Résumé

Creating realistic digital effects is a difficult task even for the pros. But with the innovative features and accessibility of powerful graphics software like Maya, creating fascinating, commercial-quality effects is now within the reach of many artists and animators. With the theory, hands-on examples, and animations included in these pages, you will see the power of Maya in action and learn how to master it for your own animation productions. Through the detailed instructions and production-based animations, you will learn the problem solving skills and techniques needed to create stunning effects. Maya is one of the most complete, production-ready programs available, and its open architecture allows you to add functions easily. Maya is the main program used throughout the book, however, the theory and techniques are applicable to many other commercial 3D software programs.

Covers both the technical and aesthetic issues from problem solving to generating believable animations
Uses example animations to investigate the techniques employed to create them
Maya is the primary program used throughout, but the techniques are applicable to a variety of programs
CD includes files, images, movies, scripts, and free models
