Learning the hypershade....

[kyo]

i was pretty new to maya 3 months ago . but after blah . crazy amount time spent workign with the program . it's not as bad anymore .

but before all this . i was quite overwhelmed by all the menus converting from lightwave . the hypershade esepcially is pretty tough . it's not tough learning the basics . but they have a whole texturing network in maya which is pretty - _________ - ;;; hardcore if you ask me .

just spend time more time with it . and look up for some texutring tutorials and you'll get the basics down in no time . and there's way much more to learn even after that . TOO MUCH : |

Yeah, the basics werent hard. I know how to make bricks, shiny things, etc etc but figuring out how to make complex shading networks on your own is somewhat impossible unless your a 3d god.

*Sigh*

*Searches for more tutorials*

this may not be the solution you're looking for, but go check out gnomon's resources. They have videos you can buy for texturing and as always they look great.

I don't understand Maya's hypershade 100% either, but there are a lot of books that will help you with it. That's how i learned what i know in Maya (which isn't a lot hehe). Either books or videos... or an incredibly talented and knowledgeable co-worker. =)

good luck and i'm sorry i couldn't help anymore than that.
