Maya 4.5 Fundamentals


by Jim Lammers, Lee Gooding

Author Jim Lammers says:
      "Based on some of the feedback we got for the 4.0 edition, we tried to improve the 4.5 edition in several ways. First, we added more information on the character animation tools in Maya. Garry Lewis, a talented Maya artist, helped me craft the content of this chapter. Secondly, we added all the edits necessary to make the new edition respect the features new to Maya 4.5. This is particularly evident in the re-write of chapter 7's proxy modeling - Maya's speedy new SmoothProxy feature.
