Books on modeling etc...

[tjc101]

Hi all,

I`m working my way through various tuts on modeling etc in max and also doing the learning channel tuts too but having recently chatted to some pro modellers they`ve said that a lot of what they learned came from books so I`m posting here to see if any of you have any you`d recommend or have any thoughts on the subject.

I`m waiting to hear back from one of the pro`s I was talking to on the subject to see what his recommendations are.

My main interests are general modelling but also modelling for games. Also texturing, animation, mapping, materials etc.

I realise max is a massive and complex program and one book (or books) are not going to cover everything it can do but I`ve googled and come across a few that look interesting.

Below are some EG`s on the books I`ve come across.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/3D-Automotive-Modeling-Insiders-Design/dp/0240814282/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8

https://www.amazon.co.uk/3ds-Max-Projects-Chandler-x/dp/1909414050/ref=pd_sim_14_3?_encoding=UTF8&ps...

I`d really appreciate any advice or thoughts on this.

Thanks. 🙂

If you have links for those I`d very much appreciate it.
