Chapter one starts with the interface and basic navigation, then works toward a complete small scene: a restaurant set with a pilot and a corgi posed in it, lit and rendered. Most of the chapter is the build-up to that final frame.
The chapter uses assets from external marketplaces, so you will need to download them to follow along. The chapter list is long, but its timestamps make it easy to skip to the rigging or lighting part you need.
Welcome to my NEW Maya Tutorial series, Learn Maya 2026 For NOOBS! In Chapter 1, we start at the VERY beginning learning about the User Interface, Navigation, 3D manipulation, and work our way up to building and rendering a little restaurant scene using free assets from gumroad and fab.com. Autodesk Maya is used for 3D modelling, rigging, animation, lighting, rendering, and FX.
