Maya 6 books: searching advice

Miroku_87 · 06-04-2005, 09:11 PM

Hi,
I saw on internet the books of Maya 6.
I'm a begginer and I'd really like to become a character animator and I'd like to have a book which teach me how to.
Which book do you suggest me to buy? Learning Maya 6 Character Rigging and Animation or Character Animation 2nd Edition? (what's the difference between the first?)

Hello Miroku_87,

I would suggest Charecter Animation 2 edition. This book covers all of the bases, and this is what you need if your a begginer. The Alias book is manly only on creating an advanced charecter rig. Altought this is a good book aswell, but it might be to advanced for a beginner. I have both of them,and I started with one then went to the next. Well I hope this helps you on your decision and good luck.
