#3D Studio Books
4 messages in this thread
Does anyone know of any Books or Manuals that give additional help
or short cuts for using 3D Studio? I am also interested in any Person or
Company that provides Predrawn objects (I already know of ViewPoint).
Larry – the only (partial) 3D Studio book I'm aware of so far is "AutoCAD 3D
Design and Presentation" by Michele Bousquet and Jeff Hester (both forum
members, by the way), published by New Riders Publishing.
As it says on the cover, it …"covers AutoCAD 3D commands and AME,
Autoshade, Autodesk Renderman, Autoflix, Autodesk Animator Pro and Autodesk
3D Studio".
It costs $29.95. You should be able to find it at most computer bookstores,
or you can order direct from New Riders at 800.541.6789.
I don't think that this is going to be the only book for very long!

Larry, New Riders Publishing publishes a book called AUTOCAD 3D DESIGN AND
PRESENTATION. It has information on 3DSTUDIO as well as AutoCAD, AutoShade
& Animator.
My company Arch Image, Inc., is a RENDERING, ANIMATION & Consulting
service for Architects, Desginers & such. While we don't create predrawn
objects yet, in the future we will.
Larry:
I see David and Michael have already replied regarding 3D Studio books.
Although the title may be somewhat misleading, about 1/2 of AutoCAD 3D
Design and Presentation deals with the "presentation" side of things. The
intent was a holistic treatment of the entire modeling-to-presentation
process.
BTW, the books goes into its second printing shortly.
