Moving From Blender to Maya: Learn a Layered Animation Workflow

With Sir Wade by your side, you’ll:

• Explore Maya’s interface and some of its most powerful features
• Discover the differences between an animation layer system, a layered workflow, and a pose-to-pose workflow 
• Animate a complex dive roll using a layered animation workflow  
• Refine your animation using a geometry-blocking workflow  

Plus, Sir Wade created a downloadable handout filled with tips and tricks for getting started in Maya, including some of his favorite hotkeys, which you can find in the class resources. 

Whether you’ve been animating in a different software and want to explore Maya for the first time or you just started animating in 3D and want to know the benefits of animating in a layered workflow instead of pose to pose, you’ll leave this class ready to use Maya for other animation projects and with the confidence to animate with both pose to pose and a layered workflow.
