Hey folks!
My name is Bradley Wascher, I am a 3D environment artist working in the video game industry. I've worked for some of the biggest names in the video games industry, from Liquid development, to High Moon Studios, which is owned and ran by Activision.I have several years of on the job experience creating 3D art for video games. I haveeven worked for a design company creating 3D products all the way down to 2D web graphics and print ads.
I've had the great pleasure in my many jobs to have learned a lot and met a lot of great people that had their own techniques and insight. I wanted to give back to the world of 3D by releasing classes and tutorials that would help others either get a grasp ofhow video games are actually built or help artists that are already working to advance their skills.

If you ever have any questions just let me know. -BW

By Shuchita Wadhera on 7/24/2020

its very impressive.

By Casey Rogers on 7/16/2020

Awesome course! Was perfect and exactly what I was looking for in regards to learning basics of Maya. Instructor not just how to do things but also why some of the things worked like they do as well as tips on creation and work efficiency.

By Nasser AlSaihati on 6/13/2020

really great course for modeling easy to follow it cover also the technical stuff . the workshop section 6/7 is a great start for beginner to build some experience in modeling . too bad there is no render workshop just to show the work
also one downside the Videos are in 720p i really want to be more it did not feel HD to me but at the end i really learn a lot from "Bradley Wascher" for sure going to take his other courses :)

Good for beginners. Basic for the fundamentals of moving trough interface and the use of the tools for modeling, and optimize resources trough commands for best time.

By Miles Handford on 2/21/2020

This is an awesome course! Really easy to follow instructions and relatable tutor, thanks for taking time to teach others!

Very clear and detailed explanations.

By Lubomir Ingeli on 11/6/2019

easy to understand, very well done course.

By Marcio Tatagiba on 10/19/2019

An introductory course to modeling in Maya. I can't imagine another rating other than 5 stars.
Some points to enhance would be the inclusion of UV mapping, basic shading or, if you wanna stick to just modeling, expert ways to customize the interface, shortcuts and menus. But these are just suggestions.
And I know this is an introductory course, but the later projects could use a wider variety of techniques and tool. Anyways, as it is the course is really useful! You did an amazing job! Thank you so much, Bradley!

By Merja Jonassen on 6/18/2019

A very well explained and well rounded course. Only needed some advice on a very few parts but they all got coverd well.

By Sylvain Cournoyer on 6/12/2019

By C F on 6/3/2019

Fantastic! Exactly what I was looking for about the correct ways to do things and some of the gotchas that can happen and how to rectify them. Great course!
