Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

The book teaches new and experienced designers the theory, principles and techniques for creating three-dimensional still images and animation which can be used as is or integrated into other 2D and multimedia software packages. Although the book stresses the understanding of concepts and methods that can be used with any 3D illustration package, it demonstrates the implementation of these techniques using one successful package, Infini-D, a version of which is included on the accompanying CD-ROM.
