From the Author
With the new free version of Maya (student learning edition) released by Alias Wavefront concurrent with the release of this book, aspiring animators have it better than ever before. You can now learn animation on the very best 3D software with nothing more than a computer, some time and this book. - Jim Lammers |
Lee and I tried to take the approach of teaching the way we might like to be taught. This book incorporates marking menus and hotkeys starting in chapter 5 to speed productivity, the same way that pros get faster in Maya. We also recorded 14 hours of 800x600 video capture so that any tutorial difficulties the user has with the text can be quickly solved by watching a movie. Scene files are saved on the CD every few pages of tutorial so you can start or stop at interim points. |
