Build your Own Robot

Robots and humanoids have always ruled our imagination. Last month, we covered the FIRA event in Bangalore and were excited to see how robots battled in a game of soccer.

painting allow artists to form shapes that can be represented as 2D (two-dimensional) images, animation lets
you explore a new world. As the saying goes for the people working in the animation industry, “We are people who make imagination come real”. Through animation, new worlds can be imagined. This art form goes through the movement of a sequence of drawings or rendered images. In the last couple of
decades the impact of 3D computer graphics has been immense. You’ll find Fast Track to Maya a perfect solution, irrespective of whether you're an amateur CG artist or you're just migrating from another 3D platform. It introduces you to Maya and shows how you can work with Maya to create your art / rendered
images, whether it's animated or static in design.
