I worked with Maya quite a bit today. I had short periods (and really long) of time that I was waiting for my Western Scene to test render.... so I opened up Maya.
I just finished going through Lights in Maya and was going to start Animation. With all the stopping and checking the rendering progress, I decided not to do lessons. I ended up starting a "simple" scene and working on it. I will post some rough screen shots tomorrow as all the work is on the laptop.
Working free hand is a good way to see how well I know it. For the most part, modeling is pretty smooth. I may not use all the fancy tools yet, but I am getting done what I need. Materials - will need some more practice and some work on the Mental Ray materials in Maya... their names are much different than in Max.
My simple scene is a old dock with a boat in the distance. Images tomorrow possibly.
