oui mais en franais a serait encore mieux !

By Jose Luis Armesto on 1/14/2020

Very basic course and straight to the point course. It really helps you to start with rigging and animating in Maya, but it does not really go deep in any subject. The tutor is great, explaining every step and why you do it this way. Great course to start in this topic and create your first animated model.

ive taken actual animation classes in college(s) that weren't this straight forward, instantly applicable and understandable. this is a valued member of my udemy course list.
