商品描述

In Silico introduces Maya programming into one of the most fascinating application areas of 3D graphics: biological visualization. In five building-block tutorials, this book prepares animators to work with visualization problems in cell biology. The book assumes no deep knowledge of cell biology nor 3D graphics programming. An accompanying DVD-ROM includes code derived from the tutorials, the working Maya computer files, and sample animated movies. The interior of the book contains generous Maya screen captures, tables, and flowcharts to compliment the instruction and tutorials. Full 4 color illustrations rendered from the authors' working files illustrate the capacity to produce striking pictures from the rendered models being created. Throughout the text, key words are set in bold type and subsequently defined in a glossary. Page margin tips and tricks compliment the adjacent copy, and icons direct the reader to specific references within the Maya Help library. The visualizations in the book are stunning examples of the state of the art.

*Teaches artists and scientists to create realistic digital images of humans and nature with popular CG program, Maya

*This self-contained study guide includes background, foundations, and practice

*Step-by-step example programs and end-result demonstrations help readers develop thie own portfolios

*Gorgeous four color screen shots throughout

商品描述(中文翻譯)

《In Silico》將Maya程式設計引入到3D圖形的其中一個最迷人的應用領域:生物可視化。透過五個基礎教程,本書讓動畫師能夠處理細胞生物學中的可視化問題。本書假設讀者對細胞生物學和3D圖形程式設計沒有深入的了解。附帶的DVD-ROM包含從教程中衍生出的程式碼、Maya的工作檔案以及示範動畫。書中內容包含大量的Maya螢幕截圖、表格和流程圖,以補充教學和教程。從作者的工作檔案中渲染出的全彩插圖展示了創建的模型所能產生的引人注目的圖片。在整本書中,關鍵詞以粗體字標示,並在詞彙表中進行了定義。頁邊提示和技巧與相鄰的內容相輔相成,圖示則引導讀者查閱Maya幫助文檔中的特定參考資料。本書中的可視化展示是當代藝術的驚人範例。

*教導藝術家和科學家使用流行的CG程式Maya創建逼真的人物和自然數字影像
*這本獨立的學習指南包含背景、基礎知識和實踐
*逐步示範程式和最終結果的演示幫助讀者建立自己的作品集
*全彩螢幕截圖令人驚艷
