You can create 3D animations in Autodesk Maya!

Learn everything you need to know to get started – taught by a Hollywood professional!

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 your entire animation from scratch.

What sets this course series apart from the rest? It’s focused purely on animation! We will notcover modeling, texturing, rigging, because if you want to be a professional animator you need to focus only on animation.

What will you learn?

Getting started with Maya and understanding the interface
Create your first animation quickly and easily
Physics for Animators
Manipulating keyframes in the graph editor
Controlling your animation with precision
Master the bouncing ball
Animate the building block of all body mechanics, a pendulum
Lay the foundation for all your animation knowledge
Learn by doing Challenges and completing Quizzes

Throughout this entire course, you’ll be animating ‘Challenges’ and taking Quizzes to lock in your knowledge. By the end of the course, you’ll truly be inspired by your own skills, and confident in using Autodesk Maya.

What do you get when you enroll?

15+ hours of easy-to-follow tutorials
Extra animation demonstrations
Downloadable project files for every step of the course
Premium support to help you as you take the course
