    Default 3ds Max 8 Arch Visual Book

    I bought a copy.
    I have to say it is a good book.
    Over all a book for reference for arch viz.
    The only one i have come across.

    Alot of the veteran max users will know most of the book by now, it covers everyday modeling featutres.

    But there is always something to learn.

    Bottom line if your in the business of Architectural Visualisation, Buy the Book.

    A personal opinion

    I've picked it up too, have had a chance to glance at it, and being a C4D user, it looks like it will help speed up the learning for 3d max. I am looking forward to exploring in more detail.

    I too have had my copy for about a week now and I offer the following thoughts:

    The book is well written and easy to understand offering content that is of value to a broad range of users from novice to advanced. There are numerous tip and tricks as well as insight to help those in the business of architectural visualization. As both an architect and architectural illustrator I find this to be a very good resource.

    My 2 cents…

    I got mine last week...

    This book is "A MUST HAVE" for anyone in the architectural CG industry. It contains great information for the novice user all the way through a multi year MAX veteran. This one is not just a bunch or words with little substance...it is fantastically illustrated and takes users step by step through each process. Anyone teaching visualization out there? This would be the #1 text book of choice. Thanks Mr. Smith...now get started on that V-Ray book.

    I have not seen the book yet and it's unfortunate that such book are hard to find in Philippine bookstores.
    Hope I can get hold of one.

    I think you can get them through the big online book stores such as amazon, borders, and barnes and noble. Also through vizmasters.
