Joining the Maya Tribe

My experience with Maya has, in the past, been nil. CGI has never interested me before, partly because of the appeal of traditional, and partly the mass of maths involved. I guess I was more intimidated than against it.

The suggestion of a Maya drumkit was the spark though. How much simplier animating would be if I didn't need to worry about all these round things at different perspectives. It made perfect sense.

So Laurie Priest made me a drum kit to my specifications. Better still, he showed me how to use the thing! So I now have a grasp of the basic controllers of Maya! I've written down the instructions though, I don't trust myself to remember them forever.
