Today we used Maya and much like After effects it is massive and a little overwhelming! You can practically make whole animated movies on the program it is that immense, which makes it quite difficult to navigate and know what will effect the animation in the way you want it.
The easiest thing we did and I think the only thing I could confidently do again is to change the menu to polygons, make a primitive polygon and maneuver it using the R, W and E keys.We also looked at rendering, saving using fluid containers to create fire and explosions and all sorts of variations but if I wanted to do any of those things again I think looking at online tutorials would be my best bet, my notes make no sense. Again what the session has shown me are the possibilities and the tools that are at our disposal, with the use of animation there are a lot of new creative things that I could do that I am itching to try out and write into scripts.
