FROM THE PUBLISHER
The Game Animator's Guide to Maya is the only book to explore Maya's rigging and animation tools to provide artists and animators with real-world techniques for creating today's video and PC game animations. The book first introduces readers to the games industry and typical game development pipelines, then looks at rigging and animation basics and techniques. Finally, the real-world, hands-on projects help readers learn everything from how to seamlessly blend animations (for instance, having a character walk, then attack, then walk again) to animating wings, slime, and vehicles. The book also features interviews with game animators and a CD with $3000 of exclusive content, including models, high-resolution textures, animations, concept art, animation reference videos, and the Maya Personal Learning Edition.
