Having no prior skill or experience in 3D design, is it possible to learn Maya ? Or should I be doing a basic 3D design course to take the next step to learn Maya.
I don't think stepping from one software to another will help you, as it would take extra time to learn both software. Maya was the first program I learned. I was self taught, but took a classes for more advanced/artistic stuff later. There is plenty of free and paid online tutorials. There are also online classes. Here's a thread linking to some resources: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/maya-forum/best-maya-tutorials-links-videos-amp-websites/td-p/727129... also Youtube has lots of channels by people dedicated to teaching 3d. An online class might be a good option once you've gotten used to the software a bit and would benefit from artistic or technical guidance.
