Tips and Tricks / Maya Hot Keys!!

Uncategorized May 02, 2021

Hey Animators! 

I added a new video to the Reel-Monster Youtube channel! This one covers my hot key setup in Maya. This workflow is what allowed me to work much faster and more efficiently. 

I finally got to that point where I was tired of eye fatigue and going home drained each night. My co-worker suggested I change my hotkey workflow so I wouldn't have to look at my keyboard as much. I gave it a try and noticed a HUGE change in my workflow the first day. 

Give it a try and see if it helps you the way it helped me. Or build your own workflow and make a change in your workflow. 

Remember! Work smarter, not harder. 

Happy Animating!

-Mike
