Taking this course is like sifting through mountains of sand in search of tiny gold nuggets. I wouldn't have understood anything if I hadn’t completed two other courses before this one. The lecturer barely explains anything—he just creates a few animations himself, switching between modes and keys so quickly that it's nearly impossible to keep up.

By Muhmmad Yahya on 4/23/2024

Its a great project for anyone starting animation in Maya. Instructor Nurdin has thought almost every essential aspect of animation in detail. Rest is depended on learners how much improvement they are bring in their understanding

I like how the teacher carefully goes through every feature of 3d modelling in Maya. I am totally new to Maya and I am getting along with Maya very well just by following the lectures and taking notes carefully. This is a very solid course, highly recommended!!!!!

Very enjoyable course and easy to follow. Instructor speaks well and the course workflow is well thought out. Good level of coverage and explanation of the fundamentals, and interesting projects to practice. Sound and video quality are very good. Thank you Nurdin!

By Pedri on 3/4/2024

Very detailed. Tip to students: When you watch first time, some chapters look overwhelming. But if you watch it twice, you will learn, enjoy and be motivated. Good luck to students and thank you, Nurdin!

This course has improved my motion animation skills, it has taught me new skills and strategies and how to create smooth prototypes and interactions. It has been good for me considering I can do it on my own time and pace, and rewind certain parts to better understand.

By Ello marco on 2/28/2024

This course was fantastic! Also a expert freelancer here and because of this course, I now have another talent to add to my skill set. A nice alternative to Maya to dabble in animation! Thank you!

By Celine J on 2/28/2024

It was exactly what I was looking for. I love watching him draw while he explains his thought process.. Animation is as much thinking and feeling as it is observation and drawing. I'm inspired to experiment and bring those drawings to life. So much fun!
