Welcome to animation

Hi, everyone this is the blog that will cover everything you want to about animation.
This blog will help you to know how to animate anything you want. If you want to pursue your career as animator then you are at the best place.

Let’s begin with the basic of animation. If you want to be animator you need some platform. So for animation we have platform like Maya, 3ds Max,blender and many more. Maya and 3ds Max are professional animation software used by professional and blender is a open source animation software.
Both software works the same and they do a perfect job but Autodesk is more prefer than the blender because its more powerful and more easy to use then other animation software.
This blog will be more focus on the usage of Maya and now let us begin. First I will be more about installing the software. You can install the software by visiting the official website of maya http://www.autodesk.com/education/free-software/maya. Visit this link and you will be able to download the free version of software for limited use and you can also download the student version for the 3 years. As animation needs more power than any other tasks in a computer so you have to boost up your computer power to the most. So see the system requirement and install the software in your system.

TEXTURING / Substance for Mental Ray in Maya

TEXTURING / Substance for Mental Ray in Maya Just like Mental Ray render for Maya, you need to enable Substance inside Plug-In Manager. Once you enable Substance, you will have 2 extra nodes you can use inside Hypershade: Of course by itself the Substance node does nothing, you actually need to use the Substance archives node, it comes with Substance Bonus Tools as examples: Once you load the Substance archive, you can start using the "preset" procedural texture, it comes with parameters that you can adjust and animate: To create the Substance archive yourself, you actually need Substance Designer, another additional tool that will cost you. http://www.allegorithmic.com/products/substance-designer-4 SUBSTANCE FOR MENTAL RAY RENDER Maya Substance will work right away if you are rendering using Maya Software Render, but it will NOT render if you use Mental Ray.

Selection & Duplication In Maya

Selection Modes Let's continue by discussing the different selection options in Maya. Place a cube in your scene and click on it—the cube's edges will turn green, indicating that the object has been selected. This type of selection is called Object Mode . Maya has a number of additional selection types, and each one is used for a different set of operations. To access Maya's other selection modes, hover your mouse pointer over the cube and then click and hold the right mouse button (RMB) . A menu set will appear, revealing the Maya's component selection modes— Face , Edge , and Vertex being the most important. In the fly menu, move your mouse to the Face option and release the RMB to enter face selection mode. You can select any face by clicking its center point and can then use the manipulator tools we learned in the previous lesson to modify the shape of the model. Select a face and practice moving, scaling, or rotating it like we've done in the e...
