DurationMaya 3D NURBS is for industrial designers who have specific needs with respect to product design.
This Maya training introduction to 3D modeling utilizing Maya is for conceptual modeling using various polygon, sub’D, and NURBS techniques to import into engineering tools such as SolidWorks or Pro/Engineer Wildfire.
Learn the basics of modeling and shading from a product designer’s perspective.
Not Covered: This class has been designed for product designers looking to learn Maya modeling at a high level in a short time. We do not discuss in this workshop how to animate objects or how to keyframe for animation.
Nor the use of dynamics and to create fog, clouds with lighting, fire and fireworks and many other awesome special effects. Nor the use of Maya’s MEL programming language to build simple functions and custom user interface controls.
This class does not go into great depth in the discussion of the hypershade and texturing unless there is consensus within the class.

Design Engine’s mission through our vaulted training is to enhance communication between training participants, designers, and engineers, enabling them to effectively communicate 3D CAD designs.
By fostering collaborative relationships, encouraging problem-solving, and promoting innovation, we empower teams to work smarter and not harder.
Unlike other training programs, we don’t just teach software menu clicks, or read to you from a book. Instead, our expert instructors challenge you to think creatively and through examples help your teams develop a workflow that allows for quick and effective changes to be made to models with confidence.
As both product designers and engineers, we are well-equipped to take your product ideas from ideation through engineering, prototyping, production, and ultimately thru to retail.
Design engine maintains strong relationships with US and overseas manufacturers and US retail buyers. Like a smart puzzle Design engine is prepared to assist product organizations in one or all product development phases.
Design Engine has been a world leader in delivering high-impact training courses for 3D CAD professionals, industrial designers, mechanical engineers, drafters, mechanics, and game designers.
As pioneers of robust modeling, top-down design, and other exciting training techniques, our team has successfully trained thousands of engineers and designers from companies including Bissell, Caterpillar, Ingersoll Rand, GE Medical, US Army, US Air Force, Newell Brands, Stanley Black & Decker, Harley-Davidson.
Here at Design Engine, we are incredibly passionate about learning. We believe that good design should transcend the software, so we focus on fundamental design & 3D modeling skills.
We help designers and engineers adopt a robust, resilient modeling workflow and challenge teams to approach problems with new perspectives that facilitate learning. Read testimonials from those who have trained in the past.
Maya is one the most widely used 3-d animation programs in the world. In the Maya course you will learn modeling with nurbs and polygons, create shaders and textures, character setup rigging and animation, 3-d lighting and rendering concepts and much more.
In this Advanced Maya Training Class we will review the basics covered in Intro to Maya and dive further into hard surface modeling, technical modeling, organic modeling, and set modeling.
You will learn the uses of Maya’s powerful tools for the visual entertainment industry, whether for cartoons, movies, commercials, or video games.
Students are introduced to the Maya interface and philosophy, as well as 3D modeling, texturing, lighting, rendering, and animation. Lectures cover the application of these tools in the VFX, game, and animation industries. Students will work on multiple projects throughout the course.
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.
