Course Listing

Description: This advanced course gives the Maya artist the tools and techniques necessary to create realistic, complicated animations using the extensive animation capabilities available in Maya to their fullest. Camera animation and techniques, special effects and physics will be demonstrated to bring the participant's animations to a higher level of realism and expression. Students taking this course will expand their abilities to render complex movement more quickly and reliably using the Maya animation toolset.

Topics: Controller use and types (such as limit controllers, motion capture, audio controllers, and Motion paths), keys, timeline operations, Dope Sheet, constraints, and procedural tools.

You will learn:
• Keyframing techniques
• Using controllers
• Procedural animation
• Working with motion capture
• Mastering constraints and path animation.
• Integrating multiple animation methods

Duration: 3 days

Level: Intermediate/Advanced

Prerequisite: Maya Modeling & Materials or equivalent knowledge required.
