I Can Teach You Maya 2023 in 20 MINUTES! | Beginner Tutorial

[@akazumiii9281]

This video is absolutely CRAZY. It's seriously impressive how your teaching skills can explain someone to go from creating simple cube objects to fully lighting and rendering a scene in roughly 25 minutes. You've made my university's animation class a lot simpler

[@GameDevAcademy]

I'm really glad I could help you out dude

[@4li_j999]

Ayo I’m also in uni doing animation

[@Sumitha-nv2sj]

I am a beginner of modelling can I use blender

[@ianzander5057]

@@Sumitha-nv2sj yes you can. you can do everything in this video in Blender if you want. The controls are different. And the way you do some things are different though. So maybe find a video for Blender. Blender is free but you can also get Maya Free for a month. Maya and Blender are tools to allow you to create what ever you think up. Just like looking at different brands of hammers or drills. Some may have a fancy feature to do this and the other one has a fancy feature to do that. However, they both get the job done well.

[@Darkserebro]

the way you inject subtle comedy into your tutorials is what really sets you apart from other content creators on KZbin, Easy to follow and entertaining to listen to, everything a good teacher needs to be. :)

[@GameDevAcademy]

Thanks dude. The humour is for me really. I get bored easily!

[@ianzander5057]

especially Maya tutorials. I find that there is a big difference in the mood and feel of videos for Maya and things like Blender or Marmoset or Painter and so on. Maya's videos tend to be dryer. I think these differences are because either people are trying to be more or less professional or its just the type of people who use each program. Blender's videos tends to a bit more lighthearted. Marmoset seems more lighthearted than Substance Painter. Like you said, I enjoyed this guy's humorous approach. profenalprofenal

[@xxmythmakerxx]

this 20 minute video was more helpful than than my lecturer explaining theses same thing for about 4 hours..... thank you so much

[@yeahgirl11]

Seriously. I think many times teachers forget that they already know how everything works, so they forget to break their instruction down to the simplest step/idea. It's like they're afraid of insulting people's intelligence but fail to realize that the reality is that 99% of people who are learning this stuff won't actually get insulted. This stuff is complicated but a good teacher makes it uncomplicated.

[@spacex6997]

Holy hell. This is extremely concise and manages to teach what my school fails to in 20 minutes instead of somehow stretching it to a week.

[@GameDevAcademy]

I'm a very good teacher 😉

[@Hazel.rayn946]

I was trying to follow along with the tutorial that came with the MAYA software itself and I was so lost. This helped IMMENSELY. All the buttons are so much less daunting when you know what most of them do!

[@texasFilmLock2]

That was the most encouraging and exciting Maya tutorial I have ever seen. Nothing was too intimidating, and your pacing is perfect. Thank you for inspiring me and my wife to dive into Maya. We're very excited to follow all of your Maya tutorials. Please keep them coming!

[@GameDevAcademy]

That's how wo do things here at Game Dev Academy! I hope you and your wife enjoy getting to grips with Maya!

This is freaking gold. Like Blender Guru's Donut level gold. Thank you sir for explaining everything so well. Saved my life.

[@GameDevAcademy]

You are most welcome. I do also have a more in depth tutorial if you want to continue learning

[@Jayakrishnan_M]

I was a blender user, till i joined my college, i had to learn maya, but I was a beginner to 3D, the first video I searched and found was this one, took me 2 days just to finish this properly, now 1 year later, I work as a 3D Artist at a company, couldn't have done it without this tutorial, thanks a lot, After learning this tutorial, i went to several many, with different college projects, then i found the youtube Mario(elementza), all uphill from there. But cant forget where you came from. THANKS AGAIN!.

[@emre884k]

I am a Computer Engineering student. This video taught me more than my teacher. Thank you :)

[@sylvagem3235]

for those of you who are use to blender or are just confused as to why maya uses weird words, tumble is actually rotation, tracking is actually panning and dolly is actually zooming.

[@chuburovlaw]

This lession is so incredible and explains a lot of things just for 20 minutes. The best lesson ive ever seen

[@GameDevAcademy]

Dude if you think this is good you should check out my full 4 and a half hour tutorial - I really went to town on that one!

[@chuburovlaw]

@@GameDevAcademy yes, I've seen this video in recommendations. I just preparing myself for this hot stuff. 👍👌

[@sgiff]

Thanks, I always watch these beginner videos because sometimes even though you are an experienced user, sometimes you might actually learn something basic that you either learned once and forgot or never knew and there is almost always something in that category.

[@snehashishmalick3280]

This is the video which I was searching for in KZbin about Maya.......after watching few videos I watched it and I am genuinely benefitted and impressed by your teaching skills and the way you make everything understand in less time.......thank you very much for this video ❤

[@MarvRiley]

Dude, I'm trying to transition from Max to Maya and this was such a wonderful break down of the basics. Such a great starting point for an old schooler like myself.

[@GameDevAcademy]

Glad I could help you out Marv

[@epsilonius-the-great]

Dude, I started modeling with inventor and just got Maya today. I've tried to use blender before but all the tutorials were way too complex, Maya was my last attempt at finding a new software and somehow you make this complicated interface look so easy and simple. Thank you so much.

[@GameDevAcademy]

You should try my other Maya tutorial. It's much better than this one.

[@LaserGadgets]

Just started blender and now I see your THIS INTO THIS and its exactly what I need. Cute and low poly. And it somehow reminds me of the editing in Unity already.

[@GameDevAcademy]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@LaserGadgets]

@@GameDevAcademyI did! Great video indeed!

[@mikesmith9451]

For anyone having trouble with the beveling at 05:41, you might have made some accidental extrusion with a thickness of 0. It doesn't change how the mesh looks but breaks the topology for beveling. Deleting any unwanted extrusion in the channel box fixed it for me.

[@O4irTS]

This is awesome!!! I want to study Maya and i downloader and start it, and i see that i don't absoulutely what to do, and a watch this video and my first emotion that maya is more diffuculty to start if you don't have an 3d experience at all, but when i watch this video 80% of my questions about how to do on Maya is closed. Highly recomend this video if you don't have a real practice and not to much long guide about how to start 3d in Maya - this is the gamechanger for me. Actually 3 year ago i want to start 3d in Maya and want to watch some Russian 3d channel about that and speaker make bunch of lessons more than hour what in this video makes in 20 minutes. Mind blowing!!!

[@renardgood7063]

This video is such a huge help. Every now and then, I watch this to refresh my mind whenever I get stuck in MAYA. I was surprised with the technique used in the chair, I'll be applying what I've learned to my future outputs. Thank you, and keep up the good work. I'll be looking forward to watching your future content.

[@theartofgracezhang7409]

As a illu major who only uses photoshop and adobe this was such a amazing video! i've always wanted to use maya but was too scared too because of the interface! this is so helpful and quick to the point! i'm saving this to come back too!

[@lylevillanueva8624]

Thanks for giving us this tutorial. I'll be studying this 3D modeling for my college, and it was required for me to learn some basics. We can use this in architecture, interior designing or for animation and the explanations was very neat. I've been struggling how to use this application to be honest since it was very complicated at first. Thanks for tutorial. ❤

[@truongtrongsang666]

Honestly once explained it's fairly intuitive. Thank you for breaking it down so nicely for us newbies! Can't wait to play with the full version

[@error_606_]

This video has helped me so much. You explained everything better than my teachers. THANK YOU!!!

[@peterlantz7966]

This is such a good intro. Having something tangible at the end is encouraging. You worked out the lesson so people are constantly creating while learning, instead of having to digest a ton upfront. So good!

[@GameDevAcademy]

Thanks Peter. I put a lot of time into creating my courses to make sure that they're engaging and that the learning curve is never too steep. I'm glad this has worked for you. My 4 and a half hour Maya course is even better

Thanks dude. I'm pretty happy with this one.

[@ElinaNoodles]

Hi I am looking to use Maya for both educational work and my own creative pursuits. This is the first tutorial for Maya that I found incredibly helpful and engaging! How you present in your energetic manner kept me attentive to the whole thing and complete it without falling asleep. Thank you!

[@kimski.komkski]

This was amazingggggg i learned so much!! So stoked to try more of it now!!

[@jarigg14]

Literally the best tutorial. Engaging and educational thank you so much!

You're welcome Jessica. Please share this video with anyone else that you think might find it useful.

[@crustacean4485]

You made everything really easy to understand! I learned a lot, thank you so much for this!! :D

[@GameDevAcademy]

You're welcome. Thanks for the kind comment.

[@whitebeartigtig]

damn, what an excellent tutorial. I've used maya before, but only ever created basic models, not full rooms like this. This video really did help a lot, and I learnt more from this than the 7 months of school I had attended to learn this stuff. I know the tutorial is a little old at this point, but I'm also still using Maya 2022 (for stability reasons), so that doesn't matter so much. Plus very little has actually changed. Keep up the good work!

[@godshot6138]

My man, this is the most effective beginner tutorial I have ever seen Kudos

[@GameDevAcademy]

Glad it helped!

[@renanveiga5311]

you're a great teacher, love the simplicity, with details! subbed!

[@utsavdholariya860]

It really worked for me after I look and try some tutorials, yours is the one that worked. Owe you a lot.

[@terrancebaker7598]

This actually helped me a lot with some of the stuff I didn't know about Maya

[@GameDevAcademy]

I am very glad to hear that.

[@rakeshkryadav5888]

great tutorial, I'm learning maya after learning blender and this is a whole new dimension for me.

[@mattwatts5999]

This was SOOOOO helpful! I like how simple you kept it. I was able to get caught up a lot faster to where I need to be in my school modeling class right now. I really appreciate the great tutorial. And it was fun the way you added extra little MEME pics:)

[@GameDevAcademy]

I also have a more detailed tutorial you can follow if you're looking to get caught up

[@Dboss107]

This software is so sick. I wasn't sure what to expect but this video was great

[@rosvisual2986]

thank you maaan !! this is the most fun and helpful video about Maya I've seen.

[@GameDevAcademy]

You're welcome. I am glad you like my approach

[@swordheartstudios]

This video is amazing for how it covers the basics of Maya along with having funny moments that go along very nicely while teaching the material. You make this really easy and simple to follow along with and having impressive skills that go from creating a simple cube to this nice work environment. As this was really helpful for me going into Blender for the first time. Thank you Game Dev Academy.

[@infobraintelugu]

it is amazing. i chosen you are my teacher for everything maya. thank you

[@roystonmichaels6747]

Great Tutorial, easy to follow... You should include in the beginning how to setup and create your project with the correct folder structure so that everything is organised.

[@GameDevAcademy]

The project set up is included in my longer Maya tutorial but I left it put of this one to keep it shorter.

[@hadleyrosemitchell3574]

Absolutely wonderful tutorial! Love your sense of humor and thank you so much for the great instruction 😊

Thanks dude. I'm glad you liked the tutorial :)

[@GameDevAcademy]

Thanks dude

[@skelotom]

So I prefer blender, when I am done with this class I will be returning to blender. This is easily the clearest and most efficient tutorial I've found for this program though. Thanks a bunch for making it!

[@GameDevAcademy]

I'm glad you like it. I'm just curious though - if you're all about Blender why are you learning Maya?

[@skelotom]

@@GameDevAcademy I'm a college student and my professor is requiring Maya specifically with no option for alternatives. It's neat to learn other programs, but I'm going to be spending this semester re-learning the workflow for things I can already do in Blender.

[@Static_Laughter]

I'm currently using Maya in my Animation program, and my modelling professor is big on cleanup. From what I've been able to grasp on the concept so far, it doesn't look like you did any cleanup once you combined all the pieces you used to make some of the objects. What's your opinion on the importance of cleanup? I personally feel like, for something like this, where you're just creating a scene for viewing purposes, cleanup wouldn't be necessary, but he thinks it should always be done. I don't enjoy the cleanup part haha.
