Description
Maya 2011 is an essential application for any student to start a career in 3D Modeling and Animation. This training series walks you through the basics of polygon modeling -one of the key beginning elements to start making meshes for games and CG cinematics. Maya is offered free to students of any school or university. The link is supplied on the left in this channel. I hope you as a student pick up this as a hobby or future path to working within the industry. The younger you start, the greater heads-up you will have over the competition.

Great...
Great to have this instruction in the iTunes U. There's a lot to learn with Maya and you can't have enough videos to learn from. Hopefully Michigan and Jason Welsh, continue their lessons.
Would love to see other videos on skin weights and proper rigging techniques, especially on more difficult models.
Awesome teaching
Thank you for offering these great materials to learn!
Excellent
Wish the assignments were available for download however..
