What you'll learn

In this collection of lessons, we will learn about prop animation. This course covers tools and techniques for animating props in Maya. We'll discuss methods that are animator-friendly for prop animation. We'll learn how to animate constrained objects, how to blend smoothly between our space-switches as we keyframe a constraint's weight, and we'll even explore a technique for switching between spaces with no offset.
