Hello out there

I'm pretty much new to maya, I've have had experience with 3D Studio Max but now I'm making the switch over to Maya. I've recently got the Maya PLE on my computer and I was wondering if there were any must have Maya books that I should read.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

u might want to look at maya4 fundamentals, it's a really good book for beginners, the movies that come with it are good visual ref

Hi dude,

i too am quite new to Maya... i have also been scouting around for a good book....looks like we'll have to wait for another 4 weeks or so for "Maya X Savvy" which looks like a must have bible!!!

Hope i have helped a little....also....amazon has a heap of other books...but its kinda hard to know which ones are decent eh??? :)

Let me know if you find a good tutorials site...

CHeers ;)

I think I read in another post that the Maya X Savvy is a follow up to mastering maya 3, which is suppose to be a good book too, but I'm not sure?

As far as tutorials I know that the Gnomon Workshop website has some free tutorials on Maya, but if you want to look at the others you have to become a member and pay a certain fee.

If you find anymore info it would be greatly appreciated!
