What are the requirements for self-learning Maya software?

What are the conditions for Maya to learn this software by itself? English is better

If you want to learn the software interface, there are not many English words, but when it comes to attributes and other aspects, the vocabulary will become larger. You can download a Flash file that contains both Chinese and English to familiarize yourself with the interface. Then, you can go to a bookstore or online bookstore such as Dangdang.com or Amazon.com to buy a Maya introductory textbook with good reviews, preferably a CD with operation videos. You can follow along step by step. I recommend starting with Maya 2008, laying a solid foundation and becoming familiar with it, and then learning the 2011 version. Maybe the 2012 version will be out by then, and you can refer to the 2008 version for learning.

Remember, software is just a tool, and what you learn is how to use the tool.

Before performing any operation, you must first clarify what your goal is, then understand the principle of this goal, and then perform the actual operation after clarifying the idea. Only in this way can we transform the knowledge in books into our own practical abilities.

After you get started, you can often go to some famous CG forums, especially the MAYA area, to appreciate other people's works and learn their tutorials. This will be very beneficial for improving your technique.

Is there anything I should pay attention to if I want to learn Maya by myself

1. Study MAYA as a new course (it has nothing to do with MAX! Really.);

2. Beginners should read "MAYA Storm" instead of "MAYA Complete Manual";

3. Don’t give up reading just because "D:\AW\Maya4.0\docs\en_US\html\MasterIndex.html" looks difficult. Even if we are beginners, we should insist on taking a look.

4. Don’t be confused by words such as MEL, IPR, node, RMB, LMB, etc.;

5. During the solution process, do not ignore any seemingly simple questions, because they may not be as simple as they appear on the surface, or they may involve more knowledge points.

6. Being able to use MAYA to model does not mean that you know MAYA;

7. Learning Cloth is not difficult, and similarly, learning Animation, Dynamics, Fur, and Live is just that—the real difficulty lies in long-term practice and all-out reading of related books.

8. If you are not a genius and want to learn MAYA and also want to play games, it may be a little difficult. You may think you have mastered MAYA, but in fact your MAYA skill level may not improve as you progress through the game. What needs to be kept in mind at all times is: learning MAYA is to be able to make games.

9. No matter how many MAYA books you read, you will never be able to learn MAYA scripts;

10. Impetuous people tend to say: MAYA is no longer good, you should learn MAX; - it’s you who can’t do it! ?

11. Impetuous people tend to ask: What should I learn? - Don’t ask, just learn;

12. Impetuous people tend to ask: Does MAYA have a way to make money? - I suggest you rob a bank;

13. Impetuous people tend to say: I want the Chinese version! I can't speak English! --no? Learn!

14. Many people will ask: Which one is better, MAYA or MAX? Let me tell you, they are actually very good. As long as you are willing to learn and master them, no matter which one you choose, you can achieve the results you want.

15. There are two types of impetuous people: a) those who just wait and see without learning; b) those who only learn without persisting;

16. It is better to keep the outdated technology in mind when talking about fashionable technology;

17.MAYA is more than just 3D software;

18. One of the best ways to learn MAYA is to practice more;

19. Never think that the book in your hand is enough at any moment;

21. If you understand the book, please read it carefully; if you don’t understand the book, please read it bravely;

22. Don’t expect to remember and master anything after reading the book for the first time - please read it for the second and third times;

25. Discuss meaningful MAYA knowledge points with others instead of arguing about the feasibility of MAYA or which one is better, MAX or LW;

27. Don’t think that just because MAYA and MAX look similar, they have exactly the same meaning and function;

29. Don’t mistakenly think that you will encounter any problems if you learn MAYA after learning MAX - in fact, you are just learning a brand new software;

30. If you have any questions that you don’t understand, you can leave a message on CDV or HXSD, or you can leave a message to dxaMEAL.

31. The secret to learning MAYA is: learn, learn, and learn again;

34. Please practice the examples in the book on your computer, even if there are source files in the supporting CD;

35. Expand the meaningful examples seen in the book;

36. At work, we should pay attention to the exception handling technology in Maya software and effectively apply it to our own work.

37. Frequently review previously completed levels and try to answer them again to apply the newly acquired knowledge;

38. Don’t miss any exercise in the book - please complete them all and record your thoughts;

39. MAYA modeling and MAYA materials must be learned and mastered at the same time;

40. Now that you have decided to learn MAYA, please continue to learn;

41. Let various 3D platforms compete fiercely. We must focus on learning MAYA itself;

42. When you suddenly find that the method you are using is not very good during the design process with MAYA, please do not stop immediately; complete the rough design of the remaining parts as soon as possible to ensure the integrity of the whole. Then, analyze your own mistakes and redesign and work again (Reference 43);

43. There is no need to rush for success, mastering MAYA is not an easy task; technical level needs to be continuously improved and developed through continuous practice;

45. Every time you encounter a MAYA difficulty, try to explain the knowledge point to others and make sure they understand - only when you can explain it clearly can you truly understand the difficulty.

46. Record the knowledge points that you ignore or don’t understand when communicating with others;

47. Please keep putting forward higher requirements for the scenes you do;

48. Save all the source files you have done - that is one of your best accumulations;

49. Please don’t be an impetuous person;

50.Please love MAYA!
