Features: This book has a novel structure, cleverly conceived content, and a progressive approach with rich and exciting examples. It completely breaks the traditional "command + example" learning method, organically integrating artistic principles throughout. Through this revolution in Maya learning, you will become a true digital artist. This book is designed for beginners and intermediate users, suitable for animation professionals, digital enthusiasts, game developers, and multimedia developers. It can also serve as a supplementary textbook for animation majors in higher education institutions and as teaching material for social animation training classes. It is an excellent book that brings a revolutionary approach to Maya learning, taking the revolution to its fullest extent through revolutions in modeling, rendering, and motion. In the revolution of modeling, the author creatively proposes using three modeling workflows to create the majority of models: inductive modeling, planar modeling, and skinning. This book provides an effective way of thinking, helping you analyze, summarize, and generalize the principles of modeling from three perspectives. In the revolution of rendering, you will understand how color is formed, the relationship between light and surfaces, and the smoothness and roughness of object surfaces. Here, commands, examples, and artistic principles are organically integrated. In the revolution of motion, you will experience the visual impact of character animation, like a diamond at the apex of the pyramid, dazzling and brilliant.
