CHAPTER-3
MAYA-THE DIVINE POWER OF 3D WORLD
Hi Friends , after a long break i have finally finished my 3rd post....iam so sorry for the delay...had a lot of problems in making the videos that i have used for this blog post ...
This is my first video post...and in this we are going to deal with AUTODESK MAYA , the most popular software used in the industry of 3D-Animation .....There are two common softwares used for 3D
- MAYA
- 3DS MAX
Other than these two there are other softwares like Z-brush ,Mudbox, etc... which are not that prominent... 3DS MAX is generally used less for animation and used more for architectural and product visualization purposes ... so for now lets concentrate on MAYA which is used more in the industry for animation
WHAT IS MAYA??
Maya is an award winning, integrated 3D modelling, Animation, Effects and Rendering solutions software
Maya is an all-in-one software for 3d animation ..... which gives the complete 3D pipeline (Modelling,Animating,Tracking,Texture Mapping,Lighting and Rendering) that we saw in the previous post in a single package...Earlier different aspects of 3D needed different softwares and when Maya was introduced it was used only for high-end productions...but currently the trend has changed and Maya is being used in almost all the film and television industries dealing with 3D
MEL (SCRIPTING LANGUAGE)
The core of maya is written by a programming language called C++ and in addition to this MEL (Maya Embedded Language) scripted above C++... and MEL is generally used in the front-end of the software (i.e) the user can use MEL for customization of Maya core functionality....eg. the user can give commands to the software rather than using the predefined values and functions for a particular action to happen inside the software
MAYA INTERFACE
Before learning any software it is ideal to know all the tools and the functions that a particular software offers its users ..... which is nothing but the interface of the software....without knowing the tools there is no way one can use them in action...so this video gives you the location of all Key elements (tools,menu..) present in Maya ...
