DESCRIPTION:
Michael Todd Peterson is an experienced writer and 3ds max user, and the breadth and depth of his experience shows in this book. For anyone climbing 3ds max 4's learning curve, this is probably one of the better books available. The author's easy style, the use of screenshots, and the rich material on the CD make this book a valuable asset to any Max user. --Mike Caputo. The last third of the book is all about animation: an introduction to animation, using Track View, character animation, and special-effects animation using particles, space warps, and more.

Excellent for beginners Corey W Jaeckel I have read many a 3DS MAX book. -- Well I have tried to read many that is. -- Believe me I have tried off and on for a year or so now. --- This book *truly* is a beginners book that will start you off on the ground level and have you doing things very quickly that are fun. -- I learned more with 3 hours and this book in front of MAX than I had in 3 weeks prior just because this book has a good fo
The first in our new Ground Rules series, this book paves the way to mastery of 3ds max Release 4 basics - that is, the "ground rules" - by inviting readers to work through thoughtfully crafted examples, exercises, and tutorials for this powerful design and animation tool.
