Dear 1st years, As promised I have provided the list of Maya tutorials to date: If you notice that I have missed any that you have posted then feel free to send me an e-mail with a link to the appropriate post and I will update accordingly. I am aware that the majority have completed more that what is shown here, you probably just need to upload the images/ videos. Thanks and good luck on the final push, Simon

As part of the CAA experience the completion of tutorials is essential, this ensures that you have the knowledge required to tackle the various projects throughout the course. Below is a spreadsheet that shows the levels of tutorial completion throughout the year.... yes red is bad... Very bad. It is imperative that the spreadsheet has turned green by the end of study/reading week if you are going to progress successfully towards completing this project.

With the year nearly over I thought I would post up a reminder regarding the Maya tutorials that need to be completed. All the videos in the sections below should have evidence of their completion submitted to your blogs. The posts should all have a label of "MayaTutorials" or something similar. Intro to Maya 2016 Modelling 1:Digital Sets Lighting & Rendering 1 Texturing & Shading 1 Animation 1 Intro to Pre-Viz Rigging & Skinning Modelling 2: HS & Organic I will start reviewing them on Tuesday so that gives you a long weekend to catch up on the few that you may have missed. Don't forget to double check, tick them off and label them as I would hate to miss some. Spread the word. Best of luck for tomorrow, Simon
