anyone ever herd of maya???

if so, how good is it? i no the graphics are great, but is it easy to work with once u get the feel of the interface?

 

I have never heard of that but good luck finding out the answer.

I thought you were talking about the old old days when Mayas where around. XDXDXD

 

Yeah...I've heard of it....That's the 3d rendering program rite?

 

ya. i have seen games which were created by that program and the graphics for that program are amazing!!! i think nintendo used that program for some of their games...

 

i used it once, but i cant stand the rendering in the free version, the images come out pixelated and with a very annoying watermark.

 

really? do u think it will be worth it if u buy it? or should i jus stik to another 3d rendering software?

 

i have used rhino 3d and i really liked it, it was nicer and more professional looking, and you can get it for $150 i think

 

are the graphics good for rhino 3d???

 

yeah, heres what some people have made

the face one is really amazing, i dont understand how people do that kind of stuff

 

those graphics are insane!!! i might think about getting this program!!! thanks for the photos

 

Well, you can always bypass the watermark stuff by taking a screenshot of your final work, then open photoshop and save it from there. Doesn't that work?

 

no because it has a watermark on shaded view, and even that isnt a complete render

 

so u cant photoshop it in any way to get rid of the watermarks?

 

it will ruin most of the image, autodesk is very careful about not having people bypass their security

 

well then i guess you will jus have to buy it. but hey, the graphics are amazing. im sure it will be worth the buy.

 

hmm... i was saying that maya was hard to bypass the watermark in, if you get the rhino trial, you probably could take a screenshot of it, but ive never tried. you should get the trial before you buy to see if you like it.

 

always but i have seen a pic of the software and the graphics are amazing.!! ill give it a shot...

 

I've been having some classes about Maya during my time on college. I've tried it for myself but I was continuously confused with the interface and after 3 months of trying I finally gave up.

From what I hear from other people (who _are_ able to work with the interface ) that they can make nice 3d graphics with it, but most of them prefer to work with 3Dmax, for some reason.

 

were the classes easy to learn from?

 

In my opinion; no.
I'd prefer the video tutorials on the web, since you can play them back when you don't understand.
