About the Maya training course

Bespoke intensive Autodesk Maya training is available for your staff. They will receive a comprehensive overview of digital design software, equipment and techniques accompanied with targeted practical hands on experience. To start with, you will learn the essentials of Maya . Students will learn the interface, basic modeling skills and how to create, deform and subdivide forms. Students will also learn how to apply animation, basic rendering and implement dynamics into their workflow using cloth, particles and springs.

You’ll start with the interface, including display styles, basic transformations and zooming to objects. Then you’ll move onto Modelling, including geometry types, 3D site modelling, adding local detail and subdivisions.

More advanced concepts include Dynamics, Rendering and Animation.
