Hi,

I got the learning Maya 7 foundation book back when it was relevant and found it very useful.

It covered poly and NURBS modelling, texturing, basic character rigging and animation along with a few other bits and bobs all based around an award winning animation... blue robot or something.

I rekon the current version will cover pretty much the same things updated for the latest release of Maya so it'll probably be a good device for learning.

Hope that helps and have fun over the summer,

Mat.

Welcome to the forums.
There is a very handy search button up at the top of the page which I would recommend you use next time as there are dozens of threads on books and tutorials specifically user added image

Cheers.

I totaly Agree with Matt...

I bought The Maya 7 Foundation Book, Modelling and Animation Book and the Special Effects...

I have never looked back, also check out Mike McKinleys books for Character creating and animation for games, its a good read.
