Good reference
Good reference if you know enough about Maya to spot the discrepancies. Some of the tutorials are also buggy in Maya 8.

Good but
it has a very bad explation of how alpha in file textures work. In fact one example that showed how to connect "alpha" was actually using black for transparency. Other wise the info is a good foundation. Hope the Maya 8 Version is better.

great rendering and dynamics for maya7
A great book for beginners of maya7. It is basicaly the "Rendering" and "Dynamics" books of the Learning Maya6 Book Series all in one. There are over 600 pgs of color diagrams and simple text discriptions. It is very clear and covers many very important aspects of image quality. Unfortunately for me, I already have the Learning Maya6 Book series so there is a lot of redundant information. Though there is enough new info to keep me happy.

The best it gets!
These books are a spectacular edition. Alias has been good about teaching in their books, but these books actually have FUN projects! I have enough books that will tell me how to do something (and these are VERY easy to understand) but the only ones that I can actually have fun working with are the ones contained in this new series. Not for the advanced user though. If you want advanced, go for the Maya Tecniques series, not the Learning Maya series. Great books!
