The Cinema 4D R8 Handbook [With CDROM]

While no book is perfect, I feel the other reviewers were overly harsh. If anyone is expecting to be spoon fed the required information on any 3D program they should consider a new occupation. 3D modelling and animation is, by its very nature, all about problem solving as no two projects are alike. However, for those willing to invest some time and effort to STUDY the book's concepts and content then a reward can be found. The previous reviewers were correct in that often a complete set of instructions were left out. However, I feel this was Adam's teaching strategy, and by applying the basic skills with my own problem solving abilities I was able to produce not only the tutorial projects, but also my own uniquely concieved ideas and models. Again, if you don't like thinking for yourself and expect a 'how do I have a succesful career?' book, then perhaps this one isn't for you. If, on the other hand, you enjoy applying what you learn you'll get as much out of this book as I have.
