DVD | DVD | Correction to DVD content: misidentified video file In the Introductory video on the DVD (filename DVD_introduction) a reference is made to a video called "boxman_redo.mov". The actual filename given to that video is "boxman_process.mov" and it can be found in the file boxman_process.zip with the Chapter 2 resources on the DVD. |

1 | 17 | Text correction In step 4 under "Building a Sculpt Mesh in Maya," the third sentence, "Select the top face and extrude up twice, ending at the shorter line between lines 8 and 7." contains an error. It should read "...ending at the shorter line between 7 and 6." |

6 | 183 | Correction to Figure 6.8 The figure is mislabeled. The pointer with the label "Great trochanter" actually points to the Anterior superior iliac crest of the pelvis. The Great trochanter should have been labeled in the figure also. It is the eminence on the uppermost part of the femur, pointing away from the joint with the pelvis. |

5 | 168 | Text correction In step 2 under "Sculpting the Lower Arm" the third sentence contains an error. "Sketch in the division between the Trapezius, Brachialis, and these two muscles." should read: "Sketch in the division between the Triceps, Brachialis, and these two muscles." |
