Summary: Beyond Fundamentals
Comment: I hesitated to buy this book because I consider myself a "veteran" user and I didn't want to go back to basics but I was pleasantly surprised at how advanced it was and the wealth of information that the book had to offer. The author seems to really want you to know what you need to know and goes out of his way to show you. The pages have lots of sidebars with valuable tips and cautions. The book is also a great way to segue from 4x to 5.0. The new features are showcased in many of the tutorials.

Summary: Few mistakes on tutorials
Comment: Looks like a good book. However, misleading steps on the chapter three make you stuck almost at the end of the Applying Material exercise. I took some time to figure out what to do to continue provided the misinformation written by the author, it's very frustrating. I am using Max since version 2 so that's why I think I could try some other steps to finish the tutorials on the book. I did not finish the book yet, will see how many more mistakes are there, I hope none...

Summary: 3ds Max 5 Fundamentals book review
Comment: This is a superb book on Max 5. One of the major upgrade from 3ds Max 3,4 to Max 5 is the new functionality of radiosity engine/photon mapping in Max 5. a Kind of merger of Max and Lightscape. For this important subject along is worth of buying this book. If you need to learn about 3ds Max modeling,Texture mapping & animations,there are many good books out there. But for Max 5's new Radiosity Lighting feature(make your rendered images look very clean and photo-realistic),this book given an in-depth look on the subject of outdoor & indoor lighting. In 3d visualization, successful lighting of a scene is almost everything... one sees.
