In this course, you'll learn practical tips for improving your 3D animation and rigging workflows, as well as working smarter in Maya. George Maestri teaches how to use replacement animation to mimic stop-motion techniques, how to write scripts to speed up your rigging process, and much more. Every Thursday, a new tip will be posted.
