Welcome to The ULTIMATE Guide on 3D Facial Rigging for Maya in 2024!

(( Side Note: Everything taught in this course is applicable to all Autodesk Maya versions ))

Learn the A-Z’s that you need to be able to create amazing 3D character rigs and animations with the most popular and powerful 3D art program, “Autodesk Maya”

As the industry standard 3D animation software, learning Autodesk Maya is a great skill to help you land a job in the film, music and gaming industry. In this course, you’ll learn how to create and build very robust facial rigs ready for animation from scratch.

Beginner to the world of 3D Rigging and 3D Animation?

We start super simple so you need no prior experience of Autodesk Maya! With our online tutorials, you’ll be amazed at what you can achieve. We believe project-based learning is the best way to learn Rigging inside Autodesk Maya.

Learn by doing real world projects!

This course is project-based, so you will applying your new skills immediately to real 3D models.

Throughout this entire course, you’ll be working on one of the very famous characters “Super Mario“, and learn how to bring a rather stiff to life using 3D Rigging and Animation.

All the project files will be included, as well as additional references and resources – you’ll never get stuck!

By the end of the course, you’ll truly be inspired by your own skills, and confident in using Autodesk Maya.

Premium Support

Benefit from our world-class support from both other students, and the instructors who are on the forums regularly.
