About this title

From the Back Cover

The market for skilled 3D artists is booming, and the tool-of-the-trade most in demand is 3D Studio MAX, from Kinetix (a subsidiary of Autodesk). This pricey but ubiquitous program is the choice of professional artists (working on Windows NT or 95) everywhere for creating 3D images for print and screen, plus animations for television, movies, and the Web. The addition of the dimension of depth makes 3D software exponentially more complex than normal graphics software, both conceptually and operationally. Factor in the additional dimension of time in the animation component and the complexities go through the roof. This book, like all books in Peachpit's Visual QuickStart series will be an excellent introduction to 3D Studio MAX 3 for beginners, incorporating lots of step-by-step instructions, with plenty of visual examples. The author is an experienced 3D Studio MAX teacher as well as an accomplished digital artist and her illustrations will be unusually appealing for a book on this subject.
