This book teach you how to make a good character modeling and animation + basic tutor of Character Studio. So, if you looking for character modeling and animation in MAX, better buy other books like Inside series of 3DS MAX R2.5

This book came before MaxR2. why don't you buy other Max R2 or R2.5 books? it's waste of money!

This book spends 3/4 of the time talking about anatomy instead about how to use Character Studio. It is so out of date that almost all the tutorials on the CD Rom do not work right and some things are missing. The last thing you need is more headaches when its your first time learning a new program. Also there is no teck support or updates except a www to the publisher. Don't waste your money!

It is a 5 stars book, but is a little outdated now.

While this book was written before realease 2 it still useful. The techniques discussed still work. The chapters on animal anatomy and movement are invaluable and can be applied to many other 3d programs as well. The book is a little outdated but anyone with half a brain can still make work for release 2, or any other 3d program for that matter. If you are a character animator this book is a must, regardless of the software you use.

This book probably came before MaxR2. Why they're still selling it I don't know. You'd be better off doing the tutorials that come with Character Studio than buying this one.

It has arrived today 27 march 2010. Was demanded: february 6 2010. IT LACKS THE DVD, and has come well sealed.
Even though so, I begin to read and study it and I can perceive that is very good Book.

If you don't like this book it's because you dont know what your doing.It comes chock full of models and taught me how to really use Bones Pro.
