Anyone, Is there a magazine dedicated to 3DS? Where can I purchase 3ds books other than the manuals that come with the software? Is there a list of user groups with locations? I'm basically looking for weekly or monthly publications to keep me up to date on the new releases, IPAS routines (even 3rd party) or short cuts for 3DS. Any info will be appreciated. Paul. PS same goes for Ani Pro.

Check into Planet Studio yet? It's pricey but it is very well done and full of information. -Lee

Paul, There is a wealth of information regarding 3D Studio, publications like Planet Studio, 3D Artist are in the Newsletter format then there are numerous books by very talented people. Perhaps if you told us where you were located we could point you towards a dealer in your area. You can also contact Autodesk directly at 1-800-525-2763 and ask for a Dealer in your area. We are an Autodesk Authorized Dealer located in Green Bay, Wisconsin. James M. Murphy JAMES MURPHY CONSULTING 1-414-435-7345 If it has anything to do with 3D Studio we carry it! <BG> Murph'

Hello, Don't mean to intrude, but what is this Planet Studio? Sounds like it might be a 3D Studio specific periodical. Thanks, Kevin

Jonas, Did I get a reply from THE Jonas that seems to be responding to most every message I see posted (perhaps a slight exaggeration there…)? I am not worthy! I will have to look into this Planet Studio more deeply. Thanks. Kevin

Hello James, Thanks for the response. We are located in Pittsburgh, PA. I will locate the dealer where I purchsed 3DS for info on publications, Although I have asked them about a 3DS users group and they referred me to the Greater Pittsburgh AutoCAD User's Group (GPAUG). The discussion in the group is never 3DS only AutoCAD topics. Thank you much. Paul.
