3ds Max 7 Bible [With CDROM]

I purchased this book so I could get a handle on some of the new features in 3D Studio Max 7, and guess what, It's got just about everything in it. The tutorials are pretty simple stuff,(no real eye candy here) but the principals learned are great. I'd recomend this book to anybody using this software, It will give you a great grounding to try out your own ideas on creating special effects and the like. Well done Kelly L. Murdock for producing such a complete reference manual.

I keep this book right next to my workstation, and use it all the time! I have been using Max for seven years, and this book still teaches me things I never knew. It may be a little rough for beginners, but no sense in walking when you can run. :) Not to mention it has a cd with it that has the entire book on it plus some basic 3d models to play with. I recommend this book to all my friends who want a good reference that covers it all.

This book is very in depth. This is even a great reference for pros!

im sure this book is completely helpful for the one who wants to learn more abour 3d max, even if you are a beginner or a master in order to create all things you would have on your mind.

You'll get a kick out of this. It covers almost everything at great lenghts. After buying Max this would be the book for you. I guarantee that you'de be an animator at the end. You'll even crave for more once you've finished this for other reading materials. Highly recommended and nicely layed out.
