5.0 out of 5 stars Superb device, October 1, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Understanding Three Dimensions (Paperback)
This book really got me on my feet with the whole "three dimensions" thing. Before reading this swashbuckling tale, I feel my life existed in only 2 dimensions. It took this masterpiece for me to realize that my view of the world was horribly obscured B.U.T.D. (Before Understanding Three Dimensions). This is a life altering work of brilliance, form first dimension to third.

5.0 out of 5 stars great text, May 15, 2007
This review is from: Understanding Three Dimensions (Paperback)
This is a great book. Very clear and basic. Exactly what 3D design students need. HOWEVER, it is way too pricy. AND desperately needs a new edition updated with color pictures and more current art work.
