Not bad but could be better (3/3 people found this helpful)
Im currently studying digital illustration at university so I was looking for a nice chunky book to get my teeth into. However this book became a bit frustrating. The first few chapters are quite good basically spoon feeding a novice user about how to use the graphic interface and 3d basics. However, the book is not exhaustive, unlike others I have read. It misses out key issues such as using alpha channels with the graphic interface and resorts all to quickly to using lingo (directors scripting langauge) to solve more complex problems. This made life very frustrating as I was trying to complete a project and realising that I had to learn code to do anything half decent. To be honest I would either 1. Find another book or 2.Just use the help section within the program itself.
Good 3D trainning but the book is too big (7/10 people found this helpful)
The book is too fat, the first half is for a real newbie nothing about 3D. Plus I think you can buy other Director books that teach better than this book.
The second half is good and does the job for 3D trainning as the title of the book. The book is easy to follow, great book if you want to understand how Director 3D works. If it was smaller i would have given it 5 stars.
