Not the best book to buy for 3D Studio Max, June 26, 2000
This review is from: 3D Studio Max in Motion with CDROM (Textbook Binding)
For the price of the book, you would expect some great tutorials and explanations on 3D Studio Max. However, it skims over many things and tells you to just type in some numbers and draw some lines without explaining why you are doing certain important tasks. It's supposed to be an animation book primarily, but it does not contain that many chapters on animation. In addition, the chapters on modelling with the program are weak in that they show you how to model things that have no use in the real world. Instead of this book, buy Inside 3D Studio Max. It is a huge book that explains a lot more about this complex program for about the same price. Some positives of this book are that shows you how to do some special effects like explosions and rain quickly, and the steps were fairly easy to follow. However, a website would have been helpful for updates to the book.
