I would like to get a bit beter with maya and since I spend quite some time in the train between home and university, I would like to use a book.


I heard good things about the mastering maya series but I have two questions with this: Since they get released annually, should I go for the latest book or is there something else to consider? The other question is if this series fits my current leve. I think a to basic book would be a waste of time but I also don't want to stumble across some unknown terms I don't know. So I think the book should start on a low level but I am fine when it speeds up soon.

Here is a model I worked on, so you know what I already can do. This maybe seems quite complex for the start but it took me some time and most shapes here are also quite basic.

That's it. I hope I didn't missed anything.

Thanks in advance!
