actually, i only wrote four of them: Maya 3, Maya 4 Sketches, Maya 7 Die Referenz – all three in german. plus the “sketches” book, which i translated into english for peachpit press: Exploring Maya 4: 30 Studies in 3D.

Maya 3, published by addison wesley, took me 3 months, often day and night, to write. it was the first german book on maya. the publisher sold thousands of copies. the sketches book was written in less than 4 weeks and translated into polish, russian and spanish. die referenz, where i translated about 1000 commands in maya from english into german, was a bit tedious, but worth while. all books are long passé.

oh, → maya? once the leading 3D computer animation software.
