Gonzalez Posted July 22, 2007 Report Posted July 22, 2007 Maya 8 Essential Training: Complete Video/HandsOn Tutorial"Your success is within your download reach" In this title, George Maestri explores the latest features of Maya 8, from the improved interface to the new productivity features for 3D modeling, animation, and rendering. The training also includes detailed tutorials on topics as varied as creating and connecting surfaces, texturing and shading, adding light and depth of field, and ghosting and motion trails. Exercise files accompany the tutorials.Table of contentsIntroductionIntroduction 0:261.
