What you will learn ?

This course providing the chance to apply Maya capabilities in architectural form design. A new approach of teaching the tool can redefine the use of graphic design tools in general. You will learn different formulation approaches according to practical innovative architects in parallel with different design principles for space, structure, function... etc. In this version of the training course, we will focus on Maya modeling techniques and students will get to learn the Maya basics of rendering, mapping, animation, scripting and advanced modeling techniques. Furthermore, course presentations will cover required topics that support the philosophical background and the fluidity of the training part.
