Computer animated visual effects have exploded into the mainstream of the film, television, and video game industries over the last five years. The new digital toolsets can create photo realistic elements with greater flexibility and precision than their traditional counterparts; an ability which is expanding at an exponential rate. These tools are now represented at every major studio, from ILM and Square, to literally thousands of smaller studios worldwide.

The Maya course proposed by Dr Seah Hock Soon (Chairman of SIGGRAPH Singapore) is aimed to provide a form of 3D training package to SIGGRAPH members. Non-SIGGRAPH members who wished to participate in the Maya courses can sign up as a SIGGRAPH member. NTU Centre of Continuing Education is jointly advertising and taking care of logistics of the course. The venue for the Maya courses is located at CGIT (Centre for Graphics and Imaging Technology) and provides the necessary equipments and software for the courses.
