Touches a lot of areas

I've always been leary of books that tell you step by step every value to input. I like the format that incourages experimentation. A lot of ground is covered here, giving a glimpse at many features of 3ds, but it should be a good springboard towards the confindence to explore the ever deepening waters of 3d software. Many of the tutorials that ship with MAX haven't been updated since version 4 (in some cases version 3) and therefore miss out on some crucial new features.
