I learned about Maya during my animation courses before the pandemic; excited to relearn and refresh my knowledge during quarantine.

Thank you so much! Easy to learn. It took me 10 minutes to understand which I otherwise would have easily thrown away hrs on.

Just had to drop my class because it was so hard to follow, for the first week we weren't even taught how to move the camera to see around the object, here, i learned less than a minute.

the most weird yet amazing intro i have ever seen

Im currently at college in a games design course, hopefully moving to Uni next year to continue doing games design or focusing more on visual effects. However, im in a position where I kind of feel like im not sure which direction to be looking at. What I mean is the software I use in college is 3DS Max while the software I see being used in most- if not all Uni's is Maya and a few others. If anyone has any advice to what I should be focusing on and what I should be learning if I want to get in that industry, that would be a great help!

You are/were not alone! I pray you found what has worked for you!

I've always been curious about the big hype about Maya, considering that I'm a learner of blender modelling

[joefridaysucks]

I got all the way to 9/10 on this series and I stopped because although the early videos are very clear, simple and helpful I found as the series progressed the instructions lacked clarity and as a whole the series probably moves far too fast for someone who is truly a beginner. If you don't believe me look at all the confused people in the comments of the later videos. Not trying to be a hater but if you're brand new to Maya I would recommend starting elsewhere.
