Summary: Not Bad... But not Great...
Review: Well, I got to say this is quite an amazing book. My first book I ever purchased! (let alone, off the internet). When I first got started reading this book, and following the tutorials, I didnt really like it, it was much to broad, could have been a little more detail, but after you pick up the basics, you understand why he dosent go into detail. If you get this book, make sure you know the basics of trueSpace. Other than that, the cd was helpful (even though all the demos). Yes I recommend this book if you are a beginner, but not that you never read the user manual. trueSpace is amazing, I have aquired much skill from this book and it was worth my money in the longrun.

Summary: A must have book!
Review: Whether a complete beginner or seasoned user this book is filled with the need to know tips and expert how to's to get the most from the superb 3D software package.The book begins with a TS4 features overview, then proceeds gradually and efficiently into covering the basics of modelling -understanding Nurbs, character modelling, surface texturing, animating, working with advanced models and lighting, pyrotechnic effects, radiosity and finally on how to create a short film. Also theres a valuable end section on what you need to set up an excellent and highly productive 3D studio. All the above topics are exceptionally well covered with step by step lessons designed for the best possible learning curve. The accompanying cd has some very good shareware plugins, as well as 300 extra textures ,lesson files and inspiring imagery. Truly destined to go down as THE TS4 BIBLE, you won't be disappointed to have added this gem to your collection. If you're seriously thinking about adding just one book to your Truespace collection then this has to be the absolute finest offering out at the moment on the subject. Highly recommended! Already looking forward to Author Frank Rivera's next offering.
