Autodesk Maya LT Commercial New Single-user ELD - 3 Year Subscription
Autodesk Maya is designed to give new users an understanding of the skills needed to create beautiful 3D models and animations with Autodesk Maya. Using easy to follow instructions, this book will guide you through learning all the major features of Maya. The text is complemented by video instruction. Each chapter has a corresponding video tutorial that introduces you to the topics and allows you to watch and learn how functions are performed in a way that a text alone cannot do. This guide makes no assumptions about your previous experience with Autodesk Maya. It begins by helping you with the user interface and navigating scenes before moving into modeling, texturing, lighting, animating, rendering and more. Advanced features such as character rigging, skinning, animating with dynamics and MEL scripting are also introduced. Each chapter begins by examining the concept behind each task, the goal and the necessary features that are involved. Then you go in-depth with the objective of your task as you study examples and learn the steps necessary to complete it. Working your way through the lessons, you'll develop the skills you need to create incredible renderings and animations using Autodesk Maya.
