Character
Animation 3
A very significant update to the
classic book
that's been a standard text for over a decade. The book covers
much more complex characters and animation techniques than
previous versions. A worthwhile upgrade

This Maya book is
different from all
the others. It presents core Maya features visually, using pages that
are packed with beautiful graphics and loaded with detailed
explanations on every crucial feature of Maya's interface.

Jeremy Birn's

of lighting and rendering
is easy to understand,
but technical enough to be a great addition to

the best book on textures ever written.
