Although ideally suited for new users of Max, the author has sprinkled the book liberally with sidebars that help users of older versions get up to speed quickly with Max 3's new or changed features. Knowing that you have to be able to build your model before you put it into a scene, "Modeling Fundamentals" covers Max 3's five basic modeling methods--spline, mesh, parametric, patch, and NURBS modeling--in detail with examples. mesh for general modeling) are provided. Not only does this reinforce what an experienced user may already know, it helps new users climb the learning curve quickly, making "3D Studio Max 3 Fundamentals" an excellent supplemental book for any new user of the software. "Scene Composition Fundamentals" explains basic compos
Filler words and Fluff This - After reading 5 chapters(if you make it that far) this book will teach you very little about 3D Studio Max. Few pictures and hands on explination, too many filler words(this book could've been written in under 60 pages). This book insults even the most novice of computer users.

I haven't read much computer books in the past, my previous computer related book was "Director 7 & Lingo Authorized" for Macromedia's Director 7 though which the book was very in-depth with detailed instructions.
