    Default best (current) Viz book available?

    Does anyone have any suggestions about what the best Viz book available would be? I have found some, but they seem to be for older versions.

    I checked out the book links on cgarchitect, but I didn't see anything that jumped out.

    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    I would look at the Max books by Ted Boardman. Although it is for Max, most of the things will work with Viz as well. There used to be a book by George Orman (spelling I think) for Viz 4 that was real good, not sure if they ever made an updated version.

    I have used the "Fundamentals Courseware" series from Autodesk. They are quite good. They are available on their website for all of the Autodesk products. The VIZ4 book is about 200 pages.

    The "mastering 3d studio viz" books are great. I have read much of the viz 3 edition. I believe there are more current releases though. They are super big books with tutorials on everything.
