5.0 out of 5 stars animators' bible!, 31 Jul 1999

5.0 out of 5 stars Clearly, accurately covered concepts--without jargon, 30 Jul 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Principles of Three-dimensional Computer Animation: Modeling, Rendering and Animating with 3D Computer Graphics (Norton Books for Architects & Designers) (Hardcover)
I found "Three-Dimensional Computer Animation" to be a particularly clearly written and clearly illustrated book, especially given the complexity of this field. The book covers the chief concepts in 3D modeling, rendering and animation and provides detailed technical explanations rare in books for artists and designers. Amazingly, O'Rourke does this without relying on jargon or assuming a scientific or mathematical background (or writing an inconveniently long book). Artists and designers working in 3D will find this a valuable resource as they seek to better understand the potential of 3D graphics and to master this new and often demanding medium. "Three-Dimensional Computer Animation" is appropriate for classroom use and also as a guide and reference for working artists, designers, and animators.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific guide for current and future 3D animators., 8 Jul 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Principles of Three-dimensional Computer Animation: Modeling, Rendering and Animating with 3D Computer Graphics (Norton Books for Architects & Designers) (Hardcover)
Michael O'Rourke's book, Principles of Three Dimensional Computer Animation, is a great asset for beginner and advanced 3D animators. Throughout my graduate studies, as a 3D animator, I've read many 3D manuals. None compare to O'Rourke's coherent writing style and updated animation/modeling/rendering procedures.
