The Art of Maya

Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

I have it- I love it- I like that it is bare bones and broke down well.

but it is easier to learn by watching someone else do it (SM video plug user added image

Hey, Kamakaz,

If you haven't purchased it yet, you can get the best price at "www.overstock.com". I just bought my copy from there a couple days ago.

I looked at the book at a bookstore a few weeks ago and was quite impressed with what it showed, especially for a nooB like me. I am looking forward to it.
