The Art of Rigging, volume one, is a beautiful text printed at the highest quality
in full color. The text presents what is often considered to be a confusing topic
in a clear and concise manner that will truly benefit both students and professionals.
Because each chapter is designed to become progressively more advanced, readers can
quickly find the information they need regardless of whether they are at a novice or
professional level.
Included with the book is a DVD-based training course with over 30 video lectures
spanning every major topic from the book. This DVD is an unprecedented value giving
readers over 9 hours of quality training material at no extra cost. The DVD features
many Maya scene files, including many original creatures (and their rigs) that were
designed especially for this book.
To help prospective technical directors learn how to harness the power of Maya's
Embedded Language or 'MEL', every chapter in The Art Of Rigging includes full coverage
of the creation of a custom script. Line-by-line breakdowns help to demystify complex
script creation and will inspire readers to get started writing their own Maya programs.
Seasoned MEL scripters will benefit from getting an inside look at alternative
programming techniques. No current MEL texts include in-depth discussion of advanced
techniques like file I/O, recursion, multi-dimensional arrays and matrices.
