Free Beginner Tutorials at Animation Apprentice

Animate a Cartoony Vehicle

We have lots of beginner animation tutorials at Animation Apprentice, many of them completely free. 

To get started with animation basics, why not Animate a Telephone Ringing in Maya, Animate a Flag Waving in Maya, or Animate a Submarine Underwater. 

It takes a while to master the art and craft of animation, but these beginner tutorials are a great way to get started.

Basic Animation Tutorials

All our tutorials are designed to be easy to use for beginners just getting started with Maya. That said, the learning curve for 3D animation is steep in the early stages. Be patient, do your best, and don't give up!
