This is the 3rd time now I've tried to teach myself 3D. This shit is hard.

I've dabbled with Cinema4D in the past, and have come up with some decent looking stuff. I chucked them up here a while ago.

But I've been told that if I'm going to get into it, I should be mastering Maya. So even after spending cash on C4D books, I put aside it's clean and simplified user interface and ability to make extremely impressive images and animations with ease, and traded it for Maya.

This transition can only really be described as going from driving an automatic car (with cruise control), to a jet plane. Sitting in the pilots seat of this thing is fucking daunting. But from what I've been told, Maya can reach heights that Cinema4D can't even get near. So, if I'm going to master something, it should be Maya, right?

In this blog, I plan to document my journey from n00b to pro/failure.

Here we go...
