In this lesson, set the scene for an animated short in Maya! Plus, find out how to adjust playback settings, and learn the basics of keyframe animation.

Learn how to use Graph Editor to edit keyframes and manipulate animation curves. This allows you to make subtle and dramatic changes to animations.

It's time to kick it into high gear! In the third lesson in this course, learn how to create a skeleton rig for the spaceship using Maya 3D animation software.

You've built the spaceship skeleton, but not so fast! You still have to bind the spaceship to the skeleton. Learn how to bind to a skeleton in Maya.

In this lesson, find out how to create your own custom attributes using Maya 3D animation software, and learn how to apply attributes to object movement.

Things are heating up! In this lesson, work toward finalizing skeleton controls, which allow you to get this spaceship off the ground with animation.

Get this spaceship off the ground, and then prepare for a smooth landing! Complete the ship and create a landing pad skeleton in this animation lesson.

Follow along with this intermediate animation lesson to create the animation controls for the landing pad's mechanical arms, and begin the animation process!

What's the difference between good and great animation? Dynamic motion. Learn how to create realistic 3D animation in this intermediate Maya lesson.

Launch that spaceship in this animation lesson, which explains how to create motion paths in Maya, as well as how to attach an object to the path.
