From the course: Maya 2018 Essential Training
Welcome
- Hi, I'm George Maestri, and welcome to the course. Autodesk Maya is a really great 3D modeling, rendering, and animation application that's used in film, games, and visualization. In this course, we're going to give you a complete overview of Maya. We'll start off with the Maya interface. And then show you how to select and manipulate objects in Maya. Then we'll create our own objects by doing polygonal modeling, and then nerve space modeling. After that, we're going to add color and texture to our models, and then render them. This course will cover the Maya software renderer as well as the new Arnold renderer. And finally, we'll show you how to use some basic animation in Maya. So let's go ahead and get started with the course.
