Post 1: An Introduction And What I hope To Achieve.

First of all I would like to welcome you to my blog. I am a college student attending GMIT in Galway and have recently gained an interest in modelling and animating objects via autodesk's new program, Maya. To briefly sum up Maya in simple terms, it is a piece of software used to model, render and animate 3-D objects. These objects can then be used in many different forms of media (such as movies), but I will talk more in more detail about Maya's function in my next post. I'm using this post to serve as a intro too what I hope too achieve in this blog. The main point of this blog serves as a way I can express on how someone who is new to autodesk Maya, like me, finds the program. I shall be posting my work on projects I do onto this blog as well, beginning with the projects I done for a presentation I did on Maya (which got me interested in it in the first place). In terms of schedule, I am hoping to post twice per week with a new blog entry on Tuesdays and Thursdays. My next blog entry will be a lot more long and have much more detailed information on Maya, including pictures and videos of the software in use. By the end of the sixth week I hope I will have enough experience in Maya to show my viewers how much you can progress in such little time.
