Advice: Maya Character Animation DVD? Do I really need it?

[dlangdev]

Hi,

I've somehow convinced myself I really need to get this DVD in order to learn real character animation in Maya.

My mind is now totally made-up now, but before the fool and his money parts, I have to ask you a simple question.

Do I really need this DVD to get to the next level of character animation?

My answer to that is a resounding YES, why?

1) I'm developing a Tekken-style game.
2) A game like that would mean superb hi-quality movements.
3) The DVD cover the details on how to make those cool movements.

See the webpage for details...

a) you have maya purchased. Then yup, go for it. Or you can access it as this is a school project. Go for it. Maya is great for character animaiton.

b) Don't have maya. Go blender route. There's a book you can buy at the blender.org shop, dedicated to character animation, that I have quite more than a sensation that is really good. If u've seen big buck bunny open movie, you'll see blender is way more thna enough for that project.
