Reviews
"David's book is an excellent learning tool and reference for novice and veteran Maya developers alike. Maya developers can become more
productive with MEL and the Maya API by applying what they learn from this book." ?Tracy Narine, Maya API Technical Lead, Alias
"David
Gould is an expert at using, programming, and teaching Maya, and it shows. People who need to program Maya will find this book essential.
Even Maya users who don't intend to do extensive programming should read this book for a better understanding of what's going on under
the hood. Compact yet thorough, it covers both MEL and the C++ API, and is written to be informative for both novice and expert programmers.
Highly recommended!" ?Larry Gritz, Exluna/NVIDIA, co-author of Advanced RenderMan
"This book should be required
reading for all Maya programmers, novice and expert alike. For the novice, it provides a thorough and wonderfully well thought-out hands-on
tutorial and introduction to Maya. The book's greatest contribution, however, is that in it David shares his deep understanding of Maya's
fundamental concepts and architecture, so that even the expert can learn to more effectively exploit Maya's rich and powerful programming
interfaces." ?Philip J. Schneider, Disney Feature Animation, co-author of Geometric Tools for Computer Graphics
"Having provided a technical review of David Gould's Complete Maya Programming, I must say that this book is the definitive
text for scripting and plug-in development for Maya. Never before has there been such a concise and clearly written guide to programming
for Maya. Any user smart enough to pick up this book would be better off for it." ?Chris Rock, technical director at "a Large Animation
Studio in Northern California"
"If you ever wanted to open the Maya toolbox, this is your guide. With clear step-by-step instructions,
you will soon be able to customize and improve the application, as well as create your own extensions, either through the MEL scripting
language or the full C++ API." ?Christophe Hery, Industrial Light & Magic
