Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
For any up-and-coming animator searching for ways to make flying logos or animated titles look more professional and polished, the search is over. 3D Studio Max 3 Media Animation is an outstanding book for mid-level artists using Kinetix's powerful animation software for motion graphics and animated logos (although many of the basic principles and techniques can be applied to other software packages).

Full of step-by- step tutorials from examples that are glitzy, cutting edge and totally professional, this book describes in detail approaches to animated media logos from start to finish. Projects begin with a sample story board describing the action, to importing files from other programs to use as templates for models, all the way through final lighting and rendering.

The last section, "Real World Case Studies", breaks down and analyses three animated logo openings for NBC's "Weekend Magazine", "Upfront Tonight" and "NBC News--Decision 98." The CD includes Max project files and source material from these projects.

Although the book focuses on animated logos and opening titles, there is plenty here to learn from. Novices beware--some knowledge of 3D Studio Max is assumed. However, if you feel that your work has reached a plateau or that you've fallen into a rut of mediocre work, 3D Studio Max 3 Media Animation is the ideal guide to elevate your work to the next level. --Mike Caputo, amazon.com

Product Description

If you are creating logos and broadcast animations--the better part of the MAX population--you don't need books telling you how to make watered down versions of cinematic special effects. Instead, you need a book that focuses on how to integrate your ideas and generate compelling, artistic animations with 3D Studio MAX. Media Animation reveals secrets that were developed by long hours of head scratching and fine-tuning. They are simple and can be used in many different aspects of MAX animation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource for Max 2.5, too!, 18 Aug 1999
By A Customer
For intermediate users, and even beginners who have a pretty good understanding of Max, much of the information and many of the lessons can be applied to earlier releases. With some creativity and a little patience, the majority of the lessons can be accomplished in 2.5. I was working with the author and did a lot of the tutorials with R 2.5 and found that I was able to streamline my own working style and achieve a better understanding of some fundamental techniques. The information is most definitely structured in a way that it will apply to your own projects and you won't be struggling to figure out how to translate to fit your current needs. I am a much smarter Max user now.
