Unless there is a plugin that does this already I think youād have to write oneā¦ that is to analyze the audio and to output amplitude values for specific frequencies.
Would it be possible for anyone to update the links to the turtorials in the first post? Many of the first links (under ābasicā) appears to be dead to me.
Iām new to maya and 3d modeling in general, so I need to find some turtorials and info on where to start and how do things.
@galrot if you go to http://lesterbanks.com/ and look through the maya section, youāll see where he links the maya tutorials from and thatāll give you a good idea of where to get the ones you like.
^^ Thanks for your answer. I will check out the link you provided.
Iāve also looked at this so-called Beginnerās Guide to Maya at a digitaltutors.com so I do think I have started to get a understanding of the absolute basic in Maya.
I intend to use Maya to model cars. I found this tutorial which I intend to practice with:
http://www.cgarena.com/freestuff/tutorials/maya/gamecar/index.html
However the first step in that tutorial is to create a four wheels/cylindres in two rows next to each other. I donāt really get how Iām supposed to do that ā¦ How do I get them do line up perfectly in two rows? Any ideas or any tutorials that explain it to me?
Thanks. 
I thought Iād share this as it may be useful to some of you: www.indiegogo.com/vfxlearning
Please bear in mind that regardless of reaching the goal or not I will still release 3 Maya Dynamics courses, a RealFlow course as well as an Introduction to Maya for Effects. Each course is a bit over 12 hours of video and it will be in both English and Spanish.
Cheers
If you are completely new, instead of tackling advanced tasks, I would suggest getting a grasp of the foundation even if it takes you away from your immediate desire of car modeling temporarily. With a foundational understanding, you can better understand tutorials for specific objects like cars and be able to troubleshoot.
I recommend Lynda.com and as you already know, Digital Tutors. Best to you.

Hi good people,
I am 37 year old guy, always wanted to learn 3D since last 15 years but I didnāt get the chance and obviously no resources to learn. I tried once in 2002 to learn 3D studio max but due to personal reasons was unable to complete.
Now I have chance and time to learn and I think I can do pretty well.
Any help and suggestions will be highly appreciated. Right now I am thinking about subscription of Digital tutor.
Thanks and Regards,
Iāve found Eric Kellerās Maya books to be very well written and reasonably comprehensive. There are several.Here is the latest overview book. You can buy a used copy for 10 bucksā¦
There are also several people, including Autodesk, that have extensive Maya tutorials on YouTube.
Iād say go for digital tutors they have great tutorials for maya since start till the end also theyāve got tuts for 3ds max but iād say go for maya. their website is digitaltutors.com. If u need any further informations post me message
Also great tuts are offered on gnomon workshop website but they are basically focused on advanced users not bigginers
Thanks for advice!! I have subscribed to Digital tutor and already learning Maya 2013.
Thanks once again.
We all seen a welding machine in mechanical workshops. We are going to create the same machine in Autodesk Maya, with the use of particles. In this tutorial we will use distance dimension tool and few very simple lines of expression in Autodesk Maya. Hope you will enjoy the tutorial.

Hey guys, made my first tutorial series. Not sure how to get it out there so iām just gonna post it around! :shrug:
Flooding an Aquarium - Intergrating Realflow mesh and particles using Maya, Krakatoa MY and Nuke. (Original video here: www.vimeo.com/44535646) In part 1 I will show you how to simulate the liquid using Realflow 2013 and Hybrido. In the next two parts we will render this sim and its mesh in Maya using V-Ray and Krakatoa MY. And weāll color the Krakatoa render by velocity using Magma. And finally in the third part weāll composite it all in Nuke.
Heres Part 1. https://vimeo.com/86193617
