Our Verdict
This course offers in-depth insights into Maya's pipeline, making it a valuable resource for pre-intermediate learners. While the spiral curriculum approach may be intimidating for absolute beginners, the detailed explanations and encouragement of independent learning can help 3D artists build essential problem-solving skills. However, limited support in Q&A sections and inconsistencies with newer versions of Maya might cause some confusion for learners. While there is room for improvement, this course remains a solid starting point for those looking to explore Autodesk Maya's features in depth.
