Title: 3ds Max 6 Animation and Visual Effects Techniques (Graphics Series) by Sanford Kennedy ISBN: 1-58450-334-3 Publisher: Charles River Media Pub. Date: 24 December, 2003 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $49.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.6 (5 reviews)
Rating: 1
Summary: Appalling...
Comment: This is appalling, the models are terrible, the animation amateurish, and the texturing ugly (horrible misuse of procedural textures). Avoid if you can, there are many fine books on Max, this is NOT one of them.
Rating: 2
Summary: A great book if you aspire to make cheesey renderings and FX
Comment: This book presents a good overview of the CG industry, with a few topics I've not found elsewhere. However, it is discouraging to work through a book that is filled with cheesey looking renderings. That's right, horrible. I don't mean to flame or be destructive in my criticism, but if you could only see the color plates contained in this book, you would treat the author with skepticism at best. I still can't understand how someone who obviously knows the tools he uses very well, i.e. MAX and Combustion, can turn out such B-rated models and renderings. This book is a good example that no matter how much technical knowledge you have, computer software, no matter how advanced, will never make up for an utter lack of artistic talent. Sanford Kennedy is very technically knowledgeable but his artistic skills are virtually noexistant. Try checking his website for an example of the 'great' renderings you can aspire to if you buy this book. 90% of the pages aren't even up, or have been under construction since 2001. www.sanfordkennedy.com

Summary: Good info I couldn't find elsewhere
Comment: This book actually told me how to build an entire scene, including the characters and buildings. It was fun and informative. Exactly what I was looking for.
