Book Description

November 10, 2005
This book familiarizes both novice and experienced 3D artists with the process and capabilities of the ADT/VIZr tool set. Instead of getting bogged down with lengthy feature descriptions, the book focuses squarely on the process of developing projects with ADT and VIZr. Readers will learn how to use each tool to its maximum benefit, as well as why it is important to the overall process. Included in every chapter is a common project scenario that showcases how designs can be brought to life with stunning rendered images, followed by details of the process that are necessary to achieving those results. Packed with tips, tricks and procedures along the way, this book will have readers producing high quality results with software they already own, in no time at all!

4.0 out of 5 stars easy to learn, December 4, 2007
This review is from: Mastering Autodesk Viz Render 2006: A Resource For Autodesk Architecural Desktop Users (Paperback)
As much as possible, the authors show how Autodesk Viz Render can be used with the minimum amount of technical fuss. So an architectural student can aspire to view and create buildings as easily as possible. The learning curve should not be steep, if you are already acquainted with architectural concepts.

Autodesk Viz Render has many, many options that are geared towards this goal. The book doesn't claim an exhaustive treatment. But it shows examples of how to make custom structural members, in terms of designing the shape or style of these elements.

The rendering is also easy to learn. Letting you see a "finished" part or even an entire building, under various lighting conditions. You can render different camera views
