The author does a great job of breaking down and explaining every aspect of creating cartoon style animation, but even those animators interested and engaged in creating "realistic" animation will benefit greatly as well.The author writes very well to his intended audience which are animators who have experience with Maya, but aren't master users in the area of character animators. He doesn't get bogged down explaining basic Maya info, but he does cover such info adequately.More importantly, he makes an extraordinarily solid connection between planning and executing this type of over the top animation and does it in a way that is graspable by animators at all levels.Furthermore, the downloadable content is an outstanding addition to the text. It is one thing to see the concept of smears illustrated statically in text (and the author's clear writing style does make it easy to understand), it is quite another to see it applied in the accompanying video!In my opinion, a truly great book! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cartoon Animation, Plain and Simple *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2016* An excellent and informative book on the art of exaggerated animation. This book greatly demystified the process of creating 3D animation for me, and although the included rig and plug-ins are made for Maya specifically, the techniques taught are actually applicable to many other software and even 2D animation in certain cases, since it is essentially aplying the 12 principles of animation to 3D animation. While I obviously got a lot out of this book, however, I should mention that 1) this book is made for over-the-top, cartoonist animation, and wouldn't be of much use to people who work on more realistic animation; and 2) like any other book or tutorial, you have to practice and follow along to actually improve, but I'm sure you already understand that. Overall, a great book that is already improving my animation work flow at college. ### ⭐⭐⭐ The interviews added between the chapters are a nice filler. Keith Osborn described his workflow from step ... *by J***T on Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2015* I was looking forward to this book, unfortunately this turned out to be disappointing. Anyone with a couple of semester from IAnimate or animation mentor under their belt will benefit little. This is a very superficial overview of a complex subject. The interviews added between the chapters are a nice filler. Keith Osborn described his workflow from step to spline, but too little for the non initiated and not enough for the somewhat experience animator. Of note the link to the companion files of the kindle edition is non functional. Furthermore, this text is 10$ cheaper if you order it directly from the publisher in a epub format. Oh well, there is no substitute for practice... --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/19298714-cartoon-character-animation-with-maya-mastering-the-art-of-exaggerated](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/19298714-cartoon-character-animation-with-maya-mastering-the-art-of-exaggerated) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-22*
