Is Maya for newbies??

Cry Havoc and let loose the Bits of the Torrent! :cheers

Well, Maya is not really for newbies, but newbies can learn maya yes! :rolleyes:

In any case, it is one of the if not the best and most complete 3D package out there, I learned it back in 96, well...not Maya itself but it's predecessor, Alias PowerAnimator 7.5, Maya 1 followed the end of that year and it has been a wonderfull evolution to Maya 5 :yes

As for Ship Modeling, depending on what you want to do, and how big a ship is it can take from a Month to 2 Months to make it from Drawing to Texturing.

Of cource if you do have 8hours+ per day it can be done in less than that time frame, but it is certaintly not as easy as it may seem in the forums and the pictures that we are posting.

On the other hand there is not many things that beat the satisfaction of creating something from scratch and then see it come alive in the game :cheers

I'll finish it someday... Soon, I hope! :cheers 8)
