商品描述

Maya Character Animation is a step-by-step guide to building and honing your modeling and animation skills. Heavily illustrated tutorials teach you how to build effective characters from the ground up, with detailed coverage of successful subdivision surface and polygon modeling techniques. In later chapters, you'll navigate the intricacies of rigid and smooth character binding, discover the art of compelling facial expressions, and systematically conquer post-modeling challenges ranging from character setup to non-linear animation editing to mapping and rendering.

Capping it off is a complete project in which you plan, create, and refine your own short-piece animation. Throughout, you'll find hundreds of full-color images that show you what you can—and will—accomplish. You also get bonus coverage of Deep Paint 3D, the premier texture-painting program.
