Pat, We're nearing the end of the semester, and are heavily involved in preparing the final touches for the winter semester. We are in the process of updating our 'required and recommended' book list. One of the things we need is a replacement for: "AutoCAD 3D design and Presentation" by Jeff Hester Although it is a good book, it has outgrown our new course. We are adding a touch of Animator Pro and 3D Studio, and we will need a book that touches on these topics, or at least offers an introduction. AutoShade is passe. Do you or anyone else know of any book covering this? The ideal book I'm looking for (but doubt I'll find) is one that starts with 3D in AutoCAD (surfaces, AME…), then continues with Ani and 3DS… The course is 3D design and presentation, and ends with a walkthrough or animation of an Architectural structure.
