我買了三本作自學，好難話買一本就O.K.
一本藍色底有只恐龍，叫Maya 一網打盡，另一本是3.0但有很多重要教學，叫3D角色動畫通，最近殺多一本黃色底有條飛龍，一百零幾蚊。

Yeha you absorlutely correct , every book got their main focus point of themselves, its so hard to judge. Did anyone have other good suggestion... like the maya3.0 with about 18 books for each section.. good enough of that collection. Opinion pls!!~ : ) thanks!

我睇過下18本那套，原廠menu好似好難明白，中國老翻的圖片很差，
如果台彎版圖片清楚可以考慮o下！:)

Is it the offical menu .... ???
I think the best way to learn Maya is to get the the skills from example , agree ?

How long you have learnt the maya ?:)

我指19本那套是台灣取了版權的中文版3.0menu，但市面上見到好多是大陸的老翻！
我是做Graphic design的，剛剛自學maya不久，以前學過少少lightwave，但現在覺得maya好似合自己用多D！我從來覺得有實例教學好d，最少你睇完都學到那幾招！
以前一直好想學3d，講真句那時好少老翻、cpu和display card都好貴，中文教學書非常少，現在好好多，你的情況又是怎樣，可以交流下。:-)

我自己都系自學架，好鍾意畫畫，又好鍾意3D ，以前見到人地做果D 3D 動畫，成日都覺得："好普通，如果我學，我做得好過夆捸I"
點知，學左之後先至發覺，唔系我想像中咁容易，原來系好花時間，好花心機，唔系你話要做個 model 就做到！同埋你見到個完成品就覺得冇乜點，其實中間花左designer 好多時間test， model ， render 出黎架。
我都系學左冇幾耐，我系先接觸Ulead 出果個 R5 Shade，覺得好容易，好好玩，用左差唔多2個月，我覺得唔系好自己用，因為Modelling 系我最弱一環，但我唔系好習慣用坉舁latform，texture mapping 就好用，因為比較直接，但唔Advance，可能我唔系好識用啦！
後黎，我裝左Maya 我先發現呢個比較適合我，個platform 完全系用黎做3D animantion，我學左大約4 weeks，我而家出呇蛇認識，而且有好多弁鄎Y好實用，例如：Paint Effect，Cloth，好系好好架，由我完全唔識到而家了解個platform 點用，我好有成撲P。
有好多人都驚去學，其實如果你知道個原理，諗多D，會好有幫助。 另一方面，可能我以前中學要畫TD ( techinical darwing ) ，正正系Maya four view window 真實版，所以好快就上手啦！
我覺得一定要自己肯去花時間，專心做一樣野，點都做到D野出黎既。 我就買左3本書，三本都系內地出，我覺得好好喎，初學者。

圖片印刷不算很好,與大陸版差不多.

you meant the 19 books set of MAYA ? you bought it ? how much is it ? useful ?

i thinkthe most difficult part for newbies is the modelling part with surface modelling, but I can tell you the difficulty of using surface modelling in Maya was not the most one, Euclid and Design Studio are even more difficult! If you can master the surface modelling in Maya, you can transfer those technique to another software easily, but I think having the skill of technical drawing and structural drawing is a merit!

大陸出版那套手冊唔系翻版呀老兄，中青出版社出版，你有冇攪錯呀？你唔好亂講呀，他們在國內有幾千萬讀者。
翻譯得那麼差，是因為譯者不是Maya認證合資格人仕，但是國內很多高手都是這樣培養出來，內地書都抱有抵買和隨處都買到的好處，例如新火星人系列、小魔神、清華大學出版社的書啦，有本電子工業出版：利用Maya創健數字特效動畫，是講Mel和experssion的，都比較值得買來參考，我想以後應該好D啦！
