MAYA 2008 - 3D Modeling and Animations by Tereza Flexman Free PDF

MAYA 2008 - 3D Modeling and Animations | Tereza Flexman | Free PDF

Maya 2008 Character Modeling and Animation: Principles and Practices is an introductory-to-intermediate–level text designed for anyone who wants to learn 3D character modeling, rigging, and animation using Autodesk Maya software. 

The book is intended to support both classroom use and the independent learner. The organizational approach is based on my classroom teaching experience over the past seven years. It was motivated by a lack of texts that effectively integrate the principles of animation with their technical implementation in Maya. 

Each chapter starts with a section (or sections) that describes the relevant principles. These are largely software independent, although sometimes include illustrations or mini-tutorials demonstrating the concepts using Maya. The second part of each chapter is composed of one or more detailed tutorials.

Introduction to Game Development Steve Rabin 2nd Edition Free PDF

 

Introduction to Game Development  | Steve Rabin |  2nd Edition | Free PDF

Introduction to Game Development is a book in the vein of the Game Programming Gems series, it consists of a collection of articles written by game industry veterans (Steve Rabin, Noel Llopis, Eric Lengyel, etc.) with the  aim of providing a solid overall introduction to the game development industry from all its various aspects, be they engineering, art or business based. Calling this a book is a bit misleading, it is more of a tome, this  hardcover 1000 page monster is extremely detailed and comprehensive for what you would expect just looking at the cover.

The book is divided into several sections, each related to a specific role in the industry: game design, game programming, audio visual(art) and game production (publishing and economics). Each of these sections contains  several articles, each covering various sub-disciplines and topics within that field. As I mentioned there is a lot of detail present in the articles and the technical content is extremely solid, the chapters on graphics, animation and AI actually have more technical content in them than was present in Game Coding Complete and some of the other “All in one” beginner books I’ve seen.
