This is a perfect solution for the complete entrance level user of Autodesk Maya 2014. It explains basic polygonal modeling, jointing, skinning, weight painting and rigging, proper UV procedures, lighting and animating. Although the entire process can seem certainly overwhelming at first, and the book covers a broad range of specialized skills sets, there is nothing on the entry level that this book does not cover, and it does so in a clear, comprehensible voice. Definitely happy I picked this up. Look no further.
