5.0 out of 5 stars Exellent, 20 Feb 2007
This quality book is for anyone who; wants to get a good grasp of how CG is done, wants to find an entry point into the seemingly complex world of CG. It can be read straight through, or used as a reference. There are many practical exercises, with an accompaning DVD.

One point to note, this book almost exclusively deals with SHAKE, and comes with a 30 day trial version. It is amusingly written, and richly illustrated, as usual with books from this publisher. No, the author is not a friend!!
