Michele Bousquet had written a series of six books called 3DS Tips and Tricks that will cover both release 3 and 4. A clear, concise, and well-illustrated series that takes you beyond the tutorials–each book covers a specific topic while taking you through a particular project that is illustrated on the cover: Shaping and Lofting; Morphing and Animation; Glass and Reflection; Materials and Lighting; Animals and People (BTW–the dragon image on this cover won a CADDIE Image Award this year); and Technical Tips. She has also created a poster that accompanies Material & Lighting that has all the texture map files from the CD-ROM printed out (quite handy to have on the wall near your workstation.) They will all be available soon from Delmar Publishers. You can contact the publisher for more information or to receive a catalog at 1-800-347-7707. Hope this helps. MBR
