Your one-stop guide to creating mind-blowing visual effects in Autodesk Maya. Full-color, step-by-step tutorials detail industry-staple visual effects techniques such as fur and hair growth, fire and water simulation, soft and hard body dynamics, cloth construction, and so much more. Maya guru Lee Lanier starts you off with the basics and then moves into more advanced tehcniques such as creature animation, patch modeling, effects scripting, render pass set-up, and others. The companion website features a treasure trove of project files, image sequences, texture bitmaps, and model FBXs, allowing you to immediately apply the techniques learned in the book.

Absolutely Fantastic

This was my first time ordering from SciFier but it definitely won't be my last. When it comes to buying books online the packaging needs to be good, SciFier were great they used bubble wrap to make sure they arrived perfect. Amazing range of books that majority are lower priced than most book retailers. Wonderful service, I'll definitely be recommending to everyone. Thank you.

Great delivery to EU, no issues with customs. Very good packaging. A nice selection of manga and, so far, the best prices I could find :)

Great as always

Same old, same old. Amazing experience, great packaging, shipping was faster since it was a bit smaller and check out was smooth as butter. I have now put myself on a buy allowance because I cannot be trusted lol.
