Product Description
Synopsis
Written by one of the computer game industry's leading character modellers and animators, this book will have instant recognition as one of the most definitive treatments using 3DS Max to make real-time character content for games. The title is ideally suited for would-be modellers and animators, but professionals experienced with 3DS Max will find the title appropriate because of the many previously undocumented tips and tricks specifically for advanced character creation in 3DS Max. Steed provides detailed coverage of all aspects of creating characters like those seen in Quake III: Arena. The book provides insight into the game industry through anecdotal and informative sidebars. Usable sample meshes are included in both the book and CD.

Excellent Book - Very Helpful!,

This review is from: Modeling a Character in 3DS Max (Paperback)
After fiddling around with 3ds Max 5 for a couple of months, with the aim of building my very own UT2003 character i had very limited success (well no success really!) enter Paul Steed....This book and its conversational, anecdotal style sky-rocketed my knowledge in a matter of days! From being an absolute beginner at character modelling i now find myself pondering the complexities of improving the definition of my characters gluteus maximus!!! the book has tons of pictures (B&W and some a little difficult to see clearly - only MINOR gripe) and it WILL help beginners. forget printing pages and pages of net tutorials just buy this book, you will not look back. I cannot recommend this book highly enough, it has exponentially increased my confidence and ability in all areas of max5, and i'm well on my way to my own UT2003 character!

Excellent!,
This review is from: Modeling a Character in 3DS Max (Paperback)
Ok, I've been waiting for a book of this kind for a long time. i started low polygon modelling a while back relying on online tutorials and such. Finally Paul's book was released over here in the UK and i must say it is the bible of character design using 3d studio max or any other application. Opening the book i discovered that not only does Paul show how to construct the model but show's preperation techniques, texture mapping etc. Everyone can learn so much from this book, optimizing, poly reduction and how to adapt the techniques for other model ideas. Great stuff. Can't wait for his next book, lets get these characters animated........

The good, the bad and the ugly,
This review is from: Modeling a Character in 3DS Max (Paperback)
The book seemed soley based for the beginners of 3D Studio Max. It goes into depth into character modelling, and theres a few new techniques that i picked up to improve my modelling skills.The Problem i had with the book is that there was only one mesh to do. it didn't go into the organic side of modelling and to my surprise there wasn't a section on animating your final character.
