Reader Reviews From Amazon (Ranked by 'Helpfulness') Average Customer Rating: based on 1 reviews. Should be titled: Beginning Painter and Maya, 2007-05-06 Reviewer rating: To help out folks looking to buy this book, I just want to point out a few things I wish I'd known before buying it. First, if you are buying it for the Don Seemiller portion, you'd be much better off buying his "Digital Character Design and Painting" book, recently updated. I can't recommend that book highly enough. The current volume presents something resembling an excerpt from the Seegmiller book, taking up the first 90 pages, with the remainder of the book being a basic introduction to Maya. It's TONS of screen shots (in color, unusual for this publisher), with very little verbiage.
In short, I'd only recommend this book if you are looking for a nice short intro to character design with Painter and a beginner's guide to Maya. The title is very misleading. |
