Customer Reviews:
A good Maya workbook.......2004-05-17
If you're looking for a hefty tome of reference information, this book is not it. The picture seemed to me to indicate a book about the size of most Maya reference books, but in reality, it's the size of a workbook, and was designed for class use, complete with short quizzes at the end of each chapter. The book is a good intro to game modeling, for people starting out in the software. People familiar with other software's tools and principles may find this book mostly review, with only a little new information introduced, apart from the differences in the toolsets.
A final note, you may want to consider getting it direct from Mesmer, too. It does tend to be a bit cheaper, although shipping isn't as fast or free. Teachers can get a Teaching Gamecraft book for free with an order as well.
best Maya book I've read.......2003-07-19
I got the first version, and just got the new one, updated for Maya 5. It's in full color!! And they added a bunch of rigging stuff and a chapter on weighting. Also the printing is way better (the quality on the first one was kind of poor).
I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn how to make game art with Maya. As other reviewers have commented, it isn't for absolute newbies, but being familiar with the interface or maybe having taken an intro Maya class is probably good enough to get started with it.
lacking information.......2003-03-13
wanna learn how to use polygons? this is it!.......2001-12-20
It will then move on to teaching UV mapping for polygons. That is also very helpful.
A few notes to beginners. This book is meant for animators who already know how to use the Maya interface. It won't go much into where all the buttons are etc., so I suggest your familiarize yourself with Maya's interface first. If you decide not to, you might be doing some searching around to do the tuts. I can't make a very accurate guess with this because I already knew the interface before starting with this book.
Another thing is that it ends with rigging characters for games. I was expecting to learn how-to, only to find that it says that it expects you to know how to work with the basics of rigging. I haven't gone into that chapter yet, so I could be wrong about how hard it is as a beginner in rigging, but there is another book called Maya 2 Character Animation that goes over rigging techniques and teaches it in depth, from simple to complicated. For beginners like me with rigging, since rigging exercises are so hard to find online, maybe this book will be a very good buy to accompany Maya Illuminated.
Otherwise, this is an EXCELLENT resource book. It will teach you how to model polygons from scratch. The only thing you need to know as I said is the interface.
Read the book, took the course.......2001-05-07

Customer Reviews:
Coulda Saved Me a Lot of Early Career Money!!.......2002-10-04
Now, as a 15-year recruiting veteran, career coach, and careers author, I teach this backdoor method myself. For both beginners in the job market, or beginners to the idea of informational interviewing and backdoor job search (which many of my 40-50 year-old clients are), this is a great career manual. Katharine walks the uninitiated through the entire philosophy, psychology, and practical steps of non-lemming job finding--doing it differently. Since 80% of all jobs are filled BEFORE being advertised, the technique of tapping the "hidden job market" as Katharine describes is crucial to long-term career management. Plus, experts say we are moving away from the traditional "permanent job," so knowledge of formalized networking will be a REQUIRED SKILL in tomorrow's economy.
I did well in college because 4 months earlier I found a little book called "How to Make Straight A's in College by Beating the System". "A Foot In The Door" is the same type of book to read after college and before any career change...because this is about beating the job search system.
Thanks for spelling it all out Katharine!
