  1. Jamiu –

    This Maya course is a solid starting point for aspiring 3D animators. The instructor clearly explains the interface and fundamental tools. While more advanced techniques are absent, it provides a valuable foundation for learning the software and building basic animation skills. Well-structured and easy to follow.

  2. Halimat –

    Okay, so Maya always seemed intimidating. But after taking this intro course, it’s actually fun! The instructor broke down complex tools in a way that finally clicked. I even modeled a little robot that I’m oddly proud of. Totally worth it for demystifying the Maya beast.

  3. Oluwasegun –

    Okay, so ‘Intro to Maya’ really clicked for me. I was intimidated by the software, but the instructor broke down complex tools into manageable steps. Now I’m actually modeling *things* – not just staring blankly at the screen. Seeing my creations come to life is super rewarding.
