I’m Shane and I have been using Maya professionally for 15 years and have been teaching beginners how to use Maya for over 10 years. I am a qualified teacher and have used my years of experience to create a project based class with a deliberate and methodical learning curve designed to go from holding your hand at the beginning through to setting you complex, independent challenges as the class progresses.
