| Alias’ Maya 5.0 is an incredibly powerful and deep program. A person could
work for months in the program and then one day accidentally stumble upon
a feature that they had no idea was there. Often people working in Maya
become so focused on one particular area that, if asked to work with a toolset
different to those they are familiar with, they wouldn’t be able to make head or
tail of it. That is where this book comes in.
The purpose of this book is to show, by example, the many different work areas
available in Maya 5.0; after following the examples, you will be able to navigate
comfortably through these. The examples are designed to be open-ended; this
means that the workflow from the tutorials can be applied to more complex
scenes.
Follow along and soon you will have the knowledge to model your own
characters, to light a world you have built, to animate a person talking to
himself, or to do anything else you can imagine. |
