3D Lesson 01 : 3D and Maya Recap

Tutor notes

4. DAILIES AND PRESENTATION

Get your students to present their work often to their peer group and even others and be questioned by someone in a manager/client role. Get them to justify their approach and thinking behind it. Beware of smooth talking salesmen.

3. SET LIMITATIONS

3.LIMITATIONS : A Vast array of choice can sometimes deadened for creativity. Ensuring students learn through invention based on small number of options in the face of limitation is an useful tactic, rather than emphasising what each menu heading does and the sheer number of options available.

2. SHORTCUTS AND TEMPLATES

Tutors can accelerate learning by demonstrating setting optimum shortcuts and useful templates, explaining standard processes to make things look good and outlining elements that affects pipeline.
