Maya, the computer animation industry's leading software, has the capacity to create diverse imagery for animated films such as Ice Age and Horton Hears a Who as well as for creating characters for live action films, such as the ape in King Kong. With hands-on practice, students explore the many features offered in Maya and acquire a broad understanding of the 3D tools essential for film, television, and design projects. Through a series of short exercises focusing on Maya's core fundamentals--to modeling, lighting, texturing, animation, and rendering--acquire a working knowledge of the industry standard in 3D software.
