The Aim of the course is to introduce you to 3D animation techniques using Maya.
Maya is a very powerful and sophisticated 3D animation piece of software, but it is much more than that it incorporates a wide variety of tools for the production of digital visual effects, and to that extent it is one of the major tools used by the most prominent visual effects production facilities around the world.
In this course you will take the first steps in the use of Maya and through the development of a hands on project, you will learn to use different aspects of Maya. We will however use a “direct” approach, meaning the tools and techniques explored will serve the purpose of opening the door for you to future exploration (if you are interested ) while being used to execute your project. Hopefully by the end you would have a pretty good idea of how to use Maya efficiently, be able to use it on your own projects, and will have a nice little 3D animated project that you can show. But we must work hard, as Maya is a massive piece of software and hard work and time are required to master it
