5.0 out of 5 stars Complete course in a book-a great value, February 5, 2005
By 
Allan A (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 3ds max 7 Fundamentals and Beyond Courseware (Discreet 3ds Max) (Paperback)
This is a complete (at 800 pages, I do mean complete) introduction to 3ds max 7 that doesn't assume you know it all. The tutorials walk you through the all the steps painlessly, and it's loaded with clear screenshots so you know what to do what and when. The steps are all clearly integrated with the CD.

I haven't made it to anywhere near the end yet, but by the time I do I think I'll be at a solid intermediate level.

This review is from: 3ds max 7 Fundamentals and Beyond Courseware (Discreet 3ds Max) (Paperback)
Has everything a beginner to 3d modeling would need, and comes with a tutorial CD. takes you step by step and explains what all the buttons mean. I recommend.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I was hoping for..., February 10, 2005
By 
Rick Rodriguez (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 3ds max 7 Fundamentals and Beyond Courseware (Discreet 3ds Max) (Paperback)
After going through the excellent tutorials that accompany 3DS Max 7, I was hoping this book would be equally helpful and take me to the next level. Unfortunately, this isn't the case. The tutorials are very basic and the projects uninspired.
