Résumé

3D Studio MAX 3 Effects Magic is structured in a cookbook for highly-trained chefs who are in constant need of new ideas for recipes. They don't need theory, and they don't need beginner level recipes. They need a cookbook they can use in the kitchen while they're working. No non-sense instructions on very imaginative recipes, that the chefs can then take and either use as is, or use as inspiration for their own creations. This book has 25 can't miss recipes for getting stunning effects from 3D Studio MAX.3, cooked up by some of the best CG chefs in the world.

The CD-ROM has all of the project files used in the book, as well as numerous models and textures.
