3D Modeling school training courses in Boston, MA (public, in-house or online)

This course is an introduction to Maya 2011. Maya is an industry standard 3-dimensional (3-D) software used to create animated films, video games, medical visualizations, and special effects for films. The objective of the course is to familiarize students with the fundamentals of a 3-D working environment using Maya 2011. The course develops skills in four elementary 3-D software topics: interface, objects, hierarchy, and animation. These four topics translate into most 3-D software packages an...
