1) Introduction to 3D Basics (Maya)
Kickstarting the course with foundational 3D concepts. Participants will explore the basic interface of 3D modeling software (e.g., Maya or Blender), understand the 3D workspace, and get familiar with key terms like vertices, edges, faces, meshes, and topology.
Only registered users will be able to join this meeting link.
2) Project Setup and Managing Dependencies
Learn how to structure a 3D project for efficiency. This includes understanding file hierarchies, referencing, version control, and setting up dependencies such as textures, models, and external assets to ensure seamless workflows.
