Summary: Money for old rope
Comment: This book says "advanced modelling and animation". The modelling and animation examples in this book are of a beginner's standard and poorly executed. The tutorials are utterly uninspirational and lacking any creativity. The demo files on the accompanying CD are, frankly, embarassing. Why would you want to follow a tutorial that produces such a substandard result?
I find it offensive that an author can exploit the ambition of a novice - providing nothing but empty promises.
Free tutorials on the internet are by far the most diverse and useful resource available to an emerging modeller and animator.
DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK.

Summary: Pure Power
Comment: This book reads like a "Secrets of the master's revealed." Yes, it assumes you know whats what, but if you do know what is what, then there is really no other book available. It took me the better half of 60 days to work this journey, but you come out bigger and bolder than ever on the other side. If you are dedicated and put in the hard time, this book will take you to a pro status. My eyes were once closed, now after reading this book, they are wide open. I can only hope that the great Mr. Kuligan and his associates write another book that covers the few untouched features of 3DS MAX that he did not address in this book . A true must-own for any aspiring 3d artist lying in wait....

Summary: i'm sure there one better than this
Comment: I'm following the first proyect of the book, wich is the largest, and aplies many modeling techniques, and animation tools too, plus a little texturing. i won't denied it, it's a very prectical book, but I just get that sensation, that there has to be a better one, I don't expect to cover all the program tool, but if it says advanced modeling and animating, so I expect some great modeling techniques, and great animation tips too.
The book itself consist in two big proyects, where you finally get two animations, as the result of a extensive use of many tools. The rest of the book it's filled up with some quick tutorials, that are not very different from that ones found on the web.
In conclusion, I would expect a more modling and animating dedicated book, and not a book trying to teach you a little of everything without getting in depth in anything.
PD: If you are used to those step by step tutorial books, DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK, it sometimes skip steps in the proyect, like assuming you already know how to reach the next step.
