Description
Autodesk Maya for Beginners Complete Course
[16hr 30min] Project Files Included
This a step-by-step tutorial showing how to use Maya. Modeling, Texturing, Rendering, Lighting, Materials, Rigging, Animation, and Dynamics will all be covered. Learn from an industry professional with over 14 years of teaching experience. You will start off creating a snowman scene that will give you an overview of the different things Maya can do. From there you will dive deep into each aspect. Project files are included so you can easily follow along. Follow from start to finish or jump into any section that you are interested in. Each video is around 10 minutes or less to help you get your information as direct as possible.
Files:
All files need Maya 2020 or newer to open
Adobe Photoshop recommended for some texturing files
Adobe After Effects recommended for some rendering lessons
