Learning About The Tools I'm Already Enthusiastic About!
This is my second (well, technically third) course with Think B!G, and I love it here! Learning about the tools I'm already enthusiastic about using to create content is awesome enough, but being surrounded by other people also invested in creative industries is a welcome reprieve from an otherwise monotonous worker-bee office life. It's great to know I have peers and am not alone on the island! -General Dynamics, Lucia (Autodesk Maya 2020 Introduction Live Hands-On Instructor-Led Training Class)

A Source Of Knowledge That Should Be Used By Everyone!

Learned More Than I Believed I Would After Only Day 1
"Looking at Maya, it's easy to be intimidated by the interface alone. I came in to this class and learned more than I believed I would learn after only day 1, and by the end of my training I feel very confident to model and do basic levels of animation in Maya. The instructor was very knowledgeable and shows the do's an do-not's of using the software, and most importantly, was very patient while trying to learn. Additionally, the agenda is set so if you didn't fully understand how to do something say on Day 1, you will learn how to do those steps again on future days while still moving ahead with the agenda (i.e., repetition of using the modeling tools). I highly recommend this class and I look forward to future Maya classes to further my 3D modeling and animation capabilities." --Brandon S. - DOD (Intro to Autodesk Maya Training)
