Course Content:
Technical Directors (TDs) fill an important role in CG production as they are responsible for delivering practical solutions to the problems that arise during production. We will be looking at using python in maya which are widely embraced by TDs throughout the industry. Indeed for any CG artist, learning how to script is among the most valuable skills you can pick up to help you in your day to day job, and in your career. The course will also examine some helpful maths that is common in computer graphics. You will see how even a basic understanding can make many unfamiliar terms you may have already come across just click!
Participant Profile:
Participants should have a reasonable knowledge of Maya, but there is no requirement of previous programming or maths experience.
