Demonstates and explains the entire process of bringing a film quality character (a troll-like creature called "Leon") to life inside Maya 6.0 from clay maquette to finished animation rig. In the first DVD, the process and tools of sculpting the clay maquette are covered. The second DVD is a DVD-ROM containing scene files, PDFs, training videos and scripts. The videos cover how to texture Leon's body using Maya and Photoshop, set up facial features, rig Leon's entire body so that it moves realistically, and extra topics, including an introduction to MEL (Maya Embedded Language), pickwalking, and using CG Toolkit's rig tools. Finally, the third disc, also a DVD-ROM, contains videos covering MuscleTK, including building arm and chest/back muscles, and skinning after the muscles are set up. Additional videos discuss resurfacing Leon from a scanned mesh and skinning.
