Maya Character Animation

Maya Character Animation is a one-of-a-kind book featuring more than 800 pages of full-color, step-by-step, heavily illustrated Maya instruction. It was written with beginning and intermediate Maya animators in mind--students and professionals who have already familiarized themselves with the Maya interface and basic Maya techniques. Topics covered include subdivision and polygon modeling, subdivision surface mapping, subdivision surface character modeling, NURBS modeling, facial expression, binding characters, character setup, and nonlinear animation. Maya Character Animation also features in-depth coverage of Deep Paint 3D, a premiere texture painting program.
