Sophisticated Maya Tips and Techniques from the Experts!
In this distinctive Maya Press title, a cadre of experts led by two acclaimed Maya pros reveal the precious secrets they've learned using Maya on high-profile CG projects such as The Matrix, Shrek 2, and X-Men. Inside you'll find detailed and sophisticated instruction on how to:
- Enhance fluidity and realism by generating complex motion with Maya Cloth
- Apply non-photorealistic rendering styles that mimic the look of comic books and impressionist paintings
- Emulate real-world camera motion, from dolly-and-pan movement to varying levels of camera shake
- Produce natural lighting effects using global illumination and image-based lighting
- Ensure smooth and accurate transfer of character data from modeling to rigging to animation to lighting
- Control IK chains, deformers, and surfaces with Maya Hair's dynamic curves
- Use dynamics effectively to create flexible objects and add secondary effects that enhance your animation
- Use Maya's built-in noise function to produce powerful effects similar to those used in recent adventure films
- Create a human face from a conceptual sketch using subdivision surfaces
Featured on the CD: All the animations, scripts, and support files you need to understand and complete the book's tutorials.
