Game Character Development with Maya

Rating:
Summary: Make sure this book is on your shelf!
Review: If you have ever wanted to model a character for game design or add to a game..this book is it!
I have been modeling with Maya for a year but never really got the feel for modeling. I learned alot about the interface and the tools but never put 2 and 2 together. Ward makes this book very simple and thought out and helps you understand that things dont always have to be complicated.
Pros - If you have a decent grasp of Maya and its polygon tolls, then you can jump right in..everything from your first poly to an animated, fully rigged character with facial setup.
Cons - The only fault I saw was that it doesnt go much into a beginners stand point of Maya..you either have to know Maya or you can learn it from the Maya PLE on the provided disk.
Overall this book was a 10 outa 10 on my scale! Good stuff!
