Recenzii

[Osborn] has over 10 years' experience in various disciplines of animated film-making ... [and] his experience is clearly evident in his writing style and breezy manner as he explains the processes involved. A particular highlight of the book are the interviews that the author has conducted with a number of professional animators ... [and the] added bonus of a companion website ... I really enjoyed the book.
. you don't need to be a Maya pro to get a lot from the book; indeed, the advice presented here can be application to most CG animation software, but when it does touch on specifics . it's done so in a clean and informed way . It's in the more general insights and animation techniques where the book comes alive, backed by some great examples and interviews as Keith ropes in industry friends such as Matt Williams (The Princess and the Frog), Ricardo Jost Resende (Nut Job) and Jason Figliozzi (Wreck-it-Ralph) to bolster the wealth of advice.
A much-needed, fantastic new book that teaches techniques, tips, and tricks of cartoony animation in Maya. A must-have for all aspiring computer animators.
The structure is clear and features easily digestible information with current and relevant examples. This fun book will provide a practical tips-and-tricks guide to applying 2D cartoony animation techniques in 3D (Maya).
A great animation resource with pro tips one usually can only learn from experience.
Reading this book by Animation Mentor Keith Osborn is like listening to a friend who has mastered an important secret through hard graft and really wants to save you the trouble. If you want to learn the secrets to great character animation then this book should be at the top of your list even if you don't use Maya.
This book should be set atop of Richard Williams' Animator's Survival Kit next to every Maya animator's workstation.
[Cartoon Character Animation with Maya is] well written and includes color photos from current animated features, which Osborn uses to explain different concepts from planning shots to designing readable poses. . I definitely could have used this book when I was first working in Maya.
