Re: Book Reviews

Same same, I'd like to get a couple of suggestions too.

Steve Robert's Character Animation in 3D
Richard William's The Animator's Survival Kit
Harold Whitaker and John Halas's Timing of Animation
Bruce Block's The Visual Story : it offers students and professionals in directing, screen writing, cinematography, and production design a clear understanding of the relationship between the story/script structure and the visual structure of film and video
Jeremy Birn's Digital Lighting and Rendering
Gerald Millerson's The Technique of Lighting for TV and Motion...

(last but not least) Betty Edwards's Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain <<<<it teaches you to recognize when you are using the creative cognitive response

enjoy...

This book is quite good, it goes quite in depth and is for people who have some background knowledge of 3D Studio Max. Although it sticks to modelling just one character, it doesn't give a general overview of how to achieve results in modelling different types of characters. But overall its good if its your first book on modelling characters for animation.

At just under a £5 its worth the investment, even though I am trying to learn Maya and Maya is meant to be easier for character modelling. I find max less daunting and more intuitive to find out where everything is.

there are some other good books on modelling characters
