3D Game Animation For Dummies

Comes highly recommended My son has used this book repeatedly to support his learning. A must have for potential game animators

What a waste of money when the programme which this book is based on is no longer available.

Son loved this book

Sehr guter einstieg in das Thema, der so gehalten ist, dass sich das Wissen in den gängigen Programmen auch umsetzen lässt. Auch für den Artdirector zum lesen empfohlen, der nurwissen will, was die jJungs auds dem Team da eigentlich den ganzen Tag über treiben.

Thanks

gives general information on the subject

I like this book! It is decent and interesting! I recommend this book and it is a good series! Awesome!

I purchased this book hoping it would help me show a novice how to start modeling for games. While the author covers the overview and technical terms, the essential modeling instruction is severely lacking. The book talks about creating detail but fails to deliver quality examples. I bought this title because I own a few of the author's other works including the 3ds max bible. This was a dissapointment because it fails to provide the information on technical skills while it raises false hopes of earning money from games, if folks use this resource. (Read back of book cover) The up side to this book is in the overview. It does introduce the information and resources needed for the game industry, and it covers the basic concepts of animation and modeling, but does not mention many important pit falls common to many an aspiring beginner.
