I am getting 3D Studio on Monday (most likely, should have been here today.
Wasn't) , so does that count? Where can I get more info on this? Or is it
explained in the manuals? Any suggestions where or what books are available
on 3D computer animation that aren't just text books? Any help is
appreciated.
When you get 3DS, you'll get 14 sample IPAS applications with it, and the
manual explains what you can do with them. And as long as you send in the
IPAS card, you'll get on the list.
Regarding books on 3D animation… the Springer-Verlag catalog is full of
interesting books on the subject, and the ACM/Siggraph yearly technical
session compendiums are priceless.

Springer-Verlag is at 175 5th Ave., NY NY 10010.
You can find their books at most decent technical bookstores. Look for a
recent one called "Computer Animation".
