I just downloaded a student version of Maya and I was wondering if I could get some tips on modeling in general. I was using Blender before for modeling, but I there were some features that were in Maya that Blender didn’t had, so I am interested in learning Maya. I tried using the same technique I used in blender, but idk if Maya has a mirror-modifier-like tool. I don’t even know how to extrude lol I just got this scary looking program. So, any suggestions? I tried looking for tutorials, but they dont help me that much, they seem a little too advance for now.
It’s been a long time since I first learnt Maya but I think the provided documentation and tutorials are pretty decent:

if you didnt learn maya yet
learn 3ds max it’s better for games modeling especially
i know it will take a lil bit more time to learn because it’s harder but it deserve a try
