Your peek inside the workshop
Students who recently completed Maya Workshop: Animation Basics are super excited to tell you all about it:
-
Demystifying Maya
“Maya is a tricky software. I had tried learning it before on my own and was completely overwhelmed by it — all the different menus, controls, etc. were things I had never seen before in any other software. I didn’t know where to start. The Maya workshop was a great way to learn how Maya works — the assignments were practical and helped me understand what was possible with Maya. Anytime I had questions, I could ask my mentor or trainer and they gave excellent feedback and tips.”
-
Not just animation
“I loved that the workshop focused on more than just learning Maya for animation. We also learned a little bit about lighting, modeling, surfacing, and rendering. I learned that I do not have the patience to be an animator, but that I am MUCH more interested in what is possible in the world of VFX. I would feel confident about enrolling in CG Basics after taking the Maya workshop.”
-
Mentor and trainer, hands down, were the best things
“There are tons of books and internet tutorials available to learn Maya, but you can’t ask a book a question when it doesn’t make sense. It was great to have someone to reach out to and know that you would get a solid, good response. No question is too small for them and they were always happy to go over a topic, or teach you a new way to approach a problem.”
