3D artists with professional skills have never been more in demand for film, broadcast, medical visualization, product design, architectural design and presentations. Autodesk Maya is the industry standard for 3D modeling and animation production. This course will cover a broad range of modeling and animation techniques as well as industry standard workflows for texturing and rendering. Students will be challenged to develop skills in polygonal modeling that include proper topology and industry appropriate levels of detail. We will also explore timing and performance for mechanical as well as character animation utilizing Maya's powerful graph editor. Each student will assemble a professional quality, final demonstration reel of their coursework.
NOTE: In addition to the general technical requirements for online courses, students must have Autodesk Maya 2025 installed on their computer. This course is fully online and offered through synchronous sessions during the listed course hours.
