mike you are the only youtuber that deserves to put ads on your videos. they won't bother me. you pretty much deserve it. idk if you have them. if you dont, you can contact me anytime if you need help with that. Man I can't thank you enough for your videos. keep on.
Great video even for people who have used maya for a while it can be so easy to forget all of the little tricks that speed up your workflow! Thanks man- your videos are always great!
Mike Hermes, always the best person I can refer to whenever I have any difficulty... Thanks so much for these wonderful videos, u have really helped me and a lot of other people...
Another helpfull trick you can do like n°10 for visibility of your meshes is to isolate the ones you want to work with. You just need to push ctrl+1 and all the other things except the ones you had selected will disappear from your viewport until you press the combination again. I've been using this alot beacause you can use it for both object and component selection.
Just would like to add that when moving the pivot; by holding 'D', you can also snap to vertex (also hold 'V') or grid (hold 'X'), that way you can place it precisely where you wish to put it. Thanks for the tips though, there was a few that I did not know and shall come in handy.
+Mike Hermes That's cool and understandable, just thought I'd add it in the comments to add extra help for anyone new to Maya. Thanks again for the handy tips.
instead of hitting ctrl+H to make an object disappear, you can add it to a layer. this way, you can turn it off and on quickly and easily for the rest of the time that you're working on it.
Awesome Mike, i love than you are so calm and take it nice and easy so everybody can follow you without have to pause and play every 10sec. Best Maya Channel on YT. and the picture of you in the last wow you look like someone i dont want to piss off :)
if you mean wich picture ? its the last one in the video, where you stand with your arms crossed, you look like someone that lifted some pretty heavy weights. ;) only a compliment ( not sure if that is spelled right)
Mike Hermes And all I want to say is that you should be more coerent with the title, it should be "My top 10 basic tips" not even "tricks", because again these are basic things you should know if you use maya. Also in number 4 you sad "there is no additional mesh going on", like...are you serious? If you really know what you are talking about then you should know that hitting 3 on the keyboard actually subdivides the mesh, but its not applying the subdivision to the original model, its just creating another model and showing you that model with the subdivision you have set in the smooth mesh panel in the attribute editor (see here prntscr.com/cotxas), if you still dont belive me try to hit 3 on a high poly model, you will see that it will take several seconds if not more to smooth preview, thats because it is actually subdiving the mesh and show you the result apart from the original model. No hate man, just want to be clear. Cheers
O_o the 7 key really helped me out. I vaguely had a memory of being able to do it but i forgot and been annoyed about starting a render every time to see where the light was.
I'm curious about Maya. What about it is better than Blender? What is your favorite tool in Maya- what can you do with Maya that yoh can't do with any other tool? I keep trying to learn it, but I don't like the interface. It seems limiting and slow, maybe just because I had a bad teacher. But it doesn't seem to be worth $1000 a year compared to Blender, which of course is free (I have donated to Blender, though).
The ''b'' does stand for background and I am sure Mike knows that, but that is not what he was trying to convey. He was trying to convey communication code as to not confuse similar sounding letters. The proper universal code would have been ''bravo''. Here is the list: A = Alpha B = Bravo C = Charlie D = Delta E = Echo F = Foxtrot G = Golf H = Hotel I = India J = Juliet K = Kilo L = Lima M = Mike N = November O = Oscar P = Papa Q = Quebec R = Romeo S = Sierra T = Tango U = Uniform V = Victor W = Whiskey X = X-Ray Y = Yankee Z = Zulu
You both make valid points, but using "background" for "b" is easier to remember and adequately clear, in fact, one of the words he uses is "berry" which is a bad choice as "b" can sound like "v" and "berry" can sound like "very". "b" is also for "brush" for the area affected (tip #7). And of course "d" for "duplicate", "h" for "hide".
Hey Mike, I'm trying to start earning some money by selling my work online. I watched your videos on the topic. What website do you think is the best? And how do I export MIA_MATERIAL_X into an FBX? I tried and it didn't work. Please help!
everything about it here knowledge.autodesk.com/support/maya-lt/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2015/ENU/MayaLT/files/GUID-0ABD3054-E7E2-4DBD-BCA9-53B8058AF6AF-htm.html
That awesome feeling when you know all of these just from watching Mikes videos! Thanks Mike.
Thank you !
A tip : you can watch series at flixzone. I've been using it for watching a lot of movies these days.
@Vicente Weston yea, been using flixzone for months myself :D
Very nice

Yes, I know about snapping but I wanted to do 1 tip per item
+Mike Hermes That's cool and understandable, just thought I'd add it in the comments to add extra help for anyone new to Maya.
Thanks again for the handy tips.
Thanks Mike! You are a legend!
Thank you !
I love that you use these tricks in your video, we learn it.
Yes I do and I keep on repeating them time and time again. ( sometimes annoying but it helps to remember )
instead of hitting ctrl+H to make an object disappear, you can add it to a layer. this way, you can turn it off and on quickly and easily for the rest of the time that you're working on it.
Thx Mike didn't knew about the T and J, there are so many in maya but always great to pick up some extras.
No problem Z
Awesome Mike, i love than you are so calm and take it nice and easy so everybody can follow you without have to pause and play every 10sec. Best Maya Channel on YT. and the picture of you in the last wow you look like someone i dont want to piss off :)
OK, now I have to now, who ?
if you mean wich picture ? its the last one in the video, where you stand with your arms crossed, you look like someone that lifted some pretty heavy weights. ;) only a compliment ( not sure if that is spelled right)
LOL, Ok, I see what you mean ...
I don't use Maya that much anymore but these that you call "tips and tricks" are the basics of maya...
And ?......
Mike Hermes

Point taken
Mike Hermes
Good! Hope I helped, again no hate man.
@@MHTutorials3D can I just say *OUFFF*
O_o the 7 key really helped me out. I vaguely had a memory of being able to do it but i forgot and been annoyed about starting a render every time to see where the light was.
Good :-)
6 - aiming a point light. 7 - also called soft selection 8 - keep pressed "x" to snap to grid.
Very helpful. Thank you so much!
Your videos are all a great help. Thanks.
Thanks
fabulous tutorial, very appreciate that, thanks guy!
You are very, very welcome
This is a very informative video. thank you very much Mike!
Thank you Coleen ! I appreciate that
super cool! thanx!
Thank you !
thanks a lot....😊
Nice basics video for Maya. Sweet!
Thanks
Was very helpful! Thanks for sharing what you know. :)
You are very welcome
really nice and very helpful
Thank you
Every beginner should watch this, I would have saved so much time if i did so
Thanks !
Like how the game, Jet Set Radio's texture looks.
Hey Mike do you think you can do a video on how to give a scene a Cel Shaded look for video games please?
You mean like the old 2D cells ?
Thanks for this tips Sir,I want to know how to mirror a polygon object like the 3ds max command.
Don't know, don't use 3DS
awesome video, although i knew around 7 of it already :) could you please make a more advanced one ?
9 my self haha, I just never new number 7, the rest I already use! More advanced videos would be awesome!
Working on it
Hey, do you use your wacom for Maya? and thanks for the videos. 😊
I have a Wacom yes, but I don't use it in Maya
Somehow I like this for some reason
Nice and thank you :d
Merci Mike!👍😁
Thank you
Nice tutorials keep up
Thanks
Hi Mike , tips Number 4 when I press 3 for smooth it’s change the triangles number? Thank you.
Hitting 3 is a preview, not an actual chnge
What's the difference between CP, EP and Bezier curve tools ?
For the vertex thing on the cube, how do you make sure the vertex is displayed, mine does not change to show the points.
Which one are you talking about ?
Love Maya, no matter how many people fight over Blender
Well Blender is free
I'm curious about Maya. What about it is better than Blender? What is your favorite tool in Maya- what can you do with Maya that yoh can't do with any other tool?
I keep trying to learn it, but I don't like the interface. It seems limiting and slow, maybe just because I had a bad teacher. But it doesn't seem to be worth $1000 a year compared to Blender, which of course is free (I have donated to Blender, though).
Personally i just use the channel editer and keep the different ellements on differet layers, making them visable when i need them.
That works too
Thnx didnt knew about 6 and 9
You are welcome !
hi mike i have a doubt ...
difference between detach and extract in maya?
Extract let's you "stretch" out a face without removing it from it's original location. Detach cuts it so you can move it
thank you :D
But the light used in number 6 is a point light. Aiming it or turning it at all makes no difference, you can see in the video.
COOL!
Thanks
1:50 how about the b for background lol
The ''b'' does stand for background and I am sure Mike knows that, but that is not what he was trying to convey. He was trying to convey communication code as to not confuse similar sounding letters. The proper universal code would have been ''bravo''. Here is the list: A = Alpha
B = Bravo
C = Charlie
D = Delta
E = Echo
F = Foxtrot
G = Golf
H = Hotel
I = India
J = Juliet
K = Kilo
L = Lima
M = Mike
N = November
O = Oscar
P = Papa
Q = Quebec
R = Romeo
S = Sierra
T = Tango
U = Uniform
V = Victor
W = Whiskey
X = X-Ray
Y = Yankee
Z = Zulu
:3
You both make valid points, but using "background" for "b" is easier to remember and adequately clear, in fact, one of the words he uses is "berry" which is a bad choice as "b" can sound like "v" and "berry" can sound like "very".

Hey Mike, I'm trying to start earning some money by selling my work online. I watched your videos on the topic. What website do you think is the best? And how do I export MIA_MATERIAL_X into an FBX? I tried and it didn't work. Please help!
I would recommend more than 1 website. Try Turbosquid, 3DExport and 3DSquirrel. As for materials, you need to bake them first
What was number 7 called? Like if I wanted to find out what it was called what would I look for in the drop downs?
It is called soft selection.
I don't know if there is a drop down for it. :)
everything about it here knowledge.autodesk.com/support/maya-lt/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2015/ENU/MayaLT/files/GUID-0ABD3054-E7E2-4DBD-BCA9-53B8058AF6AF-htm.html
7 activates the light, not the soft select
Activating light. They are the buttons directly above your modeling panel
there are settings for it in the modelling tool kit, you can change the fall off curve and how it interacts with other objects around the selection
I want some advance trick and technique for modeling please
i have a question. how to select every other faces? Thank you in advance!
Ian Bermundo shift ctrl i if i remember correctly
You doing great work.. And video was also great!!!
But that was too basic video.. I already known every single point that you said!!
A lot of people do not....

6:54 Hit Ctrl + H
H for Hotel
