Maya 5 Fundamentals
http://images.amazon.com/images/P/07...1.LZZZZZZZ.jpg Price: $31.50 (Amazon.com) Paperback: 450 pages Publisher: New Riders Publishing; 1st edition (September 10, 2003) ISBN: 0735713723 I am thinking of ordering this book and I thought I should post my comments here so in case anybody else is interested in it... The really nice part I see is that they offer CD full of video tutorials (800x600 res) to help us :beer: As for the book we'll be able to create the following:
The book is going to be available September 2003 -Emo |
Looks like a cool book I must check this one out!:cool:

You could just get Maya 4.5 fundamentals which is already out. The difference between the two are small updates. A mention of new features, maybe a new tutorial, but thats about it.
|
I think i'll buy this book when it comes out :)

we have to wait til the book is out to know for sure. |
I dished out $45 for 4.5 fundamentals. I dont plan on dishing out another $45.

I already read the 3d Studio Max 5 Fundamentals Book and can REALLY recommend that kind of books. I generally like the New Riders books. I´ll buy this one for sure just to get in touch with Maya.
Sounds great! |

Lemm just say that I bought Maya 4.0 Fund and then 4.5 came out - irregardless of that - I found the books to be quite the useless. I wouldn't recommend them. Junky, confusing, and very very superficial and a lot of things I needed to know the book doesn't even cover. You'll learn so little you'll get pissed off. It's a very very newbie book which won't be looked at past a couple of weeks. Mine has not even been looked at since. Stick with the maya online help, online tutorials or
these JAejin Chon ' s Character animation book. Stupendous! Maya Savvy 4.5 - confusing as hell but detailed, and makes you think. at least the information is there albeit needing a bit of work to get an understanding. Maya 4.5 Bible (EXCELLENT) - Probably one of the best generalist ones (but it also goes really detailed into lots of stuff). Cheap, thick and good. The cdrom is screwy on PCs - the tutorial files won't show up on a PC but will on a mac - you can download them from their website or copy the files on a mac and reburn. Excellent. |
