Summary: Just follow the steps, no explanations...
Comment: This book just goes through a series of steps, with no explanations of the concepts being used. Is there a book out there that explains things at a high level, then at a more detailed level with tutorials and explanations? In the first lesson you start adding particle effects and start fine tuning attributes without ever having a good explanation of what particle effects are or what they should be used for and what they shouldn't be used for. If there is a good high level, then detailed explanations with relevant tutorials please let me know, because this is not that book. This book should be titled: Random Intermediate Tutorials In Maya 5.
If anyone has seen the book I am looking for, please send me an e-mail at [email protected]. Once again I'm looking for a book with a solid chapter of at least 50 pages on each of the following topics at a high-level: Modeling, Texturing, Lighting, Rigging, Animating. Then a follow-up chapter with in-depth explanation of the tools in Maya used for each topic including a series of tutorials (at least one basic, one intermediate, and one advanced). Is this book out there?

Summary: The best help so far
Comment: This book is the best 3d tutorial book I have read yet. I am new to 3D and have tried 6 other books aimed at beginners. This book is so far the best in getting me to feel confident in using Maya. There are a few areas that I'm sure have not been updated as the software has changed, ie there are seemingly steps missing and a couple of things aren't exactly as they say to do it. Though the beauty of Maya is there are so many ways to go about doing something in Maya, and this book reinforces that, each project will show you how to go about to do similar operations in Maya, but each time will show you a different way to go about it in the software.
They best sorce of help for beginning Maya.

Summary: Good and Bad
Comment: .
I thought it was a good book. Most of it was simple, and any idiot could do it.
BUT there were some steps that were simply missed out that caused problems later in the lession, they were a pain to fix.
Never the less they could have done some things better but most of it was good.
It was worth buying
