Maya Fundamentals and Animation Training

The Maya Fundamentals and Animation training walks you through a complete 3D production pipeline inside Autodesk Maya. You begin with the interface, navigation, and customization, then move into file management, project setup, and pipeline thinking. Modeling is taught through polygon techniques, hotbox usage, and object relationships, followed by basic rigging, control mechanisms, and IK/FK systems for character setup. Animation principles, the Graph Editor, and blend shapes give you the tools to bring scenes to life. The course continues with UV unwrapping, texturing and material creation, light types and scene placement, render engine settings, and pass rendering logic. It closes with simulations covering particles, fluids, rigid and soft bodies, hair, and fur, plus node-based compositing for final delivery.
