Aspiring Freelance Animators Learning From Great MAYA Tutorials

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. My debt obligations lead me to a search for other income sources such as freelancing jobs. Actually even the writing projects that I have accepted still cannot help me make my ends meet. I decided to accept graphic design projects even if requires me to learn and use softwares such as MAYA and Photoshop just to boost my income.

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.

I was quite anxious about CGTube.net at first. I was able to join their forum, where you can ask people about topics related to animation and other computer programs on graphics and design to lessen my anxiety. Sure enough, I was able to find Maya tutorials that I badly needed. There are also several sample videos created by various people. The things I have seen indeed inspired me so much. I may not have any formal training but I am confident enough that I will be able to make simple graphics and animation with the help of CGTube.net.

What I can say is that the Maya tutorials found in the site have really helped me a lot. Right now, some of my friends and new acquaintances already hired me to create graphics and animation for their websites and online marketing campaigns. I am now happy that I have boosted my monthly income using my new skills in animation and graphics software.
