Ive been thinking about trying some of Gnomes outOriginally posted by Darkware
If any of you decide to purchase a book, CD, or DVD, do not get any DVD's from Alias|Wavefront. At least not the one for texturing and UV's. I nearly fell asleep watching the thing. He talks and talks and talks. To much yakking and not enough working. That's why I like Alex from Gnomon. All work and no play. Fast and to the point. Anyway, there's my two cents.

One of the good things about the Fundamentals book is there is a section in the back that is geared towards users transitioning from 3DS Max. It goes over equivalent key commands and menu items, terminology, processes, etc. I think it does a pretty job of helping "switchers".
For more advanced materials (or even a bit more), here are a few good books I have in my collection:
Maya: Secrets of the Pros
Inspired 3D Character Animation
Inspired 3D Character Setup

It is the sucessor of "Mastering Maya 3" which I heard was a good one.

DARKWARE please response
i am really very happy that u post your comments and u write that thses dvds are very good,so please tell me that ,
i am new in maya i never use maya before so please tell me after purchasing thses dvds can i become maya expert,because i am so interested in maya!
and also tell me that thses dvds are only 100 minutes so can u think that after spending 100 minutes on one thing i become the master of maya like ,modeling,kinematics,and dynamics,also soft rigid bodies
so please give the link of your website that i can watch your work on maya!
because i post a message but the moderator said that,first u give us 14 ponds and then we tell u whole the thing but this is not correct.
so sir i am waiting your more comments on gnomon3d training dvds.

you will learn more from these plus you get far far more for your £14!
In fack I think the cheapest DVD you will get will cost you around $60 for like 100 minutes! So here for you £14 you can get around 7 hrs!

And I agree with TychoCelchuuu. The Mesmer book is wonderful. That's actually one of the first books I bought when I transitioned from Max to Maya -- I needed something focused specifically on games for my freelance work. Even though it was written for Maya 3, all of the concepts and techniques still apply to 4 and 4.5.
