Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
3D Studio Max for Windows 95 and Windows NT, the high-end 3-D modeling and animation package from Kinetix, is as complex as it is powerful. This guide, the second of three volumes for accomplished 3D Studio Max users, focuses on helping you create architectural, engineering, and character models and design models for VR (virtual reality) and the Web. The authors devote much attention to acquiring and managing material maps and creating natural, man-made, special effects, and animated materials. You get plenty of step-by-step instruction along with four-color illustrations of the project files. A CD-ROM includes sample files and utilities.

Great book for Advanced users,
By A Customer
This review is from: Inside 3d Studio Max: Advanced Modeling and Materials (v. 2) (Paperback)
A great concept book, I do recommend that you read and practice first using your own tutorials that came with the program. I would buy the rest of the books. If you want to be experienced in this field, don't complain, read everything.

Let-down,
By A Customer
This review is from: Inside 3d Studio Max: Advanced Modeling and Materials (v. 2) (Paperback)
I can't understand why other people gave this book such a good review. It has one or two good chanpters, but this does not warrant spending $50. The cartoon character and other related chapters look as if they were authored by a playschool class who still have yet to learn to draw. This book seems to have been thrown together in a hurry - I don't think as much time was spent on it as was with Inside Vol #1. Not worth wasting money on
