3DStudio Book
I agree with you, though I'd probably use fewer 'dis-words' – maybe
challenging and somewhat frustrating, instead. I'm for anything that takes
the tutorial material and frames it into projects. Instead of asking "How
would that be done?" I'd rather be saying, "Oh… That's how it's done!"
In other areas, like graphic design, there are a slew of 'how-to' pubs,
like "HOW" magazine, "Step-by-Step", "Before & After", and all the 3rd
party stuff like "ALDUS Magazine", etc. I look at all the things 3DS can
do and everything _I'd_ like to do with it, and often get stuck somewhere
in the middle.
