    dont know of any good books for the autodesk suite, but the included tutorials are pretty helpful to get started. once you have finished those, my teachers always told me to just model something you see every day.

    Hi mijle2003,
    I am also a big fan of Autodesk products and I am currently using Maya2012. Some of the best books I have read with step-by-step instruction on how to use the advance features of Autodesk are written by Dariush Derakhshani! I'm a huge fan of his work. Follow this link to see some of his books he has put out on Autodesk products:

    Hope that helps you Mijle ;)

    Always~
    Vickie ;)
