Getting Back Into Maya


So I decided to find myself a useful tutorial on Digital Tutors for Maya as I have not used the program all Summer. I decided to find something that would be effective in getting me back in my comfort zone of Maya as well as proving somewhat useful towards my project and aims. I foudn this tutorial:

http://www.digitaltutors.com/tutorial/1014-Environment-Modeling-Concepts-in-Maya#overview

This was entitled, 'Environment Modelling Concepts In Maya'. So far it has been very helpful. It is reminding my how to carry out the simplistic things as well as teaching me a few new traits. I picked this as I am wanting to excel in environments and this is showing me how to create different types and shapes of objects which is exactly what I need to get me back in the swing of things.

So far I have created a few different assets to a very basic level - this is the level they show however as you progress you notice that they in fact add in more details out with the tutorials but for now, I am just wanting to warm myself up. Once I complete the whole tutorial I may or may not go back and make my assets look better. That will depend on how much time I have.

Tomorrow I will continue with it and shall hopefully have it completed before work. The final piece is going to be some sort of music stage with plenty of assets to fill it out. Being a musician myself, I am enjoy this exercise as it closely relates to my hobbies.
