I'm pleased to announce that I have finished the second edition of Maya Visual Effetcs: The Innovator's Guide and it will be available in mid May. This book contains 24 original tutorials designed to help you use the Maya toolkit in creative and unusual ways with the goal of expanding your understanding of Maya. I made sure the tutorials were written to be fun and at the same time typical of the kind of challenges you might face working on the job at a small studio. I also included a large number of original MEL scripts written by Max Dayan who is a fellow instructor at the Gnomon School of Visual Effects in Hollywood. He also helped me ensure that the tutorials live up to the promise of being innovative. I think this is the book I have written (number 7 for me if you count second and third editions) and I think you'll find a lot of good stuff in it.
Eric, i was a big fan of your first innovator's guide book and i'm super excited to see a 2nd edition with all new tutorials! I'm going to place my order tonight! Keep up the great work dude.
