Product Description

Review
"3D for the Web looks at 3D animation using 3ds Max, Flash, and Director - the core building tools of any serious 3D web object. It's a practical guide to the basics but has enough to inspire you on to greater projects. An excellent disc accompanies it." -.Net, Bath, EN

"There are plenty of books out there on 3D design, but few really get into the nitty gritty of transferring 3D art to the web." -.Net, Bath, EN

Product Description
Make sure you benefit from the explosion of new and exciting applications designed to let you create 3D animation for the web. See how you can use the power of 3ds max, Flash and Director to make your 3D fame or project a reality for the internet as well as learning generic skills allowing you to use many applications.

Ideal if you are a web designer with little or no 3D experience and need an overview of how 3D could transform your work and how best to put it online, or if you are a 3D animator wanting to produce work for the web and need a guide to which applications to use.

Insteadof being bogged down in code, this user-friendly, highly illustrated book teaches from a practical, technique-orientated stance, with only a minimal amount of code typing needed. Use pre-written code modules to create interactive are, animated characters and commercial websites. Then you can learn the techniques needed to make your own 3D games.

Each chapter contains tutorials which you can do yourself, using the files on the free CD included with the book. Interviews with successful professionals show you what you can aspire to by sharing their tips and tricks as well as details on the pros and cons of each software package.

For extra tips, information and help visit www.3dfortheweb.info

* Learn how to successfully translate your 3D work to the web without the need for code
* Get inspiration from professionals at the cutting-edge of 3D web design and games from interviews and examples of their work throughout the book
* Use the tutorials on the free CD to practice your skills and stay ahead of the rest

2.0 out of 5 stars Good for Source Code, Bad for Everything Else, 9 Feb 2009
By Paul F. Collins (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The CD contents is probably the only thing that makes this book worth having. The book does not go through in detail the concepts it talks about, merely briefly discusses them in a general sense, when it really should be going into detail on how it can be applied to Director and Lingo.

In terms of Source, there are some really nice files on there, but again without some sort of documentation those who are beginners will probably not get much out of it, which is a real shame because it covers all the elements most people who want to create 3d games for the web want to know how to acheive with Director.

This book could have been a real useful companion, instead your probably spending money to get the source.
