Review: Meh - I thought this book would be a good reference for Maya but I found it hard to navigate. At times, searching for a term that was in the menus could not be found - i.e., there were no references to some menu items. Review: Not great. - This book is awful in general. I had to use it for a class and its not bad with instruction from professor but in general the book sucks and the quality of it really isn't great on kindle. If you can rent it somewhere do that but don't bother with trying the kindle version.

I've used many texts for the 2D and 3D animation courses I teach over the years, including many bad ones. This series from CADCIM is among the worst. Written by engineers with no ability to relate to normal human beings? Who knows. The directions, the illustrations, the exercises are poorly written, full of errors and exceedingly frustrating for both students and instructors.

Autodesk Maya 2017
Arrived in good time and well packaged. This is a hefty sized book & will take my son some time to get through it. The content layout seems clear and has reviews to confirm learning has taken place at the end of each chapter. The down side is that it is in black & white, some colour images would have been better.

Good product, it would be the best if all topics like Maya Dynamics also included.
