Very good course, sometimes a little bit fast and u need to go back to check what is he doing. but overall very good, could learn a lot of things.

By Damon Banks on 10/5/2020

Really filled in many of the gaps I had. Thank you!

By Faidi montassar on 9/26/2020

niceeee !

By Travis Ashcraft on 9/21/2020

I think the course is very good, however, I have been using the opensource application Blender 3D for the last year and I have to say that this course is not very friendly for people like myself who are not used to industry level applications such as Maya. I really like the instructor, he is very descriptive but I would warn off students who are of the beginner category as they will certainly struggle.

Se fue un poco rpido pero entendimos lo necesario

I did this course after taking an introductory Maya course at my university. This class covered everything and more than I had learned from university. I recommend it to all my peers.

I realy think this professor made Maya by himself, he deserves like 100 stars

By Nastia Garachtchenko on 8/25/2020

I went through a few Maya courses in college, but always felt like I was missing out on some of the advanced toolsets. This course is a very good thorough overview of Maya functionalities.

By Ravi Anand on 8/19/2020

I like the lesson and the speed he taught is good and full info he's giving is good , no unwanted talks which makes the video too large is good .

By Fernando de Farias Krautler on 8/17/2020

Very nice course!
As someone with a little experience in Maya, I have to say I was surprised by how much I learned. I thought I was simply going to get more practice and a few tips here and there, but the course totally improved my overall modeling and texturing skills.
Before starting, I somewhat hated Maya for its undynamic workflow and lack of intuitivity. I decided to take the course anyway because it's a VFX industry standard. Much to my surprise, I now kind of like Maya and can work relatively stress-free.
Thank you, Bhaumik, for that amazing experience!

By Eric Horner on 8/14/2020

well, I am learning Maya and that's a good thing, the only issue I do have is that I have Maya 2020, it does not support the Renderer that is mentioned in this class, but either way it will help me use the tools, I am familiar with Autodesk civil 3D and other software so I am not lost.
