Hey brother! You and that Mars 3D YouTuber saved me so much headache in school and my own projects like not knowing how to properly terminate some of edges for panel lines. I love your content so much, you seem like such a humble dude, and ya look great btw, keep up with your fitness! 🙌

AweSome And I love Maya much more and more. It's very flexible.

Nice, started on Maya 3/5 around 2002, I miss those days

[joed]

Great tips! Especially that uv / transfer attributes technique.

[rammahsallom]

I vaguely remember finding out about the mmb redo last, in a tutorial years ago but never added it to my work flow. It is powerful and I will be adding it this time. Thanks!

I started using Maya about 10 years ago in Highschool and really enjoyed it. Long story short after some life events I ended up not really using it for a long time and have just started picking it up again to hopefully get into the 3D modeling field. What would you recommend in terms of things that would be good to help learn everything again? Any specific books, tutorials, and that sorta thing you or anyone else here recommends?

also a quick workflow for cylinder caps. Select the center vertex, convert selection to edges, connect components and you have a nice edgeloop.

[drugninja]

nice! :)
I use Maya from version 1 ( if you need install file just say, I have it :) ) and I didn`t know for few things. Good job, tnx!

[bencanfield]

Wow I’ve never known what vertex face was. Thanks!!!

[horseweapon]

5:50 : wow I have also been using maya for over 20 years and I had no idea this was a thing. It's almost like a hidden cheat code

[ShadxFr]

What's the shortcut to do that ? 14:29

Game studio: Nice topology, could you please reduce the edges by 75% ?

[orrinhall]

Do have the old autodesk maya interface from 2004, i do!

Hello brother! I work as a 3D artist. I have skills modelling all, but I try to model The Drill machine. It is very difficult. I want to know how it is to model the drill machine.

Let see if those trick in Maya have similar version in Blender or not

[LeoDaBest__Returns]

Autodesk Maya is an unreplacable goddess when it comes to every model you wish to make.

[adxmartistic]

Back at it again he is!
Don't suppose you will be doing a Maya --> Blender tut one day?
Learning Blender from the ground up is painful as everyone is like "these 4 verts you see. That makes a piece of topology. topology is yap yap yap"
If there was 1 solid dude out there, that did a simple "experienced in 3D autodesk packaged and wanna change to Blender swiftly. Watch this O:" They would be a real king for that (hint hint haha)
