 good idea but insuficient development November 8, 2008
I think the idea of a visual guide to cheats, hints and techniques was excellent, but, I was disappointed by the oversimplified approach to a very complex subject. 3DS MAX is a very difficult professional program with many layers of complexity. Generally it is not possible to just do steps A, B or C with out considering the consequences and what happens to X, Y or Z. This book fails to address this.
I did learn few things from this book, but very few. If you are anything but a total beginner many explanations will quickly become obvious and unnecessary. My opinion is that too often, the book lacks enough depth to consider it a useful learning tool.
Good but the support promised doesn't exist and the training files don't open November 5, 2008
Brilliant book, well laid out and covering a lot of stuff but could do with a little more explanation.
I'm cross about the CD as the .3ds training files do not open. Whatever I try I just get "there was an error opening the file".
The book also promises a support forum at the website and there isn't anything of the sort or any way to contact anyone about the problems with the CD files.
I don't want to give it a bad review because it's a really excellent attempt at teaching a horribly difficult program, but the lack of promised support and CD .3ds files not opening left me bogged down and disappointed fairly quickly.
 Good book bad support... October 11, 2008
I've pre-ordered this book and awaited patiently for it. When I got it I read it and did some or most of the tutorials. And they're great! The book explains (very) visually some tips and tricks of the trade and I already applied them to my personal projects! I can only praise the book in that... but... one of the tutorials is missing some texture maps (on the cd) so I started sending e-mails... without response... the so-called "support website"... is nothing more then an advertisement site about the book...
So if you want a very cool and insightfull book this is a good buy BUT don't expect a great support or the acess to those missing files or extra videos they promised that will exist in the "support website"
