Customer Reviews

Excellent

I've got "Inside LightWave [8]" which is really 'the' book to get for tutorials and learning. Killer Tips though is a favorite of mine because it's an excellent desk reference. I have WindowsXP Killer Tips and it's always being referred to for a handy tip or "ah-ha" - well - LightWave Killer Tips is the same. It's full color and worth every penny. Lots of great tips!

Just what we need

The title says it all, "Killer Tips". It's a quick and easy way to bring you up to speed on a range of key features that can seriously make a difference to your workflow. It's not meant to be a replacement for the manual, but more in the spirit of Photoshop Killer Tips. Easily digestable, full colour goodness, highly recommended.

On second thought.

I may have been a little too harsh on my review of Dan and Randy's book. I guess I was expecting a replacement for a manual instead of the insight that was actually in the book. I'm sorry Dan and Randy.

A Really Great Addition...

Knowing that Dan Ablan is the lead author on this book it was almost a sure sell for me. But even so I wasn't sure if I could use it. Lightwave 8 Killer Tips is a remarkable book for picking up tips on all those little things you didn't realize were possible with lightwave. I love this book! It's full color and the tips are an easy read on the john, on the train, or whereever. Thanks Dan and Randy for this cool book.

LW 8 Killer Tips - A Must for Lightwave Users

Dan and Randy have just hit a home run with this book. It's jammed packed with helpful hints which save time. The faster ray trace tip is worth the price alone. A book with this much info for under $30.00 is a no brainer. Buy it!
