Customer Reviews

Starts at the beginning & leaves you feeling like a pro.

This book leads you through E3d2 which is out of Macromedia's further development plans. But don't consider E3D2 to be a "dead" tool! E3D is probably the most intuitive 3D modeling package ever. It uses spline curves which are familiar to most 2D graphics users and builds on them to enter the world of 3D. Gary David Bouton writes the tutes in a logically sequential way and supplies a lot of files and resources on the disc to help readers take the ideas presented and develop them into their own ideas. The biggest problem was that the trial version of E3d2 did not always recognise the files on the disc. I complained and had a replacement disc within a week (and that's to Australia!). When I needed extra help I found the author to be a wonderful support via email.
