Reviews

  • 'Sam'

    This is a very good book for starters. It explains the max design tools and their application through tutorials. I really like the projects given at the end of the book. Also, the student resources that a student can download from www.cadcim.com website are very helpful, especially the rendered images . Overall it is a great book.
