It’s alright mike. As long as you’re happy then we’re happy 😊
Thanks Dennis
You’re welcome 😊
@@MHTutorials3D thanks Mike ...we all love u. Thanks for being with us.
Don't apologize, Mike!
This is your channel, your passion and your preference.
We appreciate your modeling tutorials, no matter the software :)
Same thing i tried mike ..... After some tutorials i left blender learning...same feeling i am not a blender guy.....
Thanks
im so glad seeing MIke speak his mind about blender. I was getting tired of the "wow! blender is awesome! blender taking over! blender the future! leaving my software for blender videos ! i was planning to leave 3ds max and had to choose between blender and maya. after 3 attempts on blender (2.7, 2.8), and 2 attempts on maya. i decide to go with maya and honestly when it comes to doing actual work ,Maya is way ahead of blender in alot of ways. I also will rate Maya over 3ds max .
He never said Blender is bad. Blender IS awesome but it has it's applications and it has its limits. I've worked in most of these programs as well and for me - I am not a Maya guy. Sure it can do a lot but it feels SUPER uncomfortable to use for me and also has (despite how much it's used) surprisingly many shortcomings and limitations. Also it's always a good idea to chose the right software for the right application. If I have a software at my disposal and the work is done fastest there - why would I stick to another.
even though i use blender and find it quite comfy as a beginner, 100% agreed.
@@blendwork_channel733 i ddint say he said blender is bad either, nor am i claiming blender is bad.
Im saying blender is over hyped expecially with so many misleading videos and comments on youtube. Blender is nice but lacks in alot of areas, although with time it will get better.
I'm learning it again for the forth time and been coming along only with the help of a ton of addons to properly suit my workflow.
Gawwddd!!! I thought you were going to quit giving tutorials! I thought you were going to say that you would only do a blender tuts! I am not a Blender person neither but i use both blender and maya. I use mainly Maya, though.
Thanks Vanessa
what a fright you've given me Mike, I thought you were again with some health problem or something... the decision you make is fine dude, your channel has been made based on Maya, not doing Blender tutorials. besides If the followers of your channel are there, it is to learn what you share with こ こ ろ, if they would not be on other channels ... keep going!!
Having used
Maya
Maxx
And Blender
I can honestly say Maya is the most intuitive.
Dear sir,
With full of heart i respect you sir.
I can't tell how much I learned and how much I enjoyed your video. I know about the maya just because of your tutorial. Please keep posting tutorial. Of which ever software it is i real want you to continue.
What's ever software it is
Maya or blender I just want learn from you.
Thank you
STFU
A. J. Chen please leave the rudeness in your own mouth.
Fair! Blender has so much different command controls and navigation. It’s understandable .
There are tons of people doing great Blender tutorials, it's totally fine if you want to focus on Maya! The people who want or need Blender will find their community elsewhere, the people who want Maya will find a great learning experience with you :)
First of all You are the creator of this channel and You have a passion which you share with your viewers. Having said that i do admit i was a bit curious how will the Blender tuts work out. But i must also say that im a Maya guy, trying to learn Blender but as far as i got so far, i find it not that user friendly (well except for licencing where blender is 100% user friendly ;) ). So imho do what you do best and feel good about in software that works for you. So regardles if Blender will be here or not, here is already a tonn of useful vids to watch. And i am looking forward for more :)
That's so good that ,are not leaving , maya tutorial. Can you please make video on , substance painter.
I am on the same page as you Mike. I have used Blender, Lightwave, SoftImage, plus a bunch of others over the years but looking back on it, I wish I had just stuck with Maya for pretty much everything... animation, modelling and so on, which I do now. I find that it just feels good all round. Its like jumping into your favorite car. By the way, thanks for all the great stuff you have provided!
Good to to hear that. I have tried blender myself also, and I agree with u. Welcome back haha.
Hey Mike, first off, thank you for all the knowledge you've given us, I'd like to think of you as someone who shares my ethos of paying it forward and I really appreciate what you do.
Totally understand about Blender, as someone said below, I tried and left it because yeah, it just wasn't for me.
So, thank you and long may you run!
The artist is not defined by his tools... unless the artist doesn't know which button to click! Having switched from 3ds Max to Maya to Lightwave back to Maya through employment and personal work, I know how exhausting it can be. Use the software you know the best and can produce results most efficiently. Maya's not going anywhere, so keep at it 👍
I feel the same. Years studying Maya and now that I finished university I don't have money to pay a licence, I have to move to Blender, and I am not a Blender guy... I'm going to keep using Maya while I try yo understand Blender.
By the way, I wanted to tell you that at least a little bit of my university degree is thanks to you. Thanks Mike!
As a Maya user I also tried Blender and its not for me. I am glad you made this video because its exactly how I feel and you expressed it in the most beautiful way possible. Thank You!!
Hey Mike, that's ok, no need to apologize. This is your channel, you have to do whatever makes you feel comfortable and happy! Your tutorials are great and I'll keep watching them according to my needs and interests. Thanks for all the amazing videos :)
Thank you Mike for all the great content you've provided throughout the years.
Great teacher, great person.
Mike, i feel the same. Tried to learn blender but the shortcuts are too big a jump for me. Move rotate and scale feels too weird from the w e r keys of maya.. keep up the the great vids!
There's a hotkey setup premade in Blender to make it more like Maya. I've actually been doing the opposite and making Maya more like the Blender hotkeys I was using! Apart from WER, that makes more sense having them close together.
It's okay, whatever you choose Maya is the industry standard after all sensei
That is awesome. There are unproportionally more vids featuring Blender but only few places where you can go for quality Maya stuff. Your channel is one of those places, so here goes one more bit of support for your decision. Please keep releasing awesome stuff)
I remember when I subscribed watching "Making money as a 3D Artist". I came for 3D advice and stayed for your maturity and character. Thanks for the honesty. I look up to you. 🙉!
thanks mike you are MAYA guy so keep up with MAYA , more on rigging a character, advanced hard surface modeling, skinning, more on retopology, some animation, also advanced shading, there are a lot of tutorial that i expect in near future from you using MAYA! thanks
Hi Dave from Colorado here, I get where you're coming from, I started in 2000 with 3D Max Autodesk, just as I was getting good with the software, my computer died, I've been using Maya 2013, and it took me a good year to navigate the software, I have an old version of blender, it has different hotkeys, and learning how to navigate the software all over again is frustrating....keep up your good work and thanks
Hola, acabo de ver tu video. Yo agradezco tu honestidad al aceptar que lo tuyo es Autodesk Maya y que no piensas cambiar a otras aplicaciones como Blender. Para mi, tu eres el mejor en Maya, he visto tus videos y he aprendido mucho. Considero que en TH-cam hay contenido para todas las necesidades, lo que debemos hacer es aceptar que cada TH-camr es experto en su ramo y no querer que se conviertan en expertos en todo, eso es imposible. Gracias nuevamente MH, un abrazo desde México.
All good buddy! Completely understand your! I have tried as we, not a big fun but probably will have to use on and off.
Thanks 👍
I think everyone has different ways of doing things. I try to look for hows' and the whys' behind a workflow. Appreciate your videos so far.
While it is a shame that there won't be more beginner 3DS Max videos I completely understand. Just wanted to let you know that the two videos you did do helped me greatly in a class I am currently taking. Once my term is over I will be checking out your Maya videos and seeing how I like that vs working in 3DS Max. If the Maya videos are as well done and clear to follow I will have a lot of fun learning Maya as well. By the way I only just discovered your channel for myself three days ago, I was behind in class and now thanks to you I am caught up again!
Thank you so much MMG
You've catered to many many people and have given your time and efforts to try to make everyone happy, and that itself, is an impossible task as there will always be something more that someone wants to learn....myself included. No one can realistically expect you to learn and create tuts for every software. You make these videos because you enjoy teaching the software that you enjoy using and that you feel most comfortable with, and once you try to satisfy everyone, it becomes a chore. Do what makes you happy, Mike. Personally, I've downloaded Blender but never actually used it because I discovered the same thing, it's learning the same thing over again, but different program, and only because it's free software. I know many people believe Blender is superior, and that's their right to believe that, but Maya is still the industry standard and, to me, anyway, it makes the most sense to focus on.
One software I would love to see you cover is Houdini, but... that package is a nightmare and takes way to long to get into. But it would be nice to see.
Thank you for your honesty and I really appreciate it Thanks. Keep the good job 🤟
I appreciate that!
I think it is a good decision, as you would like to give your best. You can only give your best if you are confident and love what you do... Good on you Mike, keep up the good work!
Oh god I was so worried. This is a relief!
Respect. Besides learning about the 3d industry from Mike, i think we also learn to make wise decisions that keep us happy. Thank you for the honesty.
My pleasure!
Sir can I say something I don't know if you are gonna read it or not but if you do then believe me you are doing a really great job and as a student my first model was that guiter from your tutorial and that was super helpful not only that but your each and everyone video I found really helpful and forget about that blend thing you are fine with Maya and I'm here for that...I wish in future you gonna make more interesting video on Maya ...from heart thank you so much ❤️ and I love you
Maya 💗
Thank you for tutorials
My pleasure 😊
You're good, Mike :) Do what works for you. Hell, I've tried Blender several times over the years, but I get pulled back to Maya each and every time. But as you say, the price is just unsustainable and if I go with the student version, my renders are kaput. I just wish there was another Maya-like software out there that was at least affordable. And not Blender :x
Happiness begins with you, am Happy for you and your decision, it is personal and convincing enough and as long as it gives you inner satisfaction and joy, please do it, am also inline with your opinion and thanks for the hours you have put so far in helping self taught animators like me and special thanks to your sponsors and everyone on your patreon platform.
Well, the point here, in my honest opinion is that you're being honest with your subscribers. I think that will matter the most. As said many times before, keep up the good work my friend!
Thank you Mike great job to you
Talking About 3D Coat
Is It Still good using it today
Thank you
You have a very helpful nice Channel
this is great, could you make a video of the UV Editor in maya, right now im using UV Layout, but i feel that i dont know enough about UV in maya
Thank you for not switching to blender ! Your tutorials on maya are so informative and I wouldn't want to lose that .
I don't think the software really matter, as long as i get the idea on how to make something it's all good, plus i don't think this is something for people to be upset about. I thought you were quitting, that I would be upset about.
Mike! I've tried other 3D software packages and like you none of them gives me the confidence that Maya does. It's good that you are honest with your viewers at the very least they have to respect you and your decision because let's be honest they aren't going to pay your salary in order to see blender videos from you.
Np Mike ...! 👍 I have the same feeling about it. Regards. 🤗
And Can You also Make a 3d boat modeling without timelapse please
Thank you
I think you should start reviewing successful maya plugins and tools made by the maya community that helps the workflow
I've been using Blender for a few months (hardcore) and I really enjoy the speed of it. Everything makes sense and I'm not missing much (except for transform constraints)... recently started using Maya to prep for the future and it's just....it's just not streamlined. It's slow, clunky and missing a lot of basics. I've been using Blender addons, things like LoopTools etc...and Maya has some too but they're so old I worry how much longer they'll actually be supported. Without them, Maya is not great for modeling. Maybe the worst I've seen. You can't even shear an edge for god's sake. And ZenTools feels like it's just hanging in there.
You could go with Maya I use both maya and blender I could easily translate what you do in maya to blender at least in modeling. I am not familiar with animation so modeling is ok for me . If we know the basic software doesn't matter
Can't say I'm much of a Blender person myself either. I have it installed and do use it occasionally, but I just plain don't like how it works. It's great, but I don't enjoy it.
I think it's great that you're sticking with Maya because there are plenty of Blender tutorials out there anyway, unlike Maya!
Thanks Marcy, haven't heard from you in a while ! Hope you are doing well
Can you make your playlists more specific? Like one playlist for maya rendering only, one on maya Beveling and smoothing and remeshing, like this maybe?
I'm with you sir ❤️
I love Mike, I love Maya, I don't know the key to success but the key to failure is trying to please everyone
WE WANT MAYA ALONE HERE
Dude im using maya education for almost 5 years now...
I would say that maya is my main platform 100%
But im gonna use blender and other 3d softwares for other purposes when it comes to 3d animating and modelling etc...
hat's so good that ,are not leaving , maya tutorial. Can you please make video on , substance painter. AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING
Easiest solution: Clone Mike.
1 goes on with maya, on goes on with blender.
Love you 100%
I'll still learn blender from you even though I love Maya.
Same goes for me. Yes, I use blender but just for delivering projects that demand blender file.
Besides I am a die heart fan of MAYA.
MAYA for ever 👌
Dont worry mike, blender tutorial are so easy to find
Ave Maya!
Maya or Blender ...I hope you always give the best
Of course
Oooo no Mike what you mean only 24 hours in a day you don't need sleep. You do load of great video keep up the good work
Can u start tutorials on character modelling in maya
I love working in Maya
It's alright. Neither am I. I tried. I really did..
yes i prefer maya too
Blender is not my software either. Team maya all the way 🤓❤
Maya👌
I think I'm echoing most of the respondents, but stick with what drives your passion. I like both Blender and Maya, but that's just me. I think your contribution to the Maya content on TH-cam is top notch, and think that your time is best spent on what both pleases you and moves you forward as an artist/modeler/creator. Blender is definitely not for everyone, especially now, since the cash infusion they seem to have gotten has sent the development of the software into warp speed. I can barely get used to the changes of a new release when ANOTHER one hits, with a boatload of new features and some IRRITATING tweaks. (Please, Blender devs, QUIT MOVING STUFF AROUND on point releases!)
Okay, baby rant off. You produce excellent Maya content, and I tune in for that. I seldom use the Substance or 3D Coat or ZBrush stuff here, because there are dedicated channels for that.
Thanks for doing what you do, and I appreciate the Maya tutorials you have put out over the years.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ for a moment I thought you were going to quit or to close the channel...
No, no
My heart was beating fast to feel I'm gonna hear something like that but at the end I become happy and relaxed ❤️
It's your channel Mike, and I'm sure your real fans will support your decision regardless of what platform you are using
what happened to the Victorian challenge?
Uv mapping tutorial on maya
Isn't minimizing expenses also good business behaviour? You could save gbp1900 a year if you switched to Blender.
Maya indie is $ 250 a year
@@MHTutorials3D Ok that's affordable to most people in developed countries. I'll consider switching to Maya Indie!
Am no one to judge Mike..let it out bud!!... we love you still!!.. hahaahahahah
Isn't maya indie now $250 a year? It's very doable
It is :-)
I thought you where going to say " I quit"
Nope :-)
So I’ve heard that Blender now has Microsoft $$$.
there is more videos of blender in the last 3 years than any other 3d software...soo there is alot to look out of your channel
Mike Maya indie is only £250 a year has everything a freelancer would need
@@GamercastMMs sure you could use a VPN also it's available in the UK if that counts
please do zbrush
Bro i have a doubt in modelling . please bro can u modell it for me if i give u reference image of the model.
What's the model🤔
@@minizeref6245 its pipeline type.
@@pranavrastogi4862 can you show it?
@@minizeref6245 how to show here bro.
@@pranavrastogi4862 post it in Mike group
sir is production house might change their track to Maya to Blender because it's free to open source license also it has CG lighting texturing modelling animation rigging as well as VFX stuff like tracking match move and wire removal stuff ?? so think to move up to blender now!!! or sir you can do both Maya & Blender tutorial party in a 7 days a week
There's more than one way to skin a cat. So there's that.
phew....
There is no debate.. Blender and Maya are almost identical. The only thing missing from Blender is a retopology tool. Which is already in development. The biggest thing is preference and necessity. Some people prefer maya and thats fine. Some people need to use Blender for financial reasons and thats fine too. I learned maya and mastered it as my first 3D software. I use it every day at work. I also use blender every day at work. Its tough, but its doable. Thanks for all the hard work Mike.
Oml every youtuber is confessing these days
Really ? I didn't notice. Just being honest
Only Autodesk Maya❤️❤️❤️❤️✌️✌️✌️
ho no
That's all? Don't make us worry.
Just being honest
I started with Maya(with MH tutorials :) ) and had to switch to Blender. It was a huge jump because i wasn't really that experienced back then and Blender was hard to grasp. I have to admit first month was painful.. I sweared a lot! :) But i am happy with blender right now probably i can't switch to other programs either. When you get used to blender you might not find the same comfort in other programs . Like mike said it's kind of re-inventing the wheel it has it's own learning curve..(not to scare people of course :) I definitely encourage people to switch to blender it's just awesome.) What i couldn't get used to though is using Blender's navigation.. I have been still using Maya's navigation in Blender since i switched :))
what will happened when Blender becomes the Industry's standard mike? I told you give blender 2 to 3 years.. you heard it here first!!! you have a Two generations of 3d artist behind us and they all have choosen Blender.. Love Maya n Max but they wont be able to compete with this new wave generation! maya will need to be free and who knows if they (new Gen) would even look at it!! Time changes. people change. new things are born... you cannot be on top forever.. just saying!
mae and just saying: don’t force. Nobody forced you to choose whatever software you use
@@doodlefondue not forcing.. thats reality.. whos forcing? empires fall. others rises. sports teams win. then fall again till they pick themselves up..
the end of cable television is already over. who said cable was going to last forever?
you cannot be on top for ever. there will always be a new movement of generations, thinkers. innovators.. the question is: for how long will I be on TOP.?
who does character design by poly extruding? NO one. Zbrush came along and innovated the field..
same thing is happening to autodesk. they been on top for the past 38 years... theres a time others will catch up.. one way or other.. just saying!!
if I were you I too. would start playing with Blender... get your feet wet...
mae ok nobody can be on top forever, and i also use Blender, but what’s the correlation with Mike’s decision? You can’t accept? It shows already.
mae and i do think that it is too early for Mike to give blender tuts now. Maybe soon if he is more advance. What everyone needs is time
