5.0 out of 5 stars A must for 2D and 3D Animators alike, 25 Oct 2001
I have been building characters in 3D Max for some time, but they lack real character in their animation and design. This book, designed for 2D artists has been invaluable in aiding me to get the shape and character of my 3D characters correct, and to make the animation believable.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Animator's Bible, 15 Oct 1999
By A Customer
Great book. Lot's of really usefull walk cycles that can be applied to all kinds of different characters. An absolute must for an animator. In my opinion it ranks up there with "The Illusion of Life".

5.0 out of 5 stars outstanding, 20 Jan 2000
By A Customer
This book is a must for all the aspiring animators and professionals, as said previously this book has an invaluable number of cycles that can be ruthlessly stolen and used for similar projects. The lip synchs' are extremely useful.
