Well last Tuesday we had our first Maya workshop which I really enjoyed. I have used Maya before so I did know most of the things he was showing us but I still learnt a few extra tricks. I think the fact I had used the software before also helped me understand what he was saying a lot better and I found it to be helpful. I was also happy with the pace at which he went through the workshop and he covered a lot of key principles in quite a short period of time. I really look forward to learning more as I really enjoy using Maya and believe you can achieve some really great looking work using it. Of course now I have previously done the 2d workshops I am looking at it in a slightly different way. All the CGI animations we saw at Bradford were badly animated and modelled and I really want to push myself to create high standard animations using Maya .But since the last workshop I do feel I have a better understanding for modelling and feel that now I am able to visualize how to make a model slightly better. Well look forward to tomorrow’s session.

There are two things you said in this weeks blog that encouraged me. Firstly that you realised how many of the films we saw at Bradford were badly animated, which is true, and also how the 2d workshops have inspired you to push yourself to the limits. Animation is a craft, and hopefully these skills we are giving you at this stage of the course will steer you into using tools like maya to create something truly unique.
