Blender Tutorial: From Maya to Blender (Character Animation)

For beginers between Maya and Blender which is the most "userfriendly" ? As far as i know theres no writen document/guides of how to use blender,my question is : should i start learning using other 3D animation softwares first ?

Why would you go from maya to blender?

To view your "playblast" in Blender... CTRL+ F11. Much quicker and easier than opening in the video editor. ;)

Having only used Blender this was cool to see how Maya works (and what it looks like).  Also cool to see that at the end of the day, they're both just tools.  Thanks for this!

Cool

Excuse me, if I ask, but ... 2.66? Why? Either the video was recorded years ago or there's a weird reason not to upgrade to 2.72 or something...

Guys! what kind of possessor do I need to be comfortable in blender?  is 8GB RAM enough?
Thanks a lot !

The only problem i have is rendering in blender took forever

Hey excellent tut and tips, cool.Pd: Playblast = Ctrl + F11, :)

lol I love blender

It takes too long in render
IS there any way to make it fast

I am switching from Blender to Maya .. but good stuff..! :-))

I love how you use the 'child of' constraint. This is all well and good, but it's only a constraint. Blender also has what I might call proper children. What you do is select what you whant the children to be and then select the object you want to be the parent and press Ctrl+P and select the relationship you want. This shortcut also works for setting an armature as the deform object for a mesh. But I'm guessing you have discovered this by now.

if blender is better than maya why most of the people and studios use maya

Seems like you didn’t capture the whole screen, the top and bottom parts are missing.

Great video !!
thank you so much, I was very curious about the comparison between blender with other 3D software, since Blender is the only one I have used so far. I thought I was overlooking some features but It looks like I was not. Blender is such a great program for lots of purposes, but as you said at the begining, the principles of animation are the same throughout every software. :D

cheers mate !! :D

nice broo

Realise blender is more complecated

Which screen recorder are you using

what software do you use in modeling characters and giving them a skeleton

Which on is better for Animation? I am starting my animation course soon.

how do you make a character in blender

Is it possible to scrub through the timeline (as well as graph/dope editors) without updating animation, similar to maya mmb?

Thank you for this video. I has really helped break the ice for me going from Maya to Blender.
