Rigging and Animation in Maya
An online course on how to bring almost any 3D character to life, whether it is a human or an animal!

What is this course about?
Maya is the industry standard for animation and rigging. If you want to animate characters like 3D animators from Disney, you are in the right place. In this course, you will learn how to create a rig that can be
quickly and easily animated manually or automatically.

Whatever character you have, whether it is a human or an animal.
We will start simple, with questions: Do you need a rig at all?
What cases do require it? After that, we will gradually proceed
from using mGear systems to creating our own setups.

This course is for those who have very recently discovered Autodesk Maya. You should be prepared that rigging requires a high level of concentration as well as some experience in working with 3D. At times it won’t be that easy, but rigging is the only way to bring your character to life.

About the Author
Hi, I’m Victor Abramovskiy!

Inspired by Pixar cartoons, I became pretty interested in animation programs and 3D Max caught my eye (it was popular at that time). And then, a friend of mine showed me, Autodesk Maya. Since that time, this icon is always on my desktop.

Currently, I’m a 3D Generalist. As a freelancer, I also cooperate with different studios and freelancers all around the world.
Why character animation and rigging? Everything is quite simple, a model comes to life only in motion, and you can’t achieve that without rigging. Besides, rigging has plenty
of room for technical creativity. At the interface of visual
and technical creativity, the idea of the course was born.

• Bring almost any 3D character to life 
• The best way to create your own cool 3D animation portfolio 
• Fast skillset upgrade for beginners and experienced 3D artists 
• New and fresh approaches to already known software
