想學MEL 應去那裡學?

[keithwmg]

我想學MEL , 但又對Computer Programming 完全不懂,
各位可否幫我諗一諗邊間學校會好D
我search 了幾間大學的進修課程,
大多數都系讀information technology,
好似對programming/MEL 幫助不大,
請大家被些意見給我好嗎?
THX~~~~~~~~~~~

以前城大有得讀..... 不過近年唔覺有喇..
睇 Maya 個'help'自學喇...努力

personal idea.

Mel are not difficult, actually quite easy. But you need to understand how maya work.

I think the best way to learn is to open the script editor then work as usual, finally study which command maya generated and which flat was turned on.

For example. when you create a nurbs sphere in maya, if you take a look at the mel it generates. there are more than one obj, which are the transform node and the shape node, were created. By studying something like this. you might know a bit more about how maya manage the scene and how can you use them as information when you script your tools.

學 mel 要懂得 c++

:o 學 mel 要懂得 c++

對呀,
所以我知道如果我不懂programming/C++ 的話, 要學MEL 就會很懂上手,
所以我想去學一些基本的programming ,
不知大家意見如何??

no, you don't really need C or C++ bkgd before you can really use mel. May be I should say this way, grab a C programming book, read the first few chapters which usually covered simple syntax like data type, variables and work flow(loops). Those material are enough for mel. Although I do encourage people to learn C or java, you just don't need them for mel.

識JAVA...(找API技術)

便懂MEL...
睇SAMPLE PROGRAM, 很易上手(有JAVA底的)
