Whilst looking for a good maya book i came across this place, not sure if they deliver to US (sorry guys) but its £1 delivery in the uk.

i Picked up Maya 4 fundamentals for £29 which is almost £10 cheaper than amazon.

great price on the fundamentals.. good link lemmy, cheer for pointing it out!!

I live in Canada, but throughout Canada AND THE US, lies a damn good bookstore knows as chapters, I found that maya fundimenals, when I took a glance at it my first words were "This is easy, though it would be an excellent resource for beginners".

Anyway, the website for chapters is

http://www.chapters.ca (I forgotton the us link, but there should be a regional link somewhere through out that site, but they DO take credit cards or cheques I beleive).

Yep Chapters rocks!!!......you can pretty much find anything you want there:beer:


Thanks Killer;)

every good canadian know that chapter's rule .
but if you live in montreal i can give you some nice adress for more specific source (like all aliaswavefront learning tools)
and kevin this is totally official....:D

Art of Maya
 

....anyone know where I can "download" a PDF copy of the Art of Maya?

This is probably not the best place to ask for that sort of thing... you risk being removed. :P Just a heads up...

yeah, i believe that falls under the category of things not to talk about

..dont matter, heard the thing sucks anyways

LOL yeah it does suck LOL

I actually kinda liked that book... not for its helpfulnes, but just for its visual quality. ;P

LOL you mean it had nice pictures :D

.....this kind of thing brings back some pleasant memories,when I was once painting a horse barn, an observer made a remark to me: " what your doin sure as hell aint much.....but it sure looks nice!"

For info - very low price for this seemingly popular book as listed on Amazon.co.uk:

Maya 4 Fundamentals
List Price: £34.99
Our Price: £17.49
You Save: £17.50 (50%)


What do people think of this - is it worth buying (compared to the "Instant Maya" user guide that comes with the software) ?

4 fundamentals is a very good book, i highly recommend it
