Maya is an essential tool for creating cutting-edge 3D animation and special effects. Today, it's used by everyone from students and advertising firms, to game companies and elite film houses such as Industrial, Light & Magic, Pixar, and Disney.
Written by a top-notch team of Maya professionals, Maya Savvy is a thorough update to the best-selling Mastering Maya 3. It delivers the most comprehensive coverage available for Alias/Wavefront's extraordinarily powerful software. Key topics include: Modeling with NURBs and polygons; creating realistic textures and shading; and working with particles, dynamics, and MEL.
Maya Savvy also features hands-on tutorials that integrate Maya instruction with real-world advice on planning, organizing, and managing your Maya creations. A full-color insert illustrates the techniques discussed in the book. And the enclosed CD adds a 3D gallery plus a collection of demos and plug-ins
Like all Savvy books, Maya Savvy is printed on quality, coated paper for crisp image reproduction.
