How to Use The Modeling Tools in Maya

[@guillermogalaadmora9217]

I am a Blender user and just started learning Maya and wow modelling tools here are super cool 👌🏽

[@tomosian3655]

I am a huge fan of the Maya interface and I'm always looking for perspectives on tool usage. I appreciate this style content!

[@ashwithullal]

This tutorial will never get old. This is the 3rd time i am coming here and i am picking up new things from here . My journey into modelling is slow but that's the way i want it to be.

[@monemanzanares2983]

this is freaking awesome! I love the slow instruction because my brain works slow when using this software lol. Thanks Flipped Normals!

[@keithyakouboff8755]

Don't feel badly. My brain works slowly no matter what I'm doing :D

[@michealdesanta3605]

New Vid after so long :D. Good to see you guys back :)

[@BlueSpinachPackage]

Really thanks, I'm a Maya user for almost 10 years and you fill some gaps

[@doracir286]

doing 3d classes for school and its been a while like a month almost forgot ever thank god for these videos

[@keithyakouboff8755]

Bro, been modeling for years. I never knew about all of these contextual menus. I mean, I've seen them, but never investigated them. Some of these are great. Thanks.

[@mistersasser]

I've been using Maya for 10+ years and picked up more from this video than I thought I would 😅

[@FTLin0]

mindblowing

[@jackiemoon1992]

how are these guys better at tutorials than autodesk?

[@MonsterHobbieShow]

Same, 20+ here, though the shift+move to extrude made me feel very stupid -_-.

[@user-yl4lf9mh1w]

you can also make your own custom marking menus with the things you use the most. ctrl shift click a command in the menu to add it to your shelf. open up marking menu preferences and then drag them from the shelf to where you want them. assign them and they will pop up when you use them.

[@habeebalrahman515]

My productivity atleast 20 percent up after watching this.

[@KuroNeko-gp8kh]

what a life saver video, i am literally crying because of my intern 3d job then i saw your video, thanks a lot

[@samy7342]

Super useful. Saved my 1st maya test.

[@kimmysander2447]

I love this software. It feels so snappy and build for speed. You can get this fast in 3Ds max but you need so many shortcuts. Just the repeat button is a game changer.

[@Harindu101]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I am a Blender user, so it's hard for me to move to Maya. However, this video has helped me a lot in knowing how to perform the same tasks in Maya that I used to do in Blender.☺

[@fiftyfifth6198]

Well explained and very helpful! Thankyou so much

[@raxlyy6416]

New to Maya. And I learnt it in one single day. Thank you

[@dennisberndtsson]

Nice vidEo! I never use the insert edgeLoop - tool anymore since the connect-tool also can ad a lot of edge loops at once.

[@hungpham7796]

Thank you so much, you guide really easy to follow with beginer!

[@zeddgamedesigner]

Soo much options i didn't knew existed. Very helpful.

thank youuu

[@littlekitty6766]

For edge ring collapse. Simply selecting the the whole edge and deleting it is much easier. Isn't it???

[@Данька_ВФ]

Goddamn, ur content is great, man, I really appreciate ur work 'cause u help me a lot, while I am just a greeeeen! Hope you'll get ur videos rendered at 2k :) Looking forward to see them in this reso)

[@andikakomaradia9797]

Nice tutorial brother sorry I need to ask you if soft can be installe on Android?

[@samridhamajumdar9769]

Hold A +left click to delete history and freeze transformation marking menu

[@luisgerardozavalazamudio5955]

Hi! Could you share the maya file please?

[@writart3723]

I am new to Maya and what I didn't get in this video is how did you get the list of all the tools on the left?? It seems suddenly you clicked something while cursor on the outliner panel and these appeared but I am unable to get this list anywhere! Please someone help!

[@ain4963]

sorry, what is the G key for? ;O

[@teresakyle5985]

WOОORKING!!!! OMG!!!

[@thetigerheart90]

nice

[@vikasrana2817]

Thank you so much for tNice tutorials video. I was so confused and overwheld when I first opened soft soft and now I understand how to finally

[@mmmuck]

Maya needs to add the 3ds max style bridge so you can bridge between unequal number of edges

[@PhoenixDigitalStudio]

Pls make tutorial on VFX

[@sgiff]

The easiest way to delete an edge or edge loop is to double click the loop and hit Ctrl Delete on your keyboard.

[@user-sv2sn7uv4g]

softEX softs like a mouthorgan.. why?

[@bigboomer1013]

no one told me that the shift key is the extrude hot key. every video and the official maya site always said that you need to find the extrude option and then press G to repeat the action. if you do a different action like Rotate, the G key will then remember it as the last action and will repeate it whenever you press G. literitly that mechanic is what made me stay on blender and made maya look like a total mess and a major turn off. super happy about this

[@nickpetrillo8300]

My brain hurts. Ive been using Blender for years and opened Maya this week. It feels like playing a game with inverted controls.... G means free Translate in Blender... imagine tapping that and having the item repeated.... In blender shift D repeats it. .....every... god. damn. button. just rotating the camera feels like i had a stroke.

[@nickpetrillo8300]

Extrude should be 'E' im done complaining....

[@luizoctaviovellodealmeidac9562]

blend.....er

[@IGarrettI]

Out of ideas huh?

[@AdORRsAaOo-zj7zf]

Wdym!? This 3d lol how can they run out of ideas

[@PhoenixDigitalStudio]

Pls make tutorial on sea monster sculpting and modelling

[@PhoenixDigitalStudio]

And make digital sculpting tutorial in zbursh

[@nathanwhite704]

They have several of those already.

[@jameslee9639]

Thanks "A LOTTTTTTTTT"

[@tonyfisher6379]

This is a fantastic video. Really highlights the “need to knows” for new users. Much appreciated! 🔥

[@neeo9949]

Sooooo sweet basic skills! In fact I have used maya for many years but I must say this.

[@user-mb7lt4kt2v]

what is the version of Maya You use in this video?

[@Aldebaran80]

fuck, with edit edge flow i would save a lot of time with car modeling... i didn't know that tool

[@tarnsmith8573]

Please could you provide assistance. I purchased your pack for the UI and Macros but the files in the Zstartup cause my zbrush to not open. If I remove that file it opens but loading the custom UI causes my zbrush to crash. I am using 4R6, please can you provide a workaround. The Flippednormals website is a nightmare to try and contact you for a simple fix.

[@hoiyu6161]

Hello, I am big fan of your youtube channel, it's been 2 months havent seen any update. Is everything ok? Hope you all doing good, and cant wait to see your new video!

[@FlippedNormals]

We've been pretty busy behind the scenes. We are looking to get back into the swing of things and create new content soon :) We appreciate the support

[@alejandrovaldez9876]

Edit Edge Flow & Circularize Components 🤯

[@michaelankry4702]

You can make a video about what it's like to move to a country for work (vfx), work permit, what it takes .... I thank you!

[@inspired.c]

Can you guys show how to make Normal Maps in Maya?

[@AnthonyRosbottom]

Couple of little speedups. If you want to use 'Append Polygon Tool' more than once, you can hit 'y' after the first face is created, to prime the tool for making another face. Quicker than exiting the tool and hitting 'g'. Also to set up the object level tools like 'Insert Edge Loop Tool', you're saying to hit Alt-D to deselect everything and then select the object. If you're at component level it's quicker to hold the right mouse button and gesture North East direction.

[@Design_Centere]

Hello sir i am your subscriber please make a video on Repeat seamless uv texture on big plainer surface in maya thanks in advance

[@crimsonBen]

i LOVE how you structure your videos and also the fact that you split up the videos into chapters, soo good!

[@HubertDAHorse]

hope you guys can make a video about AAA game assets workflow.

[@dmlbaker]

What chairs do you guys use?

[@j_lee_design]

The multicut hotkey is CTRL+SHIFT+X btw default btw

[@hazchickgames2840]

I wonder if Blender has a similar tool to edit edge flow...

[@sunnysunshine8897]

I don't think so. I just use the smooth brush from sculpt mode. It almost gives the same result.

[@CGbird]

I liked you video and i love Maya. I have experience on 3d modeling. I have Blender tutorials on my channel

[@Yushataram]

where is morten 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@milesbloomfield9832]

Do you have a video on lighting and rendering? I love these kinds of videos, Great tutorial!!

[@milesbloomfield9832]

Great Video!!

[@zandi6359]

Thank you so much, i think modeling in Maya is the base and the most important part of entire production pipeline.

[@AtallllatA]

Nicely done tutorial, love your channel boys

[@Krentiles]

I love your maya videos. I would love to see some videos about rigging

[@dingle2987]

My favorite tool is holding shift and ctrl and sliding edges and vertices with constraints. In fact my mouse has a hot key for it. Other nifty trick. Hold control and move your mouse left and right over a value in the control panel. It will change values in decimals. Also, when rotating an object. If you drag your mouse further from the selected object it used to rotate slower. I don’t know if this feature still works.

[@dimitry9817]

Thanks man very useful

[@chrislaowai2469]

Thanks a lot, really useful tutorial.

Who else is watching this and doesn't even use or want to use Maya ?

[@kevinpopescu9741]

Any advantages of the append polygon over the bridge in specific cases?

[@professionalgambling6783]

With bridge you might have some holes(Between two edges), with append tool, they are filled.

[@toaolisi761]

I'm not one damn bit surprised that I learned some new things from this video.

All thanks to *lawhack81* on instagram,he helped me recoverd my facebook account within few minutes,that guy is really a genius

[@antonkloopy8127]

Connect also may be used similar like insert edge tool, if you select 1 edge and press connect you and crate a loop cut, prefer it to insert edge tool, because connect give me slide it and pinch it as well. Good lesson, thank you.

[@thisGuy481]

Are these the same two guys who did Softimage tutorials?

[@THESHOTGUNSTUDIOS]

Man videos like these really make me want to jump back into Maya but then I remember I no longer have access to the software without spending $$$. :( *Looks at Blender*

[@eddyalienstudio7227]

Ewww, Maya?

[@lucasgnr1001]

3ds max or Maya for modeling?

[@eddyalienstudio7227]

ZBrush is the best for 3D Modeling and is compatible with Maya, 3DS Max (Which is pretty much on the way out thanks to recent developments with Maya), Cinema 4D and Blender

[@nathanwhite704]

Do all kinds of boolean cleanup in Maya

[@KrisuMiushy]

Something i would appreciate would be advance tools of modeling in Maya. Some kind of tip and tricks with MASH or clever ways to use it. Because right now i feel more comfortable for modeling to use blender with the amount of tools it provides to work with so i was wondering if a video with Maya MASH advance modeling could be possible. I wish there were a way to use average vertices but without deforming the shape, kinda what relax brush does but with average vertex.

[@dingle2987]

There is a way to turn on edge constraints. It’s in the wheel menu. Also, there is a nifty trick using the retopo tool relax brush on an older Flippednormals video.

[@GameDevAcademy]

This is a really good video for beginners.

[@zandi6359]

And your videos are great too
