4.0 out of 5 stars My 16 yr old likes it, January 7, 2008
By Mom in TX (TX United States) - See all my reviews
I bought this for my 16 yr old who is interested in game art. He is excited that he has already finished the first task in the book and is thinking about what he's going to do with the next few chapters.
The only problem with the book is the CD that comes with it has the old version of the student 3D program on it and we couldn't get a registration key from the website for the older version. We ended up loading the newer version free from the webite, which is great, but some of the button references are different in the new program than how they are explained in the book. He's cool with it and has figured out how to find what he needs. He says the book is very informative and has helped him to understand the 3D art a lot better and he can already see in games how some of the things are put together.
This book has been a good buy for us and a good investment in keeping our son interested in learning more about game art.

5.0 out of 5 stars What an excellent book, February 4, 2005
I really rate this book, i am a professional game developer and trainer and i just think this book is amazing. It is really good quality, the explanations are clear and it covers all the necessary material as it should be.
It is an excellent Maya set of tutorials and is cheap and in full color ( some of the pics are a little small, slight complaint)

Only real gripe is that the title is wrong, i would have like to have seen some of the art brought into a game engine. But will give it 5 stars anyway as i like it so much
