(Real) Game Character Modeling

First off let me say this, many people who rated this book were really to Noob to rate it right. If you want to get the most out of this book you should be familiar with Maya fundamentals, mainly what the essential tools do and how to create and shape objects. Even though the character is a little dorky looking, this will really teach you how to model game characters in Maya. It contains a very indepth explanation of weighting the character, something you really need to know how to do. If your a beginner and can't really navigate through Maya then you should wait until then to purchase this book.. One thing to remember, proper modeling is not and never will be easy, if you understand that and are willing to put in time you will do fine with this book......
