3d Studio &Hollywood Gaming Effects, October 29, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: 3D Studio Hollywood & Gaming Effects (Paperback)
First of all, I want to say that I'm from Sweden, so please be indulgence with my language. I've read the magnificant book of 3d Studio & Hollywood Gaming Effects. I used both 3d Studio and 3D max for the tutorials, and I was quite impressed. The book is based on examples and tutorials, made by pros'. The examples in the book are very detailed, and are understandble, even for an amateur like me. And the best thing is that, if you dont understand what they're talking about, just put in the CD-Rom (that comes with the book) find the chapter for the example, and run it. There you have it, step by step, all the exaples in the book on the CD-Rom are explained on the CD-Rom too. A book for both amateurs and proffesionals, that increase the flexibilaty you need to become a graphic artist. And even if you're using 3d Max, the examples in the book - and on the CD-Rom - works properly. Since Max and Studio are based on the same system. The examples in the books are well illustrated, and the layout makes it very easy to find and read. You learn new things every time you browse through the book. And just by watching the exapmles on the CD-Rom, you can load a project - and go through it - see for your self how it's build. And in that way learn some useful hints & tricks. A low cost educational book, that you can get useful hints & tricks from, that you cant get from anywhere else. As I said, my English is bad. I sometimes can't find a way to express my feelings in words. But it is a good book. I rated the book with a 9. Now that, is self explained. Happy rendering, Your Friend In The Jungle Of 3D.

3D Effects For The Experts By The Experts, June 3, 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: 3D Studio Hollywood & Gaming Effects (Paperback)
When I first picked this book up I was expecting it to
be another book on teaching the beginner how to do simple
effects. I could never have been so wrong. Starting at
an advanced level, the book assumes you not only have
lots of experience with 3D Studio, but some additional
software tools as well. Then, it shows you, in detail,
how to create certain effects, all of which can be easily
adapted to your scenes. Some of the effects include overlaying
your animation with video so that it 'fits' together, or
extended use of 'Bones Pro' and 'MetaBall Modelers'(which
are plug-ins for 3D Studio) to create organic models.
For beginners, I recommend "3D Studio Special Effects/Book and Cd Rom"
while this book is more for users with a solid grip on
3D Studio.

This is a good book..., September 3, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: 3D Studio Hollywood & Gaming Effects (Paperback)
But you need to have a few comercial plug-ins and this means spend money, instead of this you can learn many tricks other people learn with experience and time. I really don't know if the book isn't good enoght or 3D Studio is very incomplete, filling the holes with expensive IPAS.
