In Silico introduces Maya programming into one of the most
fascinating application areas of 3D graphics: biological
visualization. In five building-block tutorials, this book prepares
animators to work with visualization problems in cell biology. The
book assumes no deep knowledge of cell biology nor 3D graphics
programming. An accompanying DVD-ROM includes code derived from the
tutorials, the working Maya computer files, and sample animated
movies. The interior of the book contains generous Maya screen
captures, tables, and flowcharts to compliment the instruction and
tutorials. Full 4 color illustrations rendered from the authors'
working files illustrate the capacity to produce striking pictures
from the rendered models being created. Throughout the text, key
words are set in bold type and subsequently defined in a glossary.
Page margin tips and tricks compliment the adjacent copy, and icons
direct the reader to specific references within the Maya Help
library. The visualizations in the book are stunning examples of
the state of the art.
