Goodness you had me scared!
I read the first line and said "Darn! I want him to like the book. How can I
fix it? Its already published."
I'm glad you like it.
I have to say that I'm using it to structure some portions of my class – i.e.
the lighting tutorial and materials tutorial I walk people through. Maybe some
of the others.
But – then I say "OK, I'm going home now and you've 3 hours to do tutorial 8.
We've covered all the material in that tutorial, but I want you to practice. Be
creative."
Today I cut them loose and said "OK – now today is bug day. We made the spider
in class – you go make your own bug . . . " Everyone's screens keep looking
exactly alike – and I really want them to experiment more. The best class is
when you get a different result from each student and you can compare them . .
.
I try to teach 3D Studio like an art class – a single model but a dozen
interpretations
Thens you can say "OK – that worked because, that didn't work because."
Anyway – the book is a good augmenter of your own materials I think – and good
for lab classes. At least, that is what I had in mind.
