About as Complete as you could Ask

This huge 1255 page book is truly Bible sized as is needed to describe such a massive software system. By any standard ‘max’ is massive. It is, of course, a graphics software package capable of the most advanced graphical images. Books on software systems have to balance between being a reference book with a structure that makes it easy to find what you seek. Or the book can be a tutorial that leads the reader along a path intended to get him using the software quickly. This book draws an interesting balance between the two. There is basically a reference book structure, but imposed within it are numerous tutorials on building particular images. This approach works well for me, when I'm looking for something specific, lighting for instance, I can find it. Or, if it's a brand new subject the tutorials lead through getting started to produce something useful. Then the reference like descriptions lead on to the more specific details needed for the particular project. This is the fourth edition of this book. This has given the author time to work out the details the way he wants them, to take into account comments made on the previous editions requesting more information about specific points, and of course to completely cover the new features in ‘max 6’.

Book fairly represent the title

I've been looking for the book that contains full information about this program and i think i've found it. this book is NOT for people who didnt work on 3DS MAX 6 befor because it doesnt mention the basic concipts. How ever, this book claims the best out of me and i finally found the right resource.

Bible for SURE!!

This is one the best 3dsmax books, I have bought so far. It is well written ,and covers almost all you need to know about this masterpiece software's interface and functionality. I must mention that this book is not for advance users but it could still be used as a good reference. I like the idea of including the pdf version of this book on the accompanied CD, which I can have on my system too.

Has anyone gotten this book yet?

I have had the previous versions, and it is the best. (...)Anyway, the book is awesome - I have only read into the first few chapters, but I have learnt so much already. I will update the review once I get to read more. The PDF version of the book included rocks - contains full color screenshots. I just wish a CHM version of the book was also made available.
