Maya Animation Course

What will you learn?

Interface

We’ll start by going over the Maya interface and understand how to work with different layouts, scenes and how to select and manipulate objects.

Animation Basics

We'll go over different animation tools and methods, keyframing, interpolation types and even using the graph editor.

Setting Up for Animation

After learning our way around Maya, we'll create a new scene and import a rig. We'll learn how to use that rig, as well as how to work with cameras.

Animating a Shot

After our scene is ready for animation, we'll sketch our poses with the grease pencil, block our shot and polish it until it's ready for rendering.

Export a Finished Shot

After finishing the animation we'll learn some basic render methods to get a nice looking final render out of Maya, and then export it using After Effects to end up with a great looking shot, suited for a demo-reel.

Super detailed,

fast paced.

We hate long, dragged-out tutorials. We believe in bite-sized lessons with a clear structure that get straight to the point without skipping any important information. We’ll take you step-by-step through the program’s learning curve.

Animation training can get expensive.

Animation courses can be pricey, often in the thousands of dollars. These programs cover entire skill sets, including many topics you'll probably never use. Our courses are just the right size and very cost-effective, teaching exactly what you need to know to start animating right away.

Membership Shmembership

We don't follow the membership model most course platforms use to keep you paying every month. We give you lifetime access for a one-time payment.
