Why Maya?

As well as being a great introduction to visual effects and animation, Maya is used to build games, TV intro sequences (eg Game of Thrones), in architecture, and adverts.

Introduction

Maya tutorials

To get you started, have a go at these. Don't worry if it feels a bit daunting at the start, make sure you do them alongside someone else, helping each other as you go, and speaking to the teacher if you need.

Also, have your screen set up with the tutorial on one side, and Maya on the side of the screen, or you'll miss stages and it won't work.
