+Intro to Maya: Maya Training Course

Course Duration: 40 hours

Tuition: $1800 US

Overview: Introduction to 3d modeling and animation utilizing MAYA. Learn basics of modeling, lighting, and efficient rendering.

Prerequisite: Previous Maya Training not nessessary for this Maya Course.

Topics:

• Learn about the basic and core concepts of Maya
• Master the Maya interface and create efficient workflows
• Learn hands on with Maya by modeling polygon and NURB & subdivided objects
• Understand the difference and advantages of nurbs, polygons, and sub'ds
• Discover how to bring your creations to life with texturing and lighting
• Get comfortable with the basics of animation and the Graph Editor
• Unleash the power of Maya's unique paint effects to create organic objects
  such as flowers, trees, and plants
• Try out different rendering techniques and learn about Mental Ray and Vector Rendering
• Model a character using CV pulling, lattices and skeleton joints
• Animating using various Set Key techniques
• Utilizing the Graph Editor and the Dope Sheet.
• Build shading groups using various types of texture maps.
• Create particle effects using hardware rendering
• Process of modeling, animating and rendering a complete scene from start to finish.
• Work with hierarchy of joints and deformers applied to a character-based model
• Character facial deformation and lip synching
creating, controlling, tailoring 3D character garments.
• Understanding Maya's MEL programming language to build simple functions and custom user interface controls.

Discussion:

• Discuss import export options and how those options might affect render times.
• Discuss NURBS vs. Polygon modeling techniques and converting between those various options.
• Discuss real world modeling or render techniques and offer solutions to various past problems (per instructor)
