***This course is being added to weekly*** This is meant to be a fun, introductory course on the full 3D pipeline using Autodesk Maya, the premiere 3D content creation and animation software. This course is specifically meant for students at the high school level or above. We are going to be learning how to use Maya, we will start learning polygonal modeling, then we will learn texturing, rigging, animation, lighting and rendering. We will even be doing simple character and creature modeling & animation.

It’s my goal to get you up to speed feeling the confidence to model anything you want, texture it, rig it, animate it, light and render it. You’ll finish this course able to do 3d modeling of any creature or character you want for games, videos, effects, or internet memes. 3d modeling and animation will open up new worlds of creativity for you! 

Learning can be difficult. That’s why I encourage my students to have fun with the process and regularly take the time to not take the difficult process of learning too seriously. If you’re not having fun learning 3d it’s simply not worth your time, that’s why I guarantee this will be the most entertaining course on 3d animation in Maya that you’ll ever take! Join me as we have a blast learning to master Autodesk Maya together!
