Customer Reviews

great text

This is a great book. Very clear and basic. Exactly what 3D design students need. HOWEVER, it is way too pricy. AND desperately needs a new edition updated with color pictures and more current art work.

Good Basic Sculpture Advice

This book is a good reminder of the fundamental elements that make good sculpture. The author draws from a variety of resources and includes lots of visuals. There are some project suggestions in the back of the book to allow more hands on interaction with the idea of three dimensional design. I would recommend this book for any beginner in 3D and as a good reminder for more experienced sculptors.

Superb device

This book really got me on my feet with the whole "three dimensions" thing. Before reading this swashbuckling tale, I feel my life existed in only 2 dimensions. It took this masterpiece for me to realize that my view of the world was horribly obscured B.U.T.D. (Before Understanding Three Dimensions). This is a life altering work of brilliance, form first dimension to third.

Quite possibly the greatest book of the genre written

Upon my reading of the book, I took much time to contemplate the intricacies of the genious of the Authors. Especially Jerry Leisure, who, in my opinion, possesses one of the greatest minds of the century. I recomend this book to anyone who is interested in this subject matter.
