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.
Software
Operating System
  • Microsoft® Windows® 7 (SP1) and Windows® 10 Professional operating system
  • Apple® Mac OS® X 10.10.5, and 10.11.x operating system
  • Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® 6.5  & 7.2 WS operating system
  • CentOS 6.5  & 7.2 Linux operating system
  • Nvidia Guide for Virtualization with GRID & VMWare
Browser
Autodesk recommends the latest version of the following web browsers for access to online supplemental content:
  • Apple® Safari® web browser
  • Google Chrome™ web browser
  • Microsoft® Internet Explorer® web browser
  • Mozilla® Firefox® web browser

This is the basic system requirement for installing the latest version of Maya 2017. You can install it


Let’s catch up again when you have made your system ready and next we will learn how to animate things.

Modelling Tools In Maya

By now you should know how to create a polygon primitive and begin modifying its shape by pushing and pulling edges, faces, and vertices . That's a step in the right direction, but it's really only part of the battle—it's virtually impossible to create a highly complex model from a basic primitive without making wholesale alterations to the mesh. To truly begin making finished 3D pieces , we need to learn how to modify the topology of our model by adding faces and edges where we need more detail or control. There are literally dozens of different tools in Maya's modeling shelf, but many of them are only useful in specific situations. In practice, you'll probably spend 90% of your time using the same five or six commands. Instead of introducing every single tool Maya has to offer and having you forget how to use half of them, in the next few lessons we'll take a look some of the most commonly used techniques in Maya's polygon workflow. Insert E...

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...

Object Manipulation In Maya

Object Manipulation Tools   So now you know how to place an object in your scene and modify some of its basic attributes. Let's explore some of the ways we can change its position in space. There are three basic forms of object manipulation in any 3D application —translate (or move), scale, and rotate. Obviously, these are all operations that sound relatively self-explanatory, but let's take a look at some of the technical considerations. There are two different ways to bring up the translate, scale, and rotate tools: First, they can be accessed from the toolbox panel (pictured above) on the left side of your viewport. The second (preferred method) is to use keyboard hotkeys. During the modeling process , you'll be switching between tools constantly, so it's a good idea to learn the commands as quickly as possible. With an object selected, use the following hotkeys to access Maya's translate, rotate, and scale tools: Translate - w . Rotate - e...
