Learning Maya, the world's leading 3D animation and effects package, is a challenge, especially for those who want to master Maya's versatile programming features in addition to its built-in tools.

Finally, here is a practical, step-by-step guide that shows how to use Maya to its fullest potential, beginning with the basics. Readers of Complete Maya Programming will first gain a thorough understanding of Maya's inner workings, and then learn how to customize and extend Maya with scripts and plugins that take control and productivity to new levels.

Users new to programming can apply Maya's easy scripting language MEL (Maya Embedded Language), while more advanced users can work with the C++ API (Application Progamming Interface). Both a fundamental tutorial for Maya beginners and a solid reference for experienced developers, Complete Maya Programming is every user's guide to Maya mastery.

* Provides a multitude of real-world examples illustrating applications of Maya programming.
* Demonstrates how to use MEL to control Maya, customize its interface, automate procedures, and more
* Details how to use the C++ API to modify Maya functionality and develop tools and features to meet any need
* Explains when to use MEL, when to use the C++ API, and how to use them together
* Ideal for technical directors, developers, or anyone wishing to to master Maya
* Provides a storehouse of MEL scripts and C++ source code, glossary, and list of resources, available at www.davidgould.com.

Blender is the first and only fully-integrated 3D graphics creation suite allowing modeling, animation, rendering, post-production, and realtime interactive 3D with cross-platform compatibility--all for free. Originally developed by Not a Number (NaN) as a commercial product, Blender has since been released as free software, with the sources available under GNU GPL. The Official Blender 2.3 Guide is an introduction to the sometimes complicated Blender interface and a complete guide to everything that Blender can do. Written by the designers who created and currently maintain Blender, the book covers methods of designing models, materials, and light; rendering 3D scenes; creating 3D animations; as well as advanced topics such as using Blender as a video editor. Includes a 4-color insert and a CD-ROM containing Blender for all platforms. .

DirectX 9, a brand-new version of Microsoft's multimedia libraries, features the latest 3D graphics technology in the form of Direct3D 9. Direct3D Programming will cover everything a C++ programmer needs to know in order to use Direct3D 9 to create interactive 3D worlds. The book begins with an overview of basic Windows and 3D programming techniques and works its way through the library, starting with getting Direct3D up-and-running all the way to more advanced topics such as textures, lighting, and fog. All concepts and programming techniques are demonstrated in example programs that the reader can build himself using detailed step-by-step instructions.

Vertex and pixel shader programming allows graphics and game developers to create photorealistic graphics on the personal computer for the first time. And with DirectX, programmers have access to an assembly language interface to the transformation and lighting hardware (vertex shaders) and the pixel pipeline (pixel shaders). Direct3D ShaderX begins with an introduction to vertex and pixel shader programming and moves on to a wide array of specialized shader tricks contributed by 27 experts in game and graphics programming. These range from character animation and lighting to photorealistic faces and non-photorealistic rendering. Special effects shaders are also presented, including those for such effects as bubbles, rippling water, animated grass, and particle flows..

Is this reality an illusion? What is the connection between our consciousness and our body? Are we really part of everything? If so, what is our relationship to it all? Can we interrelate with beings in other dimensional realities? Can we travel in time to other places, experience events in history, or our future? Sure we can! How do we manifest what we want? Can we change our lives by creating a reality different from the one we know? How? How do miracles happen? Can we really produce them? How does our soul enter our body? When? What happens when we die and where do we really go, or is this life all there is? Recognize the simplicity of all creation as step by step; Dr. Blackburn Losey answers these questions and more by weaving a straightforward yet comprehensive account of the universal construct, its relationship with sacred geometry, the manifestation of matter, consciousness and the harmonic relationship of all things beyond quantum physics from the essence and fabric of creation to this here and now. Understand how to tap in to the Akashic records, the universal consciousness, to access any and all information you desire! Realize how you can experience unlimited realities through easy and fun exercises that assist you to leap from third dimensional reality to existing as multi-dimensional beings. Learn how to apply these techniques to create unlimited possibilities within your life and the lives of others! You are the creator that you seek!.

Authored by leading scholars, this comprehensive, self-contained text presents a view of the state of the art in multi-dimensional hyperbolic partial differential equations, with a particular emphasis on problems in which modern tools of analysis have proved useful. Ordered in sections of gradually increasing degrees of difficulty, the text first covers linear Cauchy problems and linear initial boundary value problems, before moving on to nonlinear problems, including shock waves. The book finishes with a discussion of the application of hyperbolic PDEs to gas dynamics, culminating with the shock wave analysis for real fluids.
With an extensive bibliography including classical and recent papers both in PDE analysis and in applications (mainly to gas dynamics), this text will be valuable to graduates and researchers in both hyperbolic PDEs and compressible fluid dynamics..
