Course Outline

Maya course overview

Autodesk Maya is 3D computer graphics software, It is used to create interactive 3D applications, including video games, animated film, TV series, or visual effects. Maya 3D animation software delivers a comprehensive creative feature set with tools for animation, modeling, simulation, rendering, matchmoving, and compositing on a highly extensible production platform. For visual effects, game development, post production, or other 3D animation projects.

In this course, we will cover Animation, Refining Polygonal Models, Creating Materials, Applying Textures and Rendering using Maya.

Few practical Maya 3D based projects at the end of the course will ensure that you can apply Maya on your 3D and animation projects.

This short Maya course is hands-on, instructor-led and classroom based. This training can be taken as a part-time evening course or even on the weekends. A list of all upcoming public Maya training course is given on training dragon website. Each course is restricted to a maximum of ten delegates to ensure an excellent training experience.


Who is Maya training for?

This course is for you if you would like to take full advantage of the best software for all things in 3D animation and modeling. Whether it is animation, modeling, simulation or rendering this software is an industry standard and the most powerful one in its range.
