much , i'm preparing for school i wanted to get a head start on knowing my programs , I'm really happy i took the time to do this . It helped me learn Maya well. for a basics im very happy
Anyone help me i can't select the cube inside the room except i select it in the outliner window...
Even i zoom it in except i set it to wireframe and select the cube inside the room in the view port
Windows -> Preferences -> Selection -> Camera-based selection
or
Windows -> Preferences -> Selection -> Pick chooser
You need to zoom in further to be INSIDE the room box or else you will be selecting the room. Even though you cannot see it, its still there.
Thank you! camera based selection was the fix... if you dont active this you can zoom in all the way to the object and you wont be able to select it. Mac custom setttings comes with this option disabled.
Thanks for the tip ;)
When I apply the rock texture to the pillar it covers the entire pillar rather than fading off. How do I get it to fade off? I didn't miss a single step. Btw, I'm using maya 2017
having the same problem
solved finally!!!!!
Deleted and created the texture again
Gurkaran Sahni ok, so all you did is delete the texture and re do the steps?
The problem gets solved if i use the 2nd renderer in both the hypershade window and the main window
Gurkaran Sahni oh ok thanks, I'll update my comment to include the fix later after I have tested it.
Thank you so much for this! I was well into Maya about 10 years ago, and I needed this as a refresher for where everything is and what's changed. Cheers!
I am totally new to maya thank you for teaching me all the basics and how to actually use maya. This tutorial is very informative and I was easily able to start instantly in maya after this and create my very first animation.
My lights are significantly darker than yours here and the lightfog does not show up at all. I'm using 2017; is there something obvious which might be the cause? I have to put the Intensity up above 1 and cannot using quadratic decay on anything or it almost disappears. I have tried looking for the solution to this problem. I have recreated both the light sources, and even created a new project and created them there, but it has the same effect of being much darker. This makes me think there is some setting or something which has changed in the 2017 version or something which I have inadvertently changed.
Any ideas?
Same problem here, but when i was looking at the video again i notice he was using Maya software to render, and here was setup for Arbol Render, u can change in the render settings. Next where you click to render
Yea, its so weird. Make sure you are using the "arnold" render engine when he is not using it.
Move to Maya software and not arnold.
Thomas Barrow same. Whenever I add fog lighting it stops working properly. I think this has to do with Arnold because I no longer have the "quadratic" option.
Same issue
The texture for the monitor for me ends up being the wrong way. It's rotated 90 degrees. How do i fix this?
Yes, you need to find the place2dtexture node (the same one we use to tile the texture for the floor). In the settings you'll see rotate frame. You'll either need to rotate by 90 or 270.
+OnlineMediaTutor | Maya modeling & animation tutorials! Thanks for answering this I had the same issue! Also, your teaching is amazing thanks again!
+OnlineMediaTutor | Maya modeling & animation tutorials!
i have one problem (like you only you didn't see it) the monitor is mirrored
Found the 2dtexture nude, but rotation did'nt work for me... I'm going to move forward with the tutorial.
I had the same problem, Thanks. Also This is a very good begginer tutorial I wasnt sure If I wanted to try Maya or 3ds max first but thanks to this tutorial Ill use Maya for a little while. Also do you know how to use 3ds max I saw it on your desktop?
Just created my very first model using Maya and all thanks to your very informative and comprehensible tutorial! Seriously thanks!
+Hrithik Krishna I'm really glad I could help you out :)
A very clear tutorial, concepts are explained in a simple and linear way. Also learning different ways to perform a command helped me a lot. Thank you so much for this video.
Regarding the texturing of the pillars, creating the dirty look at the bottom, whenever I apply it it has this weird black non-texture colour at the top :

having the same problem
The texture files link doesn't seem to give me a link to the texture files. However, in the link below it (the written version of maya) I was able to find a link to the textures.

THANK YOU! I thought i was doomed for a second!
Thanks! It didn't work for me either and was hoping someone would post it in the comments :)
Thank you!!!
Not all heroes wear capes
Thank you
I didn't knew what to expect.. But what I got was amazing! Holy cube, you just hit the learning thing spot on! I was really enjoying this tutorial! Often when I watch tutorials I skip parts but I didn't do that once watching this video! Not to fast and Never too slow. I really like the red line and the tempo, the 'Now you do it' moments. I've learned a lot, thank you! Keep up the great work!
+Marco Byskov thanks Marco. In glad you appreciate the work I put into this.
This video tutorial is better than my lectures of university! I have learnt so much with this video. Clear and understandable. Thank you very much!!!
40:56 ohh why thank you
This is the most in-depth tutorial I have ever seen. Thank you so much!
You are simply SO GOOD! I was postponing 3D modelling for years, because I was afraid to not understand anything (like I had this issue with programming), but you are soo easy to understand, always cheering up and have such a good pronunciation that I could not resist to walk by this course!
In short: Totally awesome!
Definetily sending you some money :)
+Zero I'm really pleased that you appreciate my hard work. It means a lot
You should seriously make a tutorial on how to make tutorials. This is the best I've EVER seen.
I'm just at the beginning of the video and then you've gained a new subscriber! I wanted, a long time ago, to learn Maya you amazed me.
Best Beginner Tutorial on 3D-Design/Maya i saw in a loooong time. It's not that there are none available, nothing could be further from the truth.
But you posses a skill set which nearly all of the other Educators in those videos lack. They're surely full of professional wisdom and quite the experts, but you can actually teach.
You have a calm voice, you use the right order and most importantly you know exactly how much to explain. Just the things really needed to understand and not ramble on which eventually results in your students loss of focus. But all in it whats needed to get an understanding. Everything is logically and elegantly structured, plus the pace is absolutely on the spot.
i landed here while brushing up on 3D-Modelling, which i have left for a long time (outside of a few game engine editors, my last modeler was Caligari TrueSpace 7.x :D yeah, i know...) and i figured i could combine it with finally getting into Maya (which i was planing for also quite some time). I'm working in my spare-time on a little game project in UE4, mainly for fun. And after fiddling around with the engine and getting accustomed to its mechanics and programming, i now enter the creative phase. Instantly the need for a real modeler arose and i'm not on good terms with blender (dunno why, it just didn't appeal to me...despite being a great piece of Software).
Your video actually helped me to understand Maya's work flow/basics in a breeze and after it i had everything to continue onward alone building on my previous and a bit rusted experience in 3D Graphics, i fortunately do not need to start from the very beginning. Now I'm up to speed and actually entered the creative part being sufficiently comfortable in Mayan to enjoy working with it.
I would really like to thank you for that and give you credit for your really exceptional education skills!! I have never in my life understood a new topic as fast and intuitive, as i did while watching this video. Great Stuff....never stop educating ;)
Cheers ,Steven
+Ess Ell you are very kind Steven. I'm glad I could help you get back into modelling and into learning Maya. I do have some other videos that you might find useful if you're creating game art (the barrel is good for normal map baking) and I have also started covering the art side of UE4.
I wish you all the best with your game project and your continued learning.
it's just my honest opinion...and being intrigued with 3D Graphics and games for my whole live since i laid my fingers on a Commodore 64 i saw and read my fair share of manuals, tutorials etc., i have rarely stumbled upon people who not only have the knowledge but actually can transport it... this is my fifth youtube comments i posted, which is not my cup of tea, but this really left an very good impression on me. So i had to tell you... I will surely check the videos and barrel which you mentioned! I'm not developing games with commercial intend, i just wanted to build my own worlds since giana sisters and the same feeling never faded. I solely do it as a hobby or personal pleasure :) This time i decided to put everything from all those years together and being a big fan of the Persona series i decided to make my own sequel and transport/translate it into my hometown. That was also a big wish of mine...a game set in my hometown Aachen...So it will take a long time, but the groundwork in dozens of sites in concept is ready and i really look forward to the creation, the whole experience....Best wishes to you and again nice Job!
Deserves praise. I am glad i found your video first before using maya.
I really loved your tutorial, before this tutorial i never used maya but when i was watching your video same time i was make same content in maya 2018 its took 8 hours to make that content but i learned lots of in just 8 hours. thank you so much.
Best video tutorial for learning ANYTHING that I have ever watched. Thank you!!
+Victoria Lovett I like you Victoria. You say nice things.
I salute you sir! this is a goddamn good tutorial! I've been hating the switch from Blender to Maya simply because the lack of good tutorials but this clears all that right up! thank you times a million
Really helpful! Especially for beginners who installed newer version like 2016, but all the tutorials are for really old version
I was looking for tutorial to explain me the new maya 2017 and you are the best!
i which you can cover every thing in maya, cause we will be watching you
thanks alot :)
Very organized, clean and clear tutorial. I want to see you do this full time. Support this person on Patreon!!
+Shanil Wijesinghe thanks for the kind comment. I'd love to do this full time but I think it's a little too niche to be able to build the kind of Petreon following I'd need to be able to make a living. It's nice to dream though :)
I just changed my major to animation and I was really worried about whether I was going to like the computer stuff cuz I have no knowledge about that but this video is really making me wanna learn more. I'm only 40mins in but I'm not bored one bit. You are really a great teacher. :)
+pal bee thanks pal. I hope you'll enjoy learning animation.
I am so thankful that you made such a detailed tutorial of maya! You explain everything so well!
After 3 days I finally got enough time to complete this tutorial, I gotta say this was the most indepth tutorial and the guy didnt skip anything. I'm using maya 2018 so there were some things I had to figure out on my own but for the most part this tutorial saved me from giving up on my 3d modeling dreams lol. I also found the instructor very entertaining
Thanks Tarik! I'm glad you found this helpful :)
