Computer Animation With Maya

Autodesk Maya is an animation and effects software program used in the broadcast, film and game development industries. This course begins with a practical overview of Maya, from learning the interface to building a foundation of basic techniques in modeling and animation.

Storyboards and concept art will be used to translate and transform 2D to 3D, and students will gain a better understanding of the 3D process. Weekly assignments in modeling and animation will be given. Supplies will be covered on the first day of class, and include sketchbook, pencils, erasers, headphones, and an external hard drive.
