Introduction


Maya 5 Fundamentals helps new animators quickly grasp the main tools and techniques that production Maya animators use. This book is not a collection of dabblings in Maya, and few of the tutorials start with loading a preconstructed scene. As gently as possible, this book helps you dive into the water and learn how to swim like a pro.

Maya has historically been targeted to larger effects studios and animation houses. To some extent, that targeting continues in the current version, in that no complex sample scenes are included, and material libraries, marking menus, and hotkeys are minimal. This book includes all these aids to help you absorb the working methods of a Maya animator. In addition, this book includes a "tear card" in the front with all the standard hotkeys listed for a handy reference that you can pull out of the book.
