I'd never used Max before and I found this book very good as a get you up and going thingy. It was very clear and concise with all stages of the relevant procedure clearly explained.

not the best book,,, just the best i found so far
2 July 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
the fact that the book is in black and white is a real problem.. it is hard to follow the tutorials that tell you to click on a particular point and you can't quite tell what point they are talking about. Tutorials themselves (if you can get past the B&W problem) are good -- at least until around lesson 16 and 17 where it seems like the author or editor got in a hurry and started missing steps.. at least thats what it seems to me since I couldnt get thru those particular tutorials. But, that said, this book has been a better introduction to me to Max than the Bible series which really threw me some loops. Overall, it just seems that Max doesnt have very many good learning books.

Good Book but it does need color
1 Jun 2010
Format:Kindle Edition
this book is great for beginners like me and it touches on all the fundementals of a very complex program(and I thought Flash CS4 was complex to learn). My only real displeasure with this book is that it does not have color in the pages so when there is a part of the image that is highlighted, you cant see it or distinguish it against other elements surrounding it. This does make it very confusing at times, but never the less you catch on to the main focus of the lesson. I tried to look for other books on the basics of 3Ds Max but this was the better of them all.

Good but could be better

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm currently half way through this book and have learned a lot. One of my complaints is that they do not inlude color pictures of the examples they give you. It is hard sometimes to see what it is they are talking about because you cannot tell what is highlighted in the black and white pictures. On some pictures it has the text saying "Insert Ex14_09.png" left over on the picture. On some examples I could not replicate exactly what they were doing, I'm not sure if the workflow was correct or if some minor detail was left out of the book by mistake. If your new to 3ds Max this is a good start. I plan on tackling Mastering 3ds Max next.
