Customer Reviews

Good character animation book, but a bad MAX book...

This book teach you how to make a good character modeling and animation + basic tutor of Character Studio. So, if you looking for character modeling and animation in MAX, better buy other books like Inside series of 3DS MAX R2.5

Great learning tool.

If you don't like this book it's because you dont know what your doing.It comes chock full of models and taught me how to really use Bones Pro.

An excelent book

While this book was written before realease 2 it still useful. The techniques discussed still work. The chapters on animal anatomy and movement are invaluable and can be applied to many other 3d programs as well. The book is a little outdated but anyone with half a brain can still make work for release 2, or any other 3d program for that matter. If you are a character animator this book is a must, regardless of the software you use.
