Autodesk Maya 2018 Basics Guide

Excellent book!

Excelente

This book could be much better then it is... I learn through tutorial books regularly so I'm not unfamiliar with the process. It covers several very basic concepts at a time slowly which is nice, but then it saves these like mini tutorials for the end of these concepts and doesn't really apply them to real world situations. Which is fine I guess because you are learning the foundation of all the tools but what aggravates me the most is that during these mini tutorials it will just skip over steps! So sometimes it is nearly impossible to finish the tutorials and you have to scour the internet for other tutorials to figure out how to do some very basic steps. I mean I guess I am learning but not without aggravation, it seems maybe this book was translated from a different language maybe and everything did not transfer over well? Very frustrating! Maybe this will work for some people I don't know.. needs improvement.

I wish I could return it. If you buy it, go through it and decide if you want it, do this BEFORE you redeem the code on the inside of the front cover. This book is weak. It doesn't really explain how to use tools and the projects are not continuous. I regret my purchase
