Maya 2017 - Your first day in Maya

[@norat.4468]

I have checked few other tutorials for beginners in Maya 2017 on youtube, but i found your tutorial most helpful and nice. Thank you!

[@yonesantana]

Thanks for your kind words, I hope you enjoy the rest of the videos on my channel

[@rightyloosey8554]

This is a really high quality tutorial for 10:00 at night.

[@cheddrock6564]

I haven't even finished this video yet and I already love it. Thank you for posting this and taking time to help us noobs! You are a gentlemen and a scholar!

[@ezra3457]

dude thanks for showing us how to use Maya whilst also doing a small project. This helps. A lot. Most people just tell you what tool does what without really shwoing you what it does exactly. Thanks!

[@silvaazarian4296]

First of all , thank you . I think after watching a few videos , i finally found my teacher : YOU !!!!!! I've been in the 3D business for years ( Matrix Gemvision , Rhino , Zbrush ) , now i want to move forward , and Maya is my new toy . Still looks like chinese , but this video is great . BTW , i got Maya 2018 . Again thank you .

[@firstname4474]

Man, thank you a lot, I think you're talented teacher. I am a beginner in Maya, used Rhinoceros 3D a lot. My English is pretty bad, but I can understand just every your word. It's just amazing. Thanks a lot for your work here. Greetings from RU.

[@sabbathian]

After more then 10 years of working in Rhino, its time for me to move on to something more advanced in terms of animation and dynamics, so I came back to Maya, my hidden love for all those years... Ill be installing 2017 today and start learning, with your tuts... so, wish me luck! I`ll rate your videos as I go through them ;)

[@yonesantana]

Best of luck with the transition and let me know how you are getting along.

[@sabbathian]

Here is the first update since I had no time at all to learn as I should... but the polygonal modeling is still a big issue... I come from nurbs modeling and Rhino and it is completely different type of modelling... Like I have never ever worked in 3D before :) I guess the best way is to challenge myself in modeling various objects... with practice comes perfection ;)

[@firstname4474]

Sabba man, the same thing. I've worked with Rhinoceros for 2 years and I'm feeling like I don't know anything in 3D now. Just started to learn Maya.

[@Centauro0821]

Thank you so much for your tutorials .... Finally after watching just a couple of them, I feel I understand some of the most important parts of the software ... I found that even the paid tutorials, assumed you already know some stuff.... and leave you with a blanc look on your face... hehehe .... You are really good at explaining what a beginner needs to get started .... Thanks again !!!!!

[@mervynmoodley8819]

Hi there.I’m new to the Maya platform, and appreciate the patience with which you present the tutorial.The presentation is excellent!It’s a shame that you’ve stopped these publishing these videos.☹️

[@coker9030]

Thanks a lot for this. Well detailed and explained a lot that most tutorials skip. I'm very new to Maya so this helps a whole lot.

[@Garchist]

It's very helpfull for a new user like me who has no experience in this sort of programs.

[@SuperFlashing]

Thanks a lot for making the video easy to understand and follow as a beginner. I really appreciate the effort you putted on It. Thank you, and please keep going.

[@raphaelmahumane1648]

Thank you for sharing this, its helpful as some of us are learning this things on our own, thank you a lot!!!!

[@piyushkhanna7425]

Hey! While rendering, it's not working under batch render. And then, I tried render sequence but Arnold rendering is going on and on and is not stopping nor giving any view of animation.

[@piyushkhanna7050]

Hey!! The way u told to render view using Arnold renderer,it is not working that way.i mean the exact picture of what I created using lights is not displayed after I take Arnold render view. What is the problem with it?help me out ,please

[@antbystuff1907]

Thanks, it’s very helpful. Keep it coming!

[@yonesantana]

[@yonesantana]

Thanks for your kind words. Please check out the rest of the lessons in the Learn Maya 2017 Playlist.

[@Thawer]

yone santana Are you kidding me? I watch your videos every single day! And i started to show for all my friends. You're awesome! Happy new year from brazil! 🇧🇷

[@yonesantana]

Happy New Year!

[@naive8501]

Hey Yone! I have practiced this tutorial on Maya '18. There are a few changes in Arnold rendering like there is option called Specular instead of Glossy or I don't know if it is replacing to that option. Anyway in 18, for Arnold renderer tab, I entered the value 5,3,3 for first three option and it took my laptop roughly 14 mins to complete the whole process. Is it normal? I am currently having 8th gen core i7, 16 GB Ram and NVidia 1060 6 GB graphics card. Not too sure now if I have the right product for animation.

[@eddiet2623]

Good Morning Yone I was wondering if they make Arnold for the LT Versions of Maya if so could you point me in the right direction or send a link. Thanks

[@EyohsKonceptfilms]

hello i have a question when i want to open my Maya 2017 this is the message they are given me , Failed to apply color management settings on the flie open: Failed to finialize the color transform so what is the problem?

[@shahbazsiddiqui1129]

hi i am following your tutorials, I can't find aiStandard material, It only shows aiStandardHair, aiStandardSurface and aiStandardVolume. what should i do now?

[@dszarts]

Shahbaz Siddiqui reinstall Maya.. It might have been a problem while installing

[@adamwatson599]

Don't need to reinstall. Use aiStandardSurface.

[@joeylane7051]

Excellent tutorial! Thanks!

[@SachinMeena-np5my]

Sir when I render then shadow of plane of areal light also render

[@kevinbiba1566]

Hi ! Your videos helped me a lot ! But Arnold isn't showing . What should I do please help .

[@yonesantana]

Hi Kevin, Check that your Arnold plug-in is loaded on Maya 2017. Go to Windows> Settings and preferences> Plug-in Manager and look for the MtoA Plugin and check both tick boxes.

[@VKRArts]

hi sir, i love to animate..is it possible to learn MAYA by watching only the tutorials??? what u will recommend?

[@yonesantana]

Hi Vineeth, tough question. I'm a firm believer that you can learn anything thanks to the information that is available online. However that information is not always clear or easy to find. Self learning takes time and discipline, but I would also look into courses and make the best choice for how I learn. Either way watch my videos on Maya I think you'll get a good solid foundation for what to learn next. All the best.

[@VKRArts]

Sir, Thank u so much for your valuable information . I am going through most of your tutorials and the your way of y explanation is like am attending the classs

[@dgfilms2545]

no

[@aashnachhatwal3563]

Can you tell me how to get back the side bar? I have started working with Maya today only, and accidentally I deleted the side bar which has move tool and other options. A helpful video. Thanks :)

[@osamaakram328]

I don't have Arnold in my choices , how I can fix that ,at that minite: (40) ,, please answer me and I'm not fluent in English ,, but I do love your videos

[@HyenaTapes]

hi im with maya 2017 but sometimes i don't know what happens that the Arnold options just disappears, just return to maya classics, you what could it be? thanks, i really learning a lot from your classes.

[@yonesantana]

There is a bug in Maya 2017, that the pluggin unloads for some reason. You can go into your Windows> Settings and preferences> Pluggin Manager and just tick the boxes to reload Arnold without closing maya. Hopefully Autodesk will patch this at some point

[@kevinbiba1566]

Arnold still doesn't show even after doing what you said up here . Help please .

[@jinwayne3611]

Don 't know why ? But I can not change "temperature" of light when I switch to "Use color temperature" ((

[@zoygas]

welcome back!

[@yonesantana]

Thanks. It's good to be back.

Hi Aadil, Sorry for the late reply. In Maya 2017 go into Windows>Settings/Preferences>Plug-in Manager Find the Type.bundle and tick both boxes on. I hope that helps

[@Icecodes]

Which is easier to learn Maya or 3Ds Max?

[@yonesantana]

A tough one to answer, but I will try. The easiest one to learn is normally the one you learnt first. I don't believe that one is easier when you are trying to learn the whole 3D workflow. It takes a long time to become dexterous on how to use 3D software, so it is best to commit just to learn one really well before you dive into another piece of software. I learnt Max first because it is what I was taught at University and I had access early on to tutorials and people who worked on Max. Both somewhat complicated but they both shine at doing specific things. I love animating in Maya and I love the great variety of modelling tools in 3DS Max. If you are just starting out pick the one you like the most or is more useful for you to get a job. Learn that one really well and later you'll be amazed by how easier, and at some times frustrating, it is to learn a second or third 3D package

[@khalilnoor4997]

thank you for this video . . .. but what about vray ?

[@yonesantana]

Hi Khalil, Thanks for your comment. I have wanted to do some videos on V-ray for a while but I am in the process of getting the latest V-ray License from Chaos Group. I hope to have this sorted with in 3 weeks time when I'll be posting videos on texturing and lighting. I want to be using an official v-ray license for all the tutorials I make for this series. I will keep you guys posted as we move into more advanced stuff.

[@MichaelHurdleStudio]

Well done. How come no video for over a year? Did you quit?

[@piyushkhanna7425]

Can u resolve this problem? And please tell about this

[@yonesantana]

Hi Piyush. I had a similar problem when I started rendering in Arnold There a NEW way to render within maya. Make sure you are in the Rendering Tool set, and just above Batch render there is a command called: RENDER SEQUENCE If you want tot render Image sequences in Maya using Arnold you need to use this command. I hope that helps And best of luck on your learning.

[@piyushkhanna7425]

I did the same. But even after clicking on render sequence, it continues to Arnold rendering and never stops nor give any results

[@yonesantana]

Sorry to hear. Besides restarting Maya and making sure you've set your project. There is nothing you are doing wrong.

[@piyushkhanna7425]

I resolved the above problem. But that problem of Arnold rendering in rendering mode to create animation is still there. Please help me out

[@piyushkhanna7425]

I mean if I am using 72 frames, then rendering is done 72 times and then gives result. Is it the case in real?

[@Amal-kz7lm]

nice

[@yonesantana]

Thanks Amal

[@girishsareen017]

it feels good to learn from Ant-man (in terms of resemblance and i don't know why i am feeling so)

[@yonesantana]

Thanks for the kind words, Girish. And I couldn't dream of looking as good as Paul Rudd. You are too kind!

[@lakshmikr9170]

You are very cool, thank you so much

[@DavidAnatolie]

I think that doing type in After Effects with Element 3D is a lot better than working here in Maya.

[@krishnapandurangmate963]

You are great

[@73maxmau]

Actually this is incorrect. You can render animation, without watermarks, using "Render Sequence". You cannot render animation in batch render, without watermark, unless you buy an additional licence for Arnold.

[@yonesantana]

Thanks for the heads up. I'll test that and update the notes in the video :D That is great news.

[@73maxmau]

You are welcome. It's not as flexible as the batch render, but It's better than having the watermark.

[@piyushkhanna7425]

U are right. It's not working under batch render. And then, I tried render sequence but Arnold rendering is going on and on and is not stopping nor giving any view of animation.

[@piyushkhanna7425]

Can u tell me how to solve this problem
