Description

Maya Plug-In Power is a fast-paced, practical look at how to take Maya beyond the basics using all of today's powerful plug-ins! Maya is a powerful tool for sure, but with the plug-ins available, it becomes a complete tool box for any type of graphics, models, animation, or special effects you can think of. Throughout the book, users learn how to take Maya's modeling ability to new limits; they'll find out how to create realistic and fantasy hair and fur for their characters; and they'll learn how to add physical strength with awesome muscles. After that, they'll explore how to create really cool scenes with with water, goo, and more, and they'll incorporate live action along with a cornucopia of colors and textures. And if that isn't enough, they'll learn how to add behavior and flocking into their animations to rival that seen in Hollywood successes like Lord of the Rings! Obviously there is more to learn, like clothing, dynamic effects, and other high-end techniques, and this book explores all of these techniques and uses a variety of hands-on tutorials to teach users how to make it happen with the right functions and plug-ins. The book is written for anyone working in 3d and visual fx. It teaches artists and visual effects studios how to maximize the extensibility of Maya by writing their own plug-ins and taking advantage of third party ones already available. The companion DVD is packed with demo software and links to try out the plethora of plug-ins available. It also includes all the files needed to complete the projects in the book.
