Not the best book to buy for 3D Studio Max
For the price of the book, you would expect some great tutorials and explanations on 3D Studio Max.However, it skims over many things and tells you to just type in some numbers and draw some lines withoutexplaining why you are doing certain important tasks.It's supposed to bean animation book primarily, but it does not contain that many chapters onanimation.In addition, the chapters on modelling with the program areweak in that they show you how to model things that have no use in the realworld.Instead of this book, buy Inside 3D Studio Max.It is a huge bookthat explains a lot more about this complex program for about the sameprice.Some positives of this book are that shows you how to do somespecial effects like explosions and rain quickly, and the steps were fairlyeasy to follow.However, a website would have been helpful for updates tothe book. ...

Great for learn and MASTER 3DS Max!!!
I'm from Mexico, and bought this book to learn this incredible program, but I soon discover not only the basics in this text but a hole comprehensible information about ALL the stuff in the program!! I widely reccomend it and not only for the 3DS Max version 3 but for 4, 5 and 6.

You'll need to know complex spanish and association
This book is okay, if you know your spanish well enough to translate and associate it with the english used in the program. The book is all spanish including the illustration which I found to be a downside since the program is in english. The cd included is nice, but it does not show you how the object is created. In all it is a good reference book if you already know how to use the program and just want to brush up on details. ... Read more

Very easy tutorials
Outdated book. It was a 4 stars book back in 1996's. A great place to start
All I knew was that I wanted to be a animator.This book helped me understand the basics (where what was and what it did) it doesn't go into incredible detail but does teach you how to acheive an effect. I would notrecommend this book to someone who knows what lofting, mesh warps, nurbs,uvw mapping, or kinetics are.If what I just wrote to you is like greekbuy this book if you can say sure thats easy avoid this one.

Average at best
I didn't know much about 3D Studio Max, but I did know a lot about graphics. I found the first tutorial pretty helpful, but from there I thought it was kind of boring. ... Read more
