After 2 years in Maya, I didn't know about CTRL in Edit Pivot Mode to Orient the pivot. Very useful trick, my life will be easier than ever haha thanks ! Great tuto

While this doesn't necessarily feel like a bare bones beginner course, you have given me a wealth of knowledge that I can work with. I'm excited to give Maya a try. Thank you.

dude vid is awesome it helped me a lot. by the way, I think it would be much easier for newbies if you explain what keys are using for every action. im a newbie so I struggled a little bit :D

Hey, thanks for nice tutorial! One tip that might be useful though. While staying in an orthographic view (let's say, front) you actually can scale model in a perpendicular plane without switching views. All you need to do is to hold ctrl key and grab an axis that is perpendicular to that plane. In our case, if we'll grab y-axis and hold ctrl we could scale width without changing height and without changing view to perspective.

Amazing tutorial! I watched this to knock some rust off my Maya skills and ended up learning a lot of new tricks I never knew about!

Hi, (this comment was actually a reply to another comment but i am posting it here so others cud see it too) so i am using maya for about 1-2 months now, and i can say i am following this guys tutorials like these without much problems. What i did was learn basic (and some advanced tools) before, practiced those for like 2 weeks and it helped me to understand tutorials like these. Also, if i don't understand any tools, i just note that down and watch it later, sometimes i even come back to watch this again. So thats my way, imo its very effective.

Bro, what do you have for beginners? I am just starting school and my teacher sent me your video but have no idea what you just did. But I give you mad props, you know your stuff and I need help.

As someone just starting 3D modelling this was amazing thank you

[adedejiefunkoya]

I just enrol for maya training and i believe going through beginners tutorial will be a great help for me. Thanks

[EliaForceita]

I could follow along in Blender as well! Very nice tutorial, dude!
Theory can really be applied on any program :D

Lots of thing left unexplained for a real beginner

I think there's recording software that registers and displays your keystrokes so we don't have to ask you about them in the comments

Yeah, I like how you just get to the most tricky part then switch to hyperspeed which was impossible to follow, and then like magic have a finished top. LOL

[tomsquad]

Is this really the way you model in Maya? Holy Shit. This was the most incomprehensible and convoluted tutorial I've ever tried to follow.

[cesardelcastillo]

Very good tutorial it is very helpful but some very important points must be mention like the shortcut keys in action, so that beginner could follow what keys to press and tools to use on each every part of object.

[TheMiszla]

Thank you very much for the tutorial! That's exactly what I was looking for. I saw the proper workflow with no time wasted on explaining all the little details.

[rowanwiggill]

This is a good tutorial in general but bad for beginners. When you use the "Modeling - Expert" workspace it removes the ability for beginners to follow you, especially if you don't explain what you're doing while using that workspace and also suddenly cutting out steps of the tutorial doesn't help (I thought this was a "Step by Step Tutorial") how do you expect beginners to follow you if you cut out a step of a tutorial? I was luckily able to follow cause I did do a few tutorials before this one so I have an understanding of what you are doing but total newbies that haven't even touch Maya before won't be able to follow you.
