Tri-Dimensional Studios of Tampa, Florida has launched The Maya Training Center, a state-of-the-art computer animation training facility specializing in intensive training for Alias' Maya. Designed to meet the needs of professionals and enthusiasts alike, The Maya Training Center provides Maya 3D animation training via its Tampa-based state-of-the-art classrooms and remotely through onsite training at their client's location.
Online courses are available through its Website at www.MayaTraining.com. The Maya Training Center was acquired by Tri-Dimensional in order to enhance the training experiences of their corporate clients, and enthusiast worldwide.
Kevin Scolaro, president of The Maya Training Center says, "With our start-of-the-art Website, www.MayaTraining.com, every person from around the globe can be trained online and interactively. Online training like this has never been offered before." Tri-Dimensional was the first studio specializing in 3D animation in Tampa and remains the only one offering training of this nature.
The Maya Training Center offers multiple training options for beginning, intermediate and advanced Maya users. Intensive classroom sessions in the Tampa facilities feature hands-on training and individual workstations. The Maya Training Center provides identical courses onsite at client locations, moving trainers and, if desired, high-speed software-loaded workstations. Online courses are in realtime, and use advanced educational technologies such as Internet conferencing with voice conversations, chat, streaming video, web cams and live interactive lectures to enhance student learning. Unlimited access to streaming video tutorials and lessons are available with monthly memberships at their dedicated Website, which also offers multiple free tutorials as well as the sale of instructor demonstrations on video.
The Maya Training Center instructors have more than 20 years of combined experience, including stints on feature films with DreamWorks Feature Animation and Walt Disney Pictures, as well as extensive television experience. The Maya Training Center's instructors have worked in both production and post-production environments, and have trained for corporate, government and academic institutions, including St. Pete College in St. Petersburg, Florida.
