and 90% of them collect dust. Even though I dont discourage buying "how to"

books, the only ones

Ive personally found helpful are the ones that have plenty of tutorials. Step

by step is the best way

(for me) to learn quickly. I learned a great deal of 3D MAX this way. Also if

there are hands on classes in the

area, I will spend a couple hundred dollars to get hands on training a couple

of nights.


I havent personally seen Ken's new book, but I also dont know who Ken is. I

think Ive seen him on the list a

couple of times promoting his book. If Ken has some really killer Flash work

and Im missing it let me know,

but personally I wouldnt buy any book that didnt show me cuttin edge

techniques. If your a beginner and

this book has step by step tutorials then it might be worth a look. Recently, I

found some of the

new graphics magazines to have more 3D tutorials than most of my 3D 5inch $70

books.


Ive seen some great online tutorials, but you have to search through alot of

crap first to find the good stuff.

Sometimes its just more efficient to have a book in front of you.
