Summary: Great Book, if you are a beginner in character animation
Comment: When I bought this book one year ago, I was completely amazed of it because it gives you the very basics of Character Animation especially due to 3D Graphics. But dont expect George Maestri to tell you how to claim the highest jobs in the industry - to be a character animator requires hard training, work, endurance and - most important - enthusiasm. See this book as a guide but not as the key to be a good character animator. Apart of that George Maestri has done an exciting job - buy this book, if you want to understand how to start learning the "royal class" of animation.

Summary: Aged and poor CD, good layout, some good tips
Comment: This book isn't as good as I thought it would be, it's one very difficult object to describe. It would have been better to write more on how to use easily a computer for animation; devices, shortcuts, tablets, rotoscoping and explaining how to use these techniques for modelling and animating characters. Great to see an explication of traditionnal animation techniques transfered to 3D, but it's far from complete. A good exercise on 'what's a function-curve and what can I do with it in all those packages is missing. Even that there's a big chapter trying to explain this. (most, simillary, typically, most, most, broadley etc...); (In SI, a motion-graph is called a Fcurve..., In lightwave, it is called a Motion Graph and looks like this). The CD coming with the book is not complete by what the book says, and very small of content. Positive: The staging and posing chapter is important and does need a lot of pictures. There aren't a lot of books covering digital character animation and as all the big packages are upgrading and even changing names now, I can't advise you this book, sorry
