Alias|Wavefront's Maya is one of the most powerful, high-end 3D animation and visual effects applications available today. Animators around the world use Maya to create quality digital content for film, video, broadcast, and game development. Exploring Maya 4: 30 Studies in 3D provides a practical, project-based approach to Maya 4, using hands-on, working tutorials for the professional 3D artist. Author Maximilian Schonherr highlights ways to achieve specific projects and tasks in Maya. Each chapter starts with a "how can I do this?" question, such as "How do I animate a bicyclist?" or "How do I model a nose with a wart and freckles?" or "What's the best way to simulate the movement of grass in a field?" This book dives into Maya thirty times from very different angles, approaching the software from a playful and practical perspective, where everyday life and thoughts are sources of inspiration.
