What is this?

I am studying animation in Turku Arts Academy, Finland. I've been at it for 3 years and now I'm starting my 3d path with Maya. Autodesk was kind enough to provide students 3 year license for Maya and Mudbox, and I'm going to put them to use.

We didn't have a teacher who could teach Maya at our school. So I've made myself a study plan where I'm going to learn Maya through tutorials and testing without an educated teacher.

I am a father of two little girls and they keep me busy and happy at home. School provides me with 8 hours working time every day and a table, so I should make some progress.

This blog is about gathering information, showing progress, self-evaluation and ultimately a collection to get points from the school.


Progress is somewhat planned, my final goal is to have an entry for the 11 second club, and get some feedback from there. On the way, I'll hopefully learn the skills needed.
