A lot of people use maya to make minecraft animations. I know that all the captainsparklez animations after TNT were done in maya, and I believe slamacow uses both maya and 3ds max (a similar program)Unfortunately for people who got maya to make minecraft animations, maya is a complicated program and making blocks is a long process, especially for multi-textured blocks like grass and furnaces, and even worse for 3d blocks like chests and rails.
When I first got maya I look and looked, but no one seemed to have a set of minecraft blocks that you could download and use to create your own animation. So here is my set of blocks created for use in minecraft animations done with maya!
This is perfect for people new to maya and want to jump right into animating rather then spending a bunch of time learning how to model and texture the blocks. More experienced animators could still find this helpful, as it saves lots of time spent making each individual blocks, especially harder ones to make.
This update added the ores, and a wooden door (the door was hard since it is fully 3d.)
To do:
This set of blocks is very small and is a work in progress. I will update it whenever I add more blocks, and I also have plans for improving blocks like the crafting table, and stairs. I plan on making the tools on the crafting table 3d, and I plan on making each permutation of the stairs so that you don't need to rotate them.
I also am working on a player rig, and I plan on adding mobs. I also will be adding tools and common items, like diamonds and emeralds. Once I start adding items, I will be open to any requests for items so I can add whatever you guys need, within reason, like I may not make certain mod items unless they seem like they would be commonly used.
As for blocks to add, I want to add every vanilla block you would need in an animation, but that will take time. I may add non vanilla blocks if they are requested and seem like they would be used as well.
If anyone has any requests for blocks, or something custom you can either post it here, or if you want it only for you (like something for a specific animation) you can PM me here on the forums. I would be happy to give it a shot, but I am still pretty new to this.
Next, I plan on adding, torches, ladders, rails, and fences. May take a while since I have other stuff going on... For now torches will not include particles/light. It will just be the basic model.
