This is a good book for beginers in the 3D world, is like a 2nd step from the learning maya foundation. Usless for advanced 3D artist.

This is a great introductory book. I started it knowing little about Maya and it was easy to follow and engaging, giving a clear, detailed explanation of how to use the software while still challenging. I recommend it to any beginners and intermediate students.

the book is a complete guide from launching the application to ending your animation.. i find all the answers i am looking for and they are explained briefly by the screenshots of the software, so you never get lost.. maybe this book is more of a beginner/intermediate style book, however any advanced character modeler or animator can find what they are missing at the point, and dont waste hours searching for it on the net, whereas the book already has the brief explanation and tutorial for what you are doing.. in addition to all of this, with the cd given with the book, you do not only read the book and try on your own, you experience with the given examples in the book live..

This is a very clear combination of theory and tutorial. Very good start for understanding 3D and animation. Much more clear then the Maya manual… Must have it to make your life easier. Maya 2008 Character Modeling & Animation: Principles/Practices (Maya)
