 Would've been excellent apart from a few annoying errors September 14, 2006
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
Excellent book generally very well written, good techniques, invaluable resource, probably the best there is.
Would've been 5 stars but for the errors, on 3 or 4 that I've come across in the course of the book, at first I was blaming myself and thought I had done something wrong but after re-reading and re-reading discovered there was some tiny ommisson like missing out a tick box that was key to the process (page 144 see if you can find it).
And to top it off? Missing out the tutorial file C15-01.max on the DVD , now that was just careless.
Still very very worthwhile, I just wish the author had a website with a discussions board to deal with these errors post-publish.
 Excellent book for beginner and experienced Max users July 31, 2006

This carefully written book shows real knowledge of the subject. The book comes with a DVD with all the tutorial content you willl need. The book covers a broad range of lighting techniques and recommends excellent workflow tips for all users in any discipline. It also covers how to set-up your files so they can be manipulated in Combustion for cinematic quality and advanced effects. This book is a must have for anyone within the 3D CGI industry. The Glossy example images within the book are an excellent inspiration for beginner users, and the advanced tips and tricks will keep the most advanced users happy. Covering all areas of CGI lighting from radiosity to MentalRay. This book should be on every studios bookshelf.
