Experience Credible Maya Tutorials For Aspiring Freelance Animators

By Julio Ambrosino

In a time when finding a job is hard because of the global financial crisis, it is up to us to learn new skills that will enable us to find work even on a temporary basis. I need to look for other income resources such as freelancing jobs in order for me to cope with my debts. Trying to make my ends met, it is sad to say that even accepting writing projects cannot help me out. In order to boost my income, I intend to accept graphic design projects, which may require me to learn and use software such as Maya and Photoshop.

Since I do not have money to spare to pay for certificate courses in Maya and Photoshop, I need to rely on books and articles on the Internet that will help me understand how to use such applications. The books and articles do not provide any visual aids on how to use the softwares despite reading them over and over. I have finally admitted that the exact methods and procedures on how to use the tabs and functions of the programs can only be shown to me via video tutorials. Fortunately, I have come across with CGTube.net, which is one of the popular social networking sites. I found out that CGTube.net's video tutorials were used by my cousin's friend to learn more on Photoshop and other similar softwares.

At first, CGTube. net can be daunting. It is a good thing that the site has a forum where you can easily ask people about topics that are related to animation and other computer programs that are aimed at graphics and design. I definitely found the MAYA tutorials. I saw different video samples created by different people. The things I have seen indeed inspired me so much. I know that I can create simple graphics and animation with the help of CGTube.net even if I lack formal training.

The MAYA tutorials provided in the site supplied me all the help I need. Actually I have already been hired by some of my friends and new acquaintances for graphic and animation projects needed for their websites and online marketing campaigns. My new skills in animation and graphics software have boosted my monthly income now.
