4.0 out of 5 stars Great Start for Learning Modelling, June 7, 2006

By	Kumar Galavya Purohit "kgpurohit" (India) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Well This is a book devoted to modelling in 3DS Max , I am an animator and wanted to know a bit more about modelling and this book is the best there is...I would had given it 5 stars , but it dosent include character modelling techniques , I think a search on the net will give you lots of tutorials on that. This book is about something which I didnt found on the net and thats Design Visulization Modelling , and modelling inorganic things. The book also features a detailed chapter on radiosity as well and tells you how best to use the newer tools avaliable in max.
