term 1

Starting with 3D animation basics, you’ll dive head-first into industry software Maya and discover how to create believable animation using the classic principals of animation. As you learn the theories, you’ll put them into practice, giving you a better understanding of body mechanics and locomotion.

What will you learn?

  • Animate from scratch using the 12 principles of animation
  • Set up professional workflows using Autodesk Maya
  • Create progressively more complex animation pieces
  • Work with character rigs to create animation cycles

*This short course is the same as the term one of the 3D Animation Diploma, so if you choose to continue after completing your certificate, you’ll be a third of the way through the diploma course!
