Maya for Absolute beginners, more like Maya for Elementary kids. I'm a beginner to Maya but not to 3D. This teacher is sloppy and uses the excuse that it would be too complicated to teach the correct methods. He makes mistakes and says "oh thats probably fine" or "that looks really cool" as if I'm an idiot who doesn't know any better. He is also unnecessarily fast, sometimes using tools or shortcuts he's never even brought up before.

lots of complicated issues that lecturer doesn't comment on just because it didn't happen to him, q&a support was slow to respond, however now barely if ever responds. I had to skip the whole keyblade module because of a missing footage and no help from TAs

Dieser Kurs ist ein toller Einstieg in Autodesk Maya. Ich hatte bereits 3 Monate Erfahrung mit Maya, allerdings nur für Animation. Durch diesen Kurs habe ich mein Wissen in Maya vertiefen können. Alle großen Bereiche einmal kennenlernen können und gerade in Modelling gute Skills aufbauen können. Man kann dem Kurs gut folgen und ich kann ihn nur für Einsteiger wärmstens empfehlen!

I like it because the college I attend does its classes by every month. the amount of info they teach in just 30 days is hard to retain and they also aren't teaching everything. A small example I didn't know about is the group renames tab. There is more but in short, I am learning a lot more than I am learning in my expensive college!

Does not explain in enough detail many steps and functions. He assumes you already understand many of the commands or very briefly goes over them. As a complete beginner I found this as much too fast. I know there is a learning curve but I simply found that he jumps through topics too quickly.

This course is fantastic! I have taken many courses on how to use Maya, but this guy makes it extremely fun and interesting, as well as giving you brilliant tips on each stage throughout. I have only just finished the modelling a sword section atm, but am already excited to carry on and learn everything else he has to offer. I also have other courses from this guy, which I haven't even got around to yet, but now I know his teaching methods, I am very eager to start those too. Totally recommend for anybody wishing to learn Maya - even any professionals, as you're bound to pick up some great tips and tricks that you might not know(?).

I am very happy with the instructions. He gives a lot of practical information you can use right away, and he also covers the software enough to encourage experimentation.

I think this course is perfect for beginner like me, I was so grateful about this course exist and ofc the instructor. One thing that I was sad about was he keep forgetting about starting to open the key thing lol. So sometimes I should have guessed what he pressed, but otherwise, good course!
