This is a Maya tutorial. This tutorial talks about basic modeling and short cut controls. It shows how to navigate through perspective view and how to shape primitive objects. It shows the shortcuts to how to view a shape in wireframe mode, shaded form and unshaded form and shows the option of having the polycount display. Also, how to make custom shelf as well as how to add more to subdivision width, height, and depth and how to switch from Object mode to Edge, Vertex, and Face modes.
This tutorial here is of a basic walking motion using 24 looping frames. This video was very informative and it also shows how complex animation can be even with basic movement such as walking. The video also refers viewers to check out CreativeCrash.com, which is a website for 3D and animation.
This next clip is more of an inspirational video. I've always said that as superior as heavyweights like Disney and Pixar are sometimes I don't always want to see cute 3D animals talking. Sometimes I wish there were more 3D animated movies with real life characters. And this is why Resident Evil Degeneration is one of my favorites. Not only because of the 3D but because it also includes one of my other favorite genres: zombies. In my opinion it was a well animated film.
