From the Author

Excellent treatment of animation and video post capabilities
The treatment of animation in this volume extends beyond the level in volume I, and instructs on animation techniques using Character Studio, Bones Pro, and other plugins. You cover both character animation and facial animation. The treatment of MAX's video post module is worth reading.

The authors are veterans with MAX, who have either authored or contributed books on this subject, and who work and teach in the area.
