achieve, and the detailed step-by-step tutorials show exactly how to
achieve them.

Every technique and tip is backed up with practical tutorials, using the
models, student work and

tutorial assets on the companion DVD to offer a crash course in this
vital skill. With Cheryl

Cabrera youll learn about:

Designing your first Biped Character; Creating your first Biped
Character - Modeling Basics,

Biped Character Facial Expressions, Texturing Basics; Skeleton setup for
a Biped Character Joint

Placement; Control Rig setup for a Biped Character - IK and FK; Wrapping
up the setup;

Skinning your Character

* Use simple NURBS and polygon modeling in Maya for greater flexibility
in your workflow
