Description
In this intermediate Maya animation course, we will walk through every step of the process to create an animation with a Millenium Falcon with 3D LEGOs in a Star Wars-inspired trench run environment using Autodesk Maya.
If you've never opened Maya before I recommend getting familiar with the interface before jumping into this course as I move kind of fast. This course is ideal for people who have taken my Maya for Beginners course and are looking to expand their skills, especially for people who find animating difficult I demonstrate some cool tricks in this course for you.
You just need a copy of Maya (they offer a free 30-day trial) and some prior experience using Maya to be able to follow along.
I do discuss a few paid plugins but I also offer free alternatives as well so you don't need any paid plugins if you don't want to follow those aspects.
This course will put it all together:
Create a project from scratch
Use instances and stand-ins with Arnold
Animate easily with your iPhone or mouse
Animate with clever tricks to enhance and loop your animation
Adjust animation quickly and easily
Animate lasers using particles
Light and Render your animation
By the end of the course, you will feel more comfortable and confident using Maya and creating a scene from scratch from model to final render.
Who Should Attend!
- Novice's to Intermediate Maya users who've opened and used Maya but are still intimidated making an entire scene
