This exceptional, full-color Autodesk Maya Press title -- produced by Autodesk, the software's creators -- uses an award-winning movie short as the basis for the book's all-new hands-on tutorials. The book provides clear step-by-step projects to help you understand the modeling and animation stages of production. You'll learn how to build models with a variety of surface types and then make them move with a wide range of animation techniques as well as how to make sound decisions from the beginning to save unnecessary challenges further down the pipeline. As a bonus feature, this book also introduces some animation techniques using Alias MotionBuilder.
