Maya 4.5 for Windows and Macintosh: VQG


by Danny Riddell, Andrew Britt

Maya has been used in almost every film nominated for a visual effects Oscar in the past five years. This text should be suitable for all introductory-to-intermediate level courses on Maya 4.5.
      Used to create over half of the top 20 best-selling holiday PlayStation 2 titles in December 2001 and used in almost every film nominated by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences in the best visual effects category for the past five years, Maya is one of the world's most powerful, high-end 3D animation and visual effects software programs available. Maya 4.5, the latest version of the all-in-one modeling, rendering, and 3D animation program, is loaded with new features -- it's deep stuff, and most find it very difficult to learn. The Visual Quickstart approach makes the learning curve a bit less steep.
