Beginner book on 3D Rendering

[Anonymous]

Im new to 3D and I am looking for a beginner level book to learn 3D rendering in AutoCAD Architecture. Does anyone have any recommendation.

I would like a book where I can actually built a home or building as the book goes along.

Thanks

You should try Autodesk Press or Amazon..............Look for Authors like
Paul Aubin and/or Scott Olstott.......both have excellent books that take
you thru learning and using ADT/ACA for building the Models. I don't use
the Rendering feature(s), but again, look the places mentioned, and I am
sure you will find something. Also, just try rolling up your sleeves and
dive in.

Unfortunately, Paul Aubin's book has not a chapter covering the ACA 2008
Render tools:

Maybe he and James Smell are going to write a new book dedicated to the ACA
render engine, as they did with Viz Render:

I would recommend "AutoCad Architecture 2008 A Comprehensive Tutorial" by H. Edward Goldberg. It ends with Tutorial Project 28, Hillside House. Rendered within ACA 2008. Enjoy!
