2.0 out of 5 stars The faulty attached CD-ROM spoils an otherwise good book, 2 Sep 1999
By A Customer
The tutorials are based on existing files on the CD. Unfortunately the CD in my case was faulty and therefore rendered the tuturials practically useless. The CD seems to be a common problem with reviewers. I saw this, but thought it wouldn't happen to me. I regret purchasing this book. It was a waste of money.

By A Customer

4.0 out of 5 stars Tough books for really beginner, but worth it, 14 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This books is a good buy for who are really interested in 3D & animation. This is my first book in 3D software. After I read it, I found that it is quite tough for really Beginner who not much experience in others simple computer software. I feel that this book suite me because at least I am experience in AutoCAD & others simple software. Lastly, I hope that more publisher will publishs some books in more projects (in one books), so that we can use 3D studio max 2 more efficiently & productivity.
