What will you learn in these courses?
If you are passionate and want to get started in 3D modeling objects and characters, it is essential to master Autodesk Maya, the software 3D more widespread in the industry. In this 6-course Domestika Basics, you will learn from the hand of 3D modeler Miguel Miranda, to use all the tools that Maya offers from scratch, seeing techniques for modeling characters, creating materials and lights and rendering the scene.
First, you will become familiar with the work environment. You will start moving through the software learning where the menus and tools are organized. You will create your first camera and first 3D object, to start experimenting with it. You will learn to use the timeline.
In the second course, you will delve into all the tools necessary to model. You will be introduced to two essential menus, Mesh and Edit Mesh . Then, you will perform your first modeling, as well as an asset for a character.
Next, you will organize a scene and learn how to clean geometry in Maya. You will see and understand the ways of smoothing in 3D, and you will know the basic concepts about topology. Then, you will learn to use the brushes to sculpt your first character, in a simple way.
Then you will focus on working the parts and traits of the character, leaving it finished for its production. You will see the basics of topology for 3D animation, learning the basic tools, the importance of axes and directions.
You will start the fifth course by seeing which is the correct pipeline to finish a character in production. You will see what the UVs are, how to deploy them and place them correctly, so that you can finally do the UVs or the mapping of your character.
In the last course, you will create the lights of a scene and a set of render in Arnold to render your 3D objects and characters, and present them once modeled. You will discover the different textures and how to apply them. Finally, you'll see how to do blendShapes to finalize your character's face.

Increíble curso. Vale la pena para aprender a cómo usar el Maya, y a cómo mejorar en él. Pero el punto es pura práctica constante.

Me gusta el curso, lo acabo de empezar y se ve bastante bueno! :)

Súper recomendado!!! Ya lo acabé y puedo decir que Miguel además de ser un gran artista es muy ameno y claro en sus explicaciones. Hay partes que son time lapse pero si existen dudas Miguel siempre está pendiente en los foros. El curso va bien ordenado y aunque es un basics también aborda conceptos más avanzados e importantes para modelado y animación. :D !!!

ProRecomendable desde nivel generalista para uso de Maya para los trabajos más demandados de: modelado, texturación, iluminación, animación y render. Bien explicado por Miguel y con ejemplos prácticos con los que poder aprender y entender un criterio profesional en cada apartado.

En mi opinión quienes han comentado acerca del curso (si son principiantes) aún no han llegado al curso 2 en el video donde se trabaja la espada. A partir de ese momento el trabajo del profesor es demasiado rápido e imposible de seguir, hace muchas cosas y si se es principiante no se puede entender (ni siquiera tiene audio explicado). Ya revise más adelante cuando se trabaja el personaje y es lo mismo. Es importante valorar eso antes de decidir comprarlo. Por lo demás es buen curso.

ProMe encantan todos los cursos de Doméstika por la calidad de los contenidos y los grandes artistas, animadores y diseñadores que los imparten. Sin embargo algo que tienen casi todos los cursos también son problemas de audio durante las explicaciones. En cuanto al curso en específico, la verdad es que me ha aclarado dudas, el primer tema del curso es un poco tedioso pero vale la pena conocer la interfaz guiados por los expertos que ofrecen atajos y tips. ¡Recomendado 100%!

Recomendado al 100%, muy bien explicado!

Excelente curso, está muy completo, Miguel Miranda es buen maestro y profesional tanto para explicar como para el modelado, lo super recomiendo para los que quieran adentrarse en el mundo de la animación 3D.
Lo que más me gusta es que no solo es teoría, te dejan actividades para poder poner en práctica lo que aprendes.
Super Curso y lo mas extraordinario insisto es el Precio.

hace un par de años que no usaba el programa, lo compre para poder re-aprender a utilizarlo, por que aveces asi, ay que comenzar de cero, me parece muy fluido y facil de seguir hasta ahora
