4.0 out of 5 stars
The only book that covers this topic
This book is pretty much the only printed source of information that goes over the Maya dynamics in enough details. In addition to the traditionnal coverage of particles and emitters, it includes *lots* of useful examples on rigid bodies, constraints, particle collisions, soft bodies, etc. I think it's the most straight-forward way to get up to speed with this type of...

A good start
A good start if your just learning Maya. Not everything you need to know about dynamics, but enough to push you in the right direction. As with all of the 'Learning Maya' series, you'll find that they are more tutorial based than other books. Unfortunatly, it lacks a lot of key definition and doesn't show many if any cross referances to the other Maya subsets.

This book is pretty much the only printed source of information that goes over the Maya dynamics in enough details. In addition to the traditionnal coverage of particles and emitters, it includes *lots* of useful examples on rigid bodies, constraints, particle collisions, soft bodies, etc. I think it's the most straight-forward way to get up to speed with this type of effects in Maya.
One thing I really liked about this book, is how each topic is explained by example. Each example scene lasts 5 to 10 pages. This makes the book practical and motivating, since you can learn new techniques every few pages. BTW, it looks like version 5 and 6 of the book have a very similar content. I'd recommend getting the (much cheaper) old version for people who want to save some money. |
