Customer Reviews

A Great Book for 3DS Max Dummies like me.

This is a great book for getting started in 3DS Max 5. I am almost finished with it and have found it to be a great help in learning the program. Some areas could be explained perhaps a bit better, but I was able to follow those areas and the rest of the book fairly easily.This book is not for the advanced but is for those with very little experience in the program....like DUMMIES.A great place to start if you want to learn this program.

This should be your first book to learning 3dsmax 5.

This book is a great confidence booster and teaches you the basics so that you can create your own art in 3dsmax 5. It is VERY user friendly and the info is clear and useful. If you want complicated, headache inducing tutorials, search else where. To gain a better understanding of 3dsmax, in plain English, buy this book. Read from cover to cover for best results.* Friendly note to 3D egg-heads: This book does not cover scripting.
