DESCRIPTION:
This book, his fifth, highlights both facts. While the book does a terrific job of teaching how to use the program, the real stars are the appendices. These appendices alone are an invaluable reference resource. Technically oriented tools like 3D Studio VIZ aren't easy to use. Each chapter is illustrated with screen shots and rendered frames, and contains step-by-step text for the tutorial in question. The author is a good writer, and he's got lots of experience in VIZ. Spanning over 1,100 pages, and containing 16 chapters and four appendices, the book covers everything from the basics of using VIZ all the way through final rendering and delivery of VIZ-rendered animation on videotape. At best, the ren

"THE" VIZ Book-You needn't look further This book is the FANTASTIC. I'm an Architect and so appreciative that such a book exist. The material is meant for Architects (although applicable to many other 3D disciplines) and is extremely indepth without being tedious. The exercises are taken from historical projects recognized the world over which makes them interesting and fun. Mr. Omura had a game plan in writing this book and it pays off big time for the reader. By the time you've completed this book you'll have the skills and essential tools to create your own world's of expression. The author has a vast understanding . "The manual Viz should have come with" according to Photi Kazis - dessein Architecture. After one training session and about 10 months using Viz I bought this book and found it very useful.Although it is 1100 pages of info, it is not blindingly full on, rather the author concentrates on making sure the methods and techniques are fully and clearly explained with plenty of screen shots and repeating previously explained information where needed. You won't find everything Viz does in this book but you will find more than enough to be able to create life like rendereings.As much a [beginners] guide as it is an advanced user's salvation, this book sits on or near my work. Sorin STEFANESCU said Good content, BAD typographic job. I have recently received this book as a gift. The content is GREAT but the format of the book LACKS A LOT in quality. That is, because there are over 1100 pages and because somebody had the unfortunate idea to place 16 color drawings on thick glossy paper in the middle, my long awaited book got ruined (read broke in two pieces, right in the middle). That was the WORST typographic job I have ever seen. All thanks to SYBEX Inc. who have edited this book. Hey guys, couldn't you make two volumes?
