- I hear there are several in the works right now, but one is
- available right now.
-
- (Trying to pull this out of a foggy memory):
- The title is Autocad: 3D Design and Presentation. You may have
- seen other ACad books like it - it's the blue and gold series.
- I can only recall one of the author's names right now...
- Bousquet, but I can get the full info. for you if you like.
-
- The 3DStudio section is good, about 150 pages. It's hardly
- what you'd call a "manual." It doesn't go into the shaper
- or lofter much at all, but it does have some nice tips and
- tricks for creating certain effects (shafts of light, etc.)
- and outlines how many functions are used (morphing, creating
- your own maps, etc.) It's illustrated and full of step-by-
- step examples.
