Learning Maya 7
I've just got the "Learning Maya 7 - The modeling and Animation Handbook". It looks pretty cool and it comes with a DVD with a bunch of files, textures, etc. The only problem: I can't read DVD's on my computer. Does anyone know where I can download at least the files needed for the lessons?
I've searched on the entire Alias site and I couldn't find anything.
And yes, I know I have to buy a DVD drive...
Cheers,
Eduardo

Get a dvd drive.
Those files if downloaded would be a violation of copyright. We do not condone doing this on our site.

He could still be using the PLE-version, which is just fine, and available for download.Originally posted by Jay
Then how did you get Maya 7 on your machine may I ask? both install and extras discs are dvd format. If you are pirated software, please go elsewhere

Syllogism:
"All humans are mortal, I am a human, therefore, I am mortal"
"He has no DVD drive, therefore, he's using a pirated version..."
I think you need a second premise, Jay! (no offense)

life is like that,
pirated or original, my approach is, if got money, buy the original, if no, then think somewhere else or download the educational pack. imagine a country where people earning per month is less than USD 150.00, so, does this mean their kids cannot learn maya coz their parents cannot afford the software? they even got problem to get a old 486 pc. they even can't afford to buy the old version maya.
i agree if, they say, "you are poor, so you cannot enjoy those luxuries (good food, lobster, high class home and so on ...) ", but i strongly disagree, if they say "you are poor, go away, you cannot learn this and that".

many publishers do so. many 3d published books do so.
many have available chapter files/scene files available.
so if u buy a book and u break the cd that came with it, u go buy another book?....

When I ordered the books, I just didn't notice they came with DVD's. One year ago, I bought “Maya 6 The Complete Reference" wich comes with a regular CD ROM . So, I really thought it was the same thing for the new ones. I'm not asking for a suspicious site to download the files from, just an official site, like Alias. And apparently they don’t have them. The modeling book uses 3 reference files in lesson 1 (the usual files you import as a reference image). That's all I want! I'll probably scan those files from the book until I get that DVD drive.
Cheers

Exactly. I BOUGHT those books from Amazon; I paid $88.18 for them. So I think it is my right to get those files whenever I want.

depends on the authors site. we had to make a cd version at school cause the computers did not have dvd-rom drives when we started. you can get a drive for $12 if you look brand new. or maybe used by you. but i paid $18 shipped for a dvd drive only. burner a little more.

1. Purchase a DVD drive as media is increasingly in this format.
Or
2. Contact Amazon or Alias and see if they can let you download the scene files you want. There is a reason that this may be difficult to find without contacting them.
If you find the files on a site not authorized by the Author of the book....then it's in violation of a copyright.

They are pretty cool by the way, but I think I prefer a different style. These are more like a big walkthrough. I prefer to read about theory and general topics.
Thanks for answering,
Cheers.
