3D Text Animation in Autodesk Maya

Welcome to one of the most fundamental tools for a motion graphics artist: animating type. No experience is needed to take this course and by the end ofityou will be able to create, manipulate, and animate renderedtype. We start with the basics of creating text in Autodesk Maya and use the built-in animation tools fortypethat is great for beginners. If you’re a more advanced user or a beginner that feels comfortable after the initial animation lesson, we dive deeperin tothe most advanced method of animating type in Maya with a relatively new toolset called MASH, which is Maya’s motion graphics toolset. The only trouble is there’s one big obstacle you have to overcome to use MASH with type and I will show you how to overcome it.I also give you a Python script I wrote that I show you how to run it in Maya with the push of a button to overcome this otherwise frustrating obstacle to using MASH with type. We will finish the course by lighting and rendering our images out of Maya and do the final color correction and compiling into a movie file in Adobe After Effects.I’m really excited to share these techniques with, see you in the course!
