Creating & Animating a Minecraft Character in Maya

You will learn how to create and animate Elsa from Frozen 2 as a Minecraft character. I will be going over the basics of the software, character design, and accessory details, as well as several animation techniques, lighting, rendering, and editing. This course is for beginners, teenagers, and adults who want to learn the basics of creating Minecraft animations in Maya. At the end of this course, you will have the knowledge to create any Minecraft character in Maya.

I am a Junior at SCAD (Savannah College of Art and Design) studying 3D modeling, animation, and visual effects. I have published over 750 videos and have over 110,000 subscribers on YouTube (killshot2596). My channel earns between $800-2K a month via YouTube revenue. One of my Minecraft videos was featured at the Museum of Pop Culture (Minecraft: The Exhibit) in Seattle. My expertise is in Minecraft Animations, technical product animations, and product reviews. I worked on a game that was recognized for Best in Show at Seattle VR Hackathon 2017. My journey started with creating Lego stop motion videos when I was 10. A few years later, I taught myself how to use Maya, the industry-standard software for the film, and the VFX industry by watching YouTube videos.

I will teach you how to create, animate, and edit a Minecraft Animation. I will also show you how to upload these videos and monetize them. Check out my YouTube channel (killshot2596) for examples of my work. I will teach you how to do the same thing.
