Wavefront’s Maya 3D animation software is an integrated collection of tools for creating computer generated images, used in nearly every blockbuster special effects film that has been released in the last few years. As the first choice for digital content creators, Maya combines animation, dynamics, modelling and rendering tools, enabling you to create digital characters and visual effects for live action films or stand-alone animation. This text covers all the key topics using plenty of examples and illustrations. The source files and scenes that accompany the examples are available from the Springer web site.
