This course moves fast so it's geared more towards intermediate users or previous students of mine, but if you are totally new to Maya and you pause and rewatch lessons I think anyone could potentially follow along. This is definitely a course you do not want to watch at 2x speed. We are going to move quickly because I want you to achieve this result with just minutes of work, not hours or days.

In this course you'll learn how to:

• Loop texture deformers


• Use motion paths


• Use subsurface scattering effectively through lights


• Light the scene with an HDRI


• Animate a camera to loop and feel handheld


• Apply this blob effect to custom text


• Render with Arnold inside Maya


• Composite the image in After Effects


• Change colors in compositing


• Render a movie file out of After Effects

You'll need:

• Autodesk Maya (and a 3-button mouse for navigation)


• Adobe After Effects
