Welcome to DT-116-1: Introduction 3d Modeling, Texturing, and Animation using Maya.
My name is Greg Lemon, and I will be your instructor for this class. Please feel free to email me with any questions you have related to the course.

This class is an intensive, hands on study of Maya, an extremely powerful 3d visualization tool. The goal of this class is simple: leave on the last day of class with the ability and confidence necessary to create your own 3d projects of whatever complexity you choose.
The class is very much about what you make of it. If you put in little effort, you can expect little in return. If you put in a lot, you will find the creative uses for Maya to be virtually unlimited, and you will be inspired by your rapidly increasing abilities. If you truly dive in, and allow Maya to teach you, you will develop a proficiency with it that will amaze you, and you will open your artistic career to a wider variety of opportunities.
We will be exploring a largely unfamiliar world, filled with unfamiliar terms, relationships and procedures. Please take notes, make sketches, make recordings, or whatever it takes to help you remember what we go over in class.
Below are a series if link to various resources, including the syllabus and first assignment, project one, which is due Wednesday, September 14th.
