Rendering and Adding Texture/Color/Designs in Maya 5

1

Hi guys,

Yes the multi-talented, the one you all love to see (yea right), just got Maya 5 from his beloved father :hugegrin:.

I’m starting to like Maya and I’m a little used to some stuff.

Well I’m a beginner…and I want to know:

  1. Do you guys know a tutorial on how to render your final work in all types of formats? Like the full animation, or just one frame, or in CLAY form as some of you see online…and I also want to know how to render in like quicktime (.mov) format and stuff to publish on the net and/or edit in AE.

  2. How do I add texture and stuff to my final model…If I make something…how do I add color to a certain side, or some fur or some texture, or some clay texture…

If you guys can gimme 2 or more tutorials on how to do each, I’d be grateful and start some work to show you guys :hugegrin:. Thanks a lot.

Here is what I mean by clay:

Grim - I didn’t make anything. But for my new site I am planning to have some cool futuristic 1000 mph mini ship (lol) thats on some of the pages. I want to animate it so bad but I don’t know how to export my final animation as a format…

Thanks a lot for asking though. I have a sketch or two on paper, which I am still trying to develop. After that, I’ll start modeling and should be done with it in 2 days after I start :).
