Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I HIGHLY recommend this book not only to the novice/intermediate level 3d artist, but to advanced users coming over to Maya from a different software package. There are even gems for the Maya professional ( as an experienced character animator, I found the `toon tire tutorial eye-opening re: hierarchies and transform order ).
I was most impressed by the clarity with which the author covers each topic, and how the knowledge he imparts progressively builds in detail and complexity through each chapter and hands-on tutorial.
If you are new to Maya, or have remained specialized in Maya ( i.e. modeling ) and would like to branch out into other areas, this is THE book to buy.

Here is both a general guide for understanding 3-D computer graphics as well as a specific guide for learning the fundamentals of Maya: workspace, modeling, animation, shading, lighting, and rendering.Each chapter first presents an initial concept, which details a proven method, before providing hands-on tutorials and projects.This approach details how and why animation techniques work and explains how to use Maya for creating sophisticated, state-of-the-art animations.The author distills real-world experience into helpful hints and step-by-step guides for common tasks.
