Maya 4.5 Bible

Rating:
Summary: Pretty Disappointed
Review: This book is definatly not for someone trying to learn to use Maya on the PC. The biggest disappointment is not the book but the CD-ROM. There are no tutorial files for the PC on it, as the book was sent to market without them. The PC tutorials are available at the publishers website. It is over 250 MB in size so if you have dial-up be prepared to spend alot of time downloading. Many of the chapters tutorials are not complete either. The quick-start and chapter 6 on texturing are two that I've found so far as I'm still downloading. Over-all this book has now cost me much more than it is worth due to time downloading and then finding incomplete files. Wiley publishing does not indicated that they will send you a replacement CD-ROM on the site. Without the CD the book is really hard to follow.

Summary: How to fix the issue with the CD
Review: This is a good book for users with a good understanding of Maya. It covers alot of things that other books dont. The one major problem with the book is the CD has problems on the windows OS. This is resolved very easily. All you need to do is call the publisher. They will ship you a replacement CD within about a week. Other than that Maya Bible is a very good book
