 Hi guys, welcome to my Maya 2016 animation tutorial for beginners. In this tutorial, you'll learn the basics of animation in Maya, which includes setting it up properly, using keyframe animation, keyframing attributes such as lights, adding and animating cameras, and also playblasting and rendering. This tutorial follows on directly from my introduction to modelling in Maya 2016 tutorial, which you can find by clicking the link on screen or in the video description. If you just want to pick up straight from animation though, you can download the project file, which you'll also find in the description below, and follow along without having to do the modelling section. There are two versions of this tutorial. You're currently in the playlist version, which is a series of steps in their own video. If you're happy with that, then just hang on and we'll get going in a minute, but if you would prefer to do the tutorial as one long video, then just click the link on screen and you'll be taken there. If you get stuck at any stage, then just drop a comment below the video and I'll reply to you as soon as I can, or you can contact me through my Facebook page, you can email me, you can even get me through the Twitter. Right, I think that's the introduction done. Let's get cracking!
