Maya for Animators
Master the full production pipeline in the animation industry's most common tool!
This course started as a professional training series at DreamWorks Animation, and has evolved into this comprehensive animation training course.
Ariana Alexander
"I have to say that this is the best workshop I've ever taken for animation. You will be grateful for the recordings because the amount of info covered is staggering. If you are new to Maya/animation, or if you're a 7 year veteran like I am, you will have plenty to learn either way."
Elizabeth Kruger
"Sir Wade does NOT disappoint. If you enjoy his videos, you will love this workshop. I would highly recommend the Maya Workshop for both the beginner and the more advanced Maya user. You will take away so many great nuggets of useful information. You will be surprised by how much more there is to know about Maya and what the program and you are capable of creating. Sir Wade is thorough and in depth and his gracious nature and attitude are even better in person."
Charlotte Taylor
"Animation courses tend not to teach you Maya in depth so this workshop was a godsend, it was absolutely packed with tricks and tips and demos. You might argue there's already a lot of tutorials floating around, but you gotta know what you are looking for, and this workshop gave me SO many answers to questions I didn't even know I had! When day 1 starts and already you're learning things on Maya settings, you know you're in for a treat... Sir Wade is also a brilliant teacher and communicates things really clearly. It's the workshop we all need!"
Micah Chambers
"Sir Wade's workshop covered from the base to the brim of Maya. He delves into how all the tools function, and gives plenty of examples to engage the viewer. In just a week, Maya has become the most comfortable 3D program I've used and I'm now able build and animate shorts from the ground up. If you plan on learning Maya, this is a must-have for the edu-collection."
Carlos Vazquez
"This workshop taught me more about Maya animation than the 3 years of university that I already wasted before this class. Forget school, if you take everything Sir Wade says to heart in this workshop, you'll be better off than most of us in school!"
Luke Shaw
"I can't overstate the value of Sir Wade's technical background in animation and unique insights into optimizing your workflow in Maya. No matter your level of experience, there is always more to learn in this field and I highly recommend taking the opportunity to learn from Sir Wade."
Maya for Animators
Maya is the primary tool that all character animators learn. I'll show you how to use all of Maya's different creative toolsets to elevate your demo reel shots from modeling to FX and lighting.
Unreal Engine for Animators
UE5 is a game engine capable of rendering incredible visuals in real-time. Version 5.4 brings character animation and Control Rig to a point where you can animate directly in the Sequencer. Start building real-time shots!
Blender for Animators
Blender is a powerful and free 3D software that's easy to learn and even easier to make impressive visuals in. I'll show you how to get started animating using 3D characters, 2D grease pencil, and geometry nodes.
Ryan Stokes
"This was an amazing workshop, I learned more in this one week workshop than I have in my entire time at university."
Jacob Corder
"Sir Wade is phenomenal. Beginner or advanced, if you want to level up your knowledge of Maya and animation, this class is for you!"
Cam Doidge
"The course not only made animation in Maya more approachable but also gave me a bunch of other tools that I can utilize to make my ideas real. Loved it!"
Christopher Garcia
"A fun and workflow-changing experience that all must attend."
Sarabi Buesing
"I had a blast and enjoyed every second of it. This was worth every penny on the first day alone."
Dimath Kojitha
"This workshop will take your fear out of Maya."
Sarthak Khurana
"I learned more in a week than I did in 4 years. Examples on different topics, insights on how it applies in real life problems when working with a rig or for a studio, etc."
Amanda Burley
"I had been feeling stuck in a bit of an animation rut and just not feeling motivated to really do anything with it, but this helped energize me and give me some new ideas that make me want to get back into it regularly again."
Jeromy Ball
"I left the workshop with a greater understanding of both Maya the software and animation as a whole. Anyone seeking to increase their skills should definitely sign up the next time he offers this workshop."
Kadeem Heron
"I took this workshop as a refresher for the things I learned in college, but ended up learning more in a week than I did in 4 years."
Agustin Gonzales
"Sir Wade is an animation guru and a great instructor! I learned so much in such a short amount of time and I would definitely recommend for anyone new or looking to jump back into animation!"
Anonymous Student
"This workshop was a very valuable resource as someone who just graduated from college for animation. I learned settings and techniques in Maya that my school never taught me. I whole-heartedly recommend taking a workshop with Sir Wade."
