What Maya Workshop Students are Saying
No Prior Maya Experience
As someone with no prior experience with Maya or animation, the workshop was very very insightful in learning how to animate using the software! My mentor was very informative and gave great feedback on what to focus on in my assignments and was helpful in preparing for the Character Animation Courses.
Set Up for Success
Honestly my mentor was my favorite part. He took the time to really get us submerged into the animation culture and set us up for success. Our classes were also so informative and full of great tips and information.
Never Felt Lost, Pace Was Perfect
Coming from absolutely NO experience with 3D programs or animation, I felt that I was able to follow along easily, and the pace of the workshop was perfect. It never pushed too far or felt like I was lost. Also, getting to talk with and critiqued by a real pro animator was the most helpful!
Good Overview of 3D
The workshop itself gave me (someone who had no experience with 3D anything) a very good overview and our mentor made my experience incredibly memorable because you could tell they loved their job, and wanted us to succeed.
Inspiration to Keep Going
The lessons were in depth and the questions were always answered in a very understanding way. I thought it was very helpful and a great inspiration to keep going.
Exceeded Expectations
This workshop exceeded my expectations. My mentor was amazing and I would’ve loved to keep learning from them. I made some cool friends and learned a lot more that I thought I would, not only about Maya but the animation industry.
Figure Out If Animation is For Me
This was exactly what I hoped for. I signed up to become confident in Maya and also to figure out if animation was for me, and the workshop helped me achieve both of these things.
