This was very insightful. The techniques in chapter 2 are very nicely explained.
Bastante interesante y didactico, me resolviĂł diversas dudas que tengo en mi trabajo como animador
Each chapter of this course has left me even more excited for the next. His lessons are concise and useful. He provides great examples that allow students to understand how to apply animation tools and techniques to multiple scenarios.
I am not a complete beginner, so some section of this course the teacher seems to go through a bit to fast for a beginner.However, this is still very informative, learn something new that did not cover from other courses that I took. It focuses more on what you really need & I highly recommend to take it
great stuff learning new things for Maya animation!
Very informative and easy to follow. A really good introduction to the basics of 3d animation using Maya. Knowledge of the basic operations in Maya (which I did not have) beforehand isn't necessary, but definitely recommended.
Maya 2012?!!! A little outdated! Some tools are in another place and are a little hard to find.
Very clear and usefull, nothing is forgotten !
