Inside 3d Studio Max: Animation

The cloth binding and fancy cover hologram give the impression that this is one computer book that might have some staying power. Contains volume two (modeling and materials), and volume three (animation), plus five bonus chapters: compositing, retouching, and post-processing with Photoshop; troubleshooting 3D Studio MAX under Windows NT; architectural rendering exterior drive-throughs and fly-bys; terraforming and landscape composition; and using Amapi with 3D Studio MAX. The CD-ROM includes exercise and example files, still and animated texture maps and materials, ThumbsPlus 3.0, and plug-in demos and shareware. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
