Résumé
Maya 4 Fundamentals will takeyou from a review of 3D
fundamentals to a working knowledge of creating content in
Maya 4. Topics covered include the interface and primary
tools, modeling with NURBS and polygons, applying materials
and textures, lighting, using modifiers and deformers,
animating scenes, using cameras, rendering stills and
animations, and using particle systems, dynamics, and paint
effects. Special appendices also cover making the change
from other software like 3ds max or LightWave to Maya.
Video-captured movies on the accompanying CD supplement the
tutorial foundation of the book.
