Rating: - So far, so good
I haven't gotten through the entire book yet but I am impressed with it so far.The author talks about techniques in an interesting manner making you want to read more.I have a multitude of Maya books and so far this one is my favorite.
Rating: - Excellent technical book!
This book is written for intermediate Maya artists and it begins by covering some basic skills. In addition to lighting and texturing it goes on to cover a lot of valuable techniques.

Those subjects are covered in more detail in other books but the author goes a long way in introducing them. Overall, it's a great way to advance your skills.

One chapter is devoted entirely to Maya's lighs, another to only 2D texturing ... Read More
