Summary: For those who wish to 3d animate.
Review: I recieved this book as a gift from one of my relatives. This shows the work and effort that goes into computer animation. This book is really intresting, and shows one of the Navy Spirit Ad in the process.

Summary: WHAT????... I'm shocked
Review: This book is an insolence.
All scenes are faked, i.e. the storyboard with final rendered scenes, and illustrations in a bad quality I've never seen before .
The techniques in modelling and setting up the characters were
blasphemy.
Did you ever seen, that the antlers of a goat are distorting and flexible? Why they need a bone-structure?

I'm 3D-Artist since 12 years and can say:

THIS BOOK IS NOT WORTH THE MONEY...!

Rating:
Summary: Great for kids.
Review: This is a great book for children who want a little insight into 3d animation. It has a simple step by step example of what a production process might be like. Easy for kids to get an idea. Not by any means meant to teach anyone how to do computer animation, but a good way to spark some interest in a young child.
