This is my fourth year using Maya, and this book has a wealth of information. The video/project tutorials assist in quick references and techniques to navigate the program. You should be mindful how to apply these techniques to your individual projects. All graphics are legible and easy to understand; the character models change with each issue.
This is a great book with lots of helpful info but I bought the Kindle edition to carry with me on my iPad and the formatting SUCKS!!! It is all screwed up. One page will have section 1, then 4, then 3 then 6... makes no sense. Don't you guys check your work? It does have great info but I feel cheated that it's so hard to read.
Exceeds expectations... clear screen shots, no disc (as expected) but website downloads (as expected) is far more sensible IMHO.Revised for Maya 2014 and new features used in exercises. Lot of tips and asides from an authority on animation.Loving this book. :-)
I love this book.I learned so much from it!I had to skip the first chapter to work with a later one. For some reason the first chapter expects more maya experience out of you then following ones. O.o
Good book for aspiring 3D artists. Even if you think you know it all, you'll still learn a thing or two.
If you're an animator just starting with Maya or have years of experience this book is a must have.
